"gray shells with a few thin color 255b. cora seams (one of them 1/4 miles dark & containing minute lingulid? fragments?" of fossils. These gray shells contain Lingula, fragments of Canwell- bryozoa, and many others similar to the Blackford Near beds. These forms are 2.55-8 on 23ast N/shales strike N.70E. dip N.20W. at an angle of 85 to 90. After a gap of a couple of yards they are followed by several feet of red purple & greenish shales which are looked and struck, as in immediate contact with the fault between these red shales slate at the fault against the Burch Point dolomite series of Lepidota beds. These Lepidota beds form a high but short cliff and on the west side against a dike or thick sill of a peculiarly dark phase of rock appears 40s rhyolite. Im- mmediately at the contact with the lepidote beds the colors in a very dark gray & fine grained saccharin trips, = 1101. After a foot this both rock becomes porphyritic x a trifle less though still fairly dark. Some- rhyolite mounts, scattered not abun- dant - the porphyry for 2 feet gradually becomes lighter in color until it is the usual pink rhyolite. Then for 5 to 10 feet it becomes good- ly darker in color. A specimen, 1102 shows this gradation from the pink & the darker rock. 1103 is a specimen of the normal rock of the mass taken 20 feet from the contact. It is a fairly dark, grey rhyolitic (?) rock resembling a trip in its dark color. It has very widely scattered small white fieldspars feldsparquartz and in places wide columnar structure and appears similar to 110-0. Friday July 11, rain. Saturday July 12, 1907. Rodgers Island. Mostly trap. sediments skirt the shore on the south side near the east end and for over 100 yds. sediments cover about of 3-4 feet of lended gray buff to brownish sands similar to 1049 (piece of Birch Pt.) this rock is 1104. Under it are 10 feet of the mostly porphyritic pumice shattered plates of a very dark wood black color. They include a few 1/2 inch scarcely granular seams (of Birch Point) and some grains of boulders (called slate). It" thick rifted shattered these larger shales contain some large Canwell- bryozoa and worm trails, = 6.35.9a. The shales are broken into several blocks with different strikes dip N.70W to E.W. with average about N.70W. dip 10-25 to the north. The shales form only a narrow strip a few feet broad about the stock of trap composing the island. MAJOR ISLAND. The south and west sides of the island are seen to trap with long outcropping well developed in places. Mr. Bestin who went around the north side of the island report the island to be mainly rhyolite. at the southeast end of the island appears a massive dike of fables which shows transversely "extendo rocks" but not in the wide.
