JUN 14 & 15, 1907 The olivites associated underneath the beds (a) there are exposed at the north- mist end of the meir as X color. 3y the mark some black beds 2 ft. thick of red massed natural tuffs separated by grayish green shales. The volcanics associated with the beds 2.55.8 A, B, K are dark traps & pinkish dark flysities severing as thick sill's for cutting the foliferous beds as generally extremely low angles & a few feet northeast of 2.57.8K the flyslate appears to be included in the trap specimen of the traps is 117. of the flyslate 1118.. The trap gredominate northwest of the meir & specimen 1119 at the contact with the shales, 1120 2 ft. from the contact JULY 15, 1907 The trap continues westward a round Blament Point, and on the point S.W. of the latter C in Clement olivites beautiful columnar structure in a cliff rock 100 yds. long. The columns are about a foot thick and not quite vertical being inclined toward N.20 deg W. or essentially, beyond similar to a series of S70 deg N- striking to cementate protile buried color. S.75 deg N is the strike of the last beds seen to the east. This columnar trap is 1121 The stratified tuffs reappear in the little clearing west of the latter C in Blament Point, and show the west end of Oak Hill. They are overlain by traps which form Blament Kilt or Oak Hill. In the trap generically lower in northern 2.55.4 the trap 110 overlaying the tuffs forms the precipitous south shore, while the S.E., east and northern shores of the cove are fringed by red gray striped beds immediately below which is stratified flyslate represented by the upper contour on the chart. On the north side of the cove the trap + tuff cliff appears to resemble a fault scar-pink-gray shales on the side are schistoid and massively lacculated having lost their bedding planes, though they are not appreciably folded if as seems quite like is a fault line has the fault's leave N. 30 deg W: E.15S. In the southeast corner appears about 2 feet of red beds overlying gray beds of limestone elevatures burlyps, so feet. The normal strike as represented by the red beds' outlying gray beds is N. 30 deg W. with a dip N. 52 deg E. & strike 15 degrees. The red beds consist of fractures of naturalized shales 2
