Wed taken 1148 occurs 2 feet
of green gray scapolite dunes flags
art forly, soft. This rock is
1149 and greatly nodular getting more
and more below 1149 but in media black
mass of hard purple agglom-
erate stuff which forms the
east side of the division line
prominently at the head of Long
Cove. The rock is 1150 and must
be about 20 feet thick. It is
unbedded.
It overlies three feet of
after agglomerate of similar
character but which is softer
clear unweathered and has a more
greenish matrix. A specimen is
1157
In the west fork of Long Cove
there occurs several outcrops
of various kinds of trappe
and agglomerates. 1152 is a
specimen from a hard agglom-
erate, massive, 12 feet thick
occurring on the east side of the
Little Cove.
The trapps in these caves are
exceeding of variable character
ranging from purple-black trappe
porphyry to light greenish-gray mudstones
and purplish agglomerates
with a little scale in a few
thin partings.
One of these scaly sediments,
153
occurs in the middle of the west
cove containing a solitary large
Actinoptera = 52.9, E.
The west shore of Long Cove is
formed by the line of strike of
an agglomerate similar to
1150 and 1152.

LEIGHTONS Point.
On the east side of Leighton's Point in the
lower half of 5.47 a broad trap dike
secure just back of the shore this shore line
itself being generally formed by an over-l
ing fringe of shales only a few feet thick
and striking with the above line N.152°
W. to place the trap like bulge through
the shales it forms the shore line. The lower
end of the trap dike lies about 1 mill-
meter or map level of south boundary of
5.47 and the trap forms the shore for a
sample of rods to the north. A speci-
men of the traps here is 1153, north
of this the shales shut the trap and form
the shore just but occasionally as has been
said the trap strikes through and finally
carves the shore line at the point ½ of
a mile south-west of the black finger state
Bay. A specimen of the traps here is 154.
It places the trap in amygdular, the
amygdules elongated so much as to make
stick filled with snow white salts. At
other places the trap includes masses of the
surrounding thin gray shale as much as
10 feet thick. The shales in these coves are
rolled up and close folded without fracture
suggesting their having been included while
still unconsolidated and in the form of
plastic clay.
As has been said before this trap
is shut by some thin gray shales which
form the shore line for nearly a quarter of
a mile about ¼ mile S.W. of Clark's harbor
shore are about 10 feet of these shales
strike N.18°W. dip 70°N, 70°E. The upper
most 10 feet--at the southern end--are
more puffy = 5.47 A. The main mass of
the shales next to the trap and about
20 feet thick is 5.47 B.
