proposed. It is stated that nothing very definite has been obtained except the fact that the so called slate rarely contains fossils in places and that these appear similar to the Birch Cove beds. The poryphyry(?) cutting cuts across the slates as thickly sills or lowly inclined dikes Fig.1 shows "large dikes cut by slates and a gabbro dike apparently through the rhyolite porphyry also as shown in fig.1. Ope No. 1083 A is the thin porphyry dike which represents the first occurrence of the porphyry south of the Henry The thick gabbro dikes or stock in prominence the similar to the mass further north and the similarity the mass further north and the similarly the mass further north and the very rapid. 1083 represents some species breaks of the porphyry from the main mass. grey fine grained unmetamorphosed thin slates & thin alaly sandstone occurs on the south side of the river really in G. 34.6. These porphyries are also in reality in G. 34.6. They dip S.80°-100°N and dip Sutrostones strata not only for the absence of metamorphism but for the presence of large Modiolopsis & Laminibranchia for or on rock layers resembling & to Lingula & some ostracoda remains & to the Sharkford Head Beds. These occurs in the upper half. In the lower half where these occur a few courses of thin fine-grained slates a few smaller Laminibranchia & ostracoda were collected G.34.6. which are apparently the same as those occurring in the Sharkford Head beds of thin slates. The slates are exposed on low cliffs on the south side of the river what so beyond the road exploratory guide, in which series of exposures they exist a low anticlinal & synclinal April 160 yards road 1/4 mile The axis is along the dip in the upper beds a few ostracods were selected - 6.34.6a, roped above G.34.6a. The slates of the G.34.6a series dip under a massive cliff of porphyry which is in places thirty feet thick. The cliff represents a slide on along the slate just a few feet thick occurs another series of slates about 60 feet thick striking S.55°W. and dipping slowly to the south. These rocks are thin grey plates with a couple of fussy layers and in two or three portions several calcareous areas occur close together which appear to be very fossiliferous. A few Lingulae were ob- served in the slates (not collected) these slates are cut by a vertical 3 foot very sharp gabbro dikes which have N. 20°E., and the slates are overlain by a light gray colored flow of tuff and lava showing beautiful flow lines and several quincunxial seams parallel to the flow lines. Here light gray fine grained lava is 1004 feet as similar to the light gray tuff above the north end of Sharkford Head Cape. Also lava 1084 appears to conformably overly the slates. "A closer examination shows that this lava is a very solid blacky grey slab which has been looked at. Its taking extends for me 30 feet thick but is not accompan- ed by slate slabs. The slab itself is cut by a thin gabbro dikes which spreads into a sill a few feet thick. The upper slates are followed by a small mass of porphyry which in turn follows along the slope by a gigantic mass of gabbro which forms the high bluff"
