"speciatas" and "cabite" revised but the fault is apparently slight as similar shales and fossils are found upon both the north and south sides. The south side appears [illegible] apparently only 50 feet apart and appears to date at all later Lpa, only 10°-15° (consistently dipping east, north, southwest?) The fossils of S.15. B are of interest as being a reoccurrence at a lower horizon (???) same horizon repeated by fault ???) of the geostroph zone of the upper beds of Selborne Cove. "Platystrima" macrourus (same as at Selborne Cove) common common Diorbis large lamellibrancha orea. Strike N. 45° W, dip 12° W.E. The Bellerglams & Jurshelones found in Selborne Cove have not been observed. Below S.15. B are 4 feet of indurated light gray, fine grained argillaceous cal- cite tuffa overlying. S.15.C. 2 feet of coarse gray sandy slate breaking with splintery large shingle (concentrated sanding zone) and leaving same Platystrima as in B. Below S.15.C are 2 feet of light greenish gray, argolitic dust tuffs, splintery and without bedding; and under this there are 2 feet of massive, rounded dark blue glassy argolitic tuffa Strike N. 45° W Dip 14° W.E. The tuffa underlying S.15.C also in another fault plane extending east and west. On the south side of this fault appear some blue splintery shales, S.15.D, strike- nup N. 5° E. and dipping west at an angle of 20°. They contain large lamellibrancha and Platystrima = S.15.D. Blue patch of slate is small, only 2 S.15.E couple of rods long and is limited in the south by a little fault which bears N. 53° W. and throws up some coarse grained (green- tone) tuffa = S.15.F. The shales next this fault are S.15.D. Platystrima and large lamellibrancha found resembling calo- silicates & generally S.3-8 C at Selborne Cove. 1161 is a feldspathic very coarse grained tuffa but without clombs (?) of any sort, 5 ft thick; and is underlain by a thick series of light greenish gray, fine grained tuffa in thick strata, occasionally banded and some- times with 1 inch seams of amygd- oidal felsporite, or, if, well seams of feldspathic coarse grained tuffa. Calcispermulosus and thin laminar seams fragment. Strike N. 40° W. Dip 20° N. 50° E. Specimens 1162, 1163. Thursday, Aug. 15, '07. Fine grained tuffa continues (without faults) to the point in this cut. On the point the thick lydite flags strike east and north and dip 15° to the N. On the west side of the point there are con- spicuous off shore like blocks of sandstone, sandstone tuffa, and glassy rhyolitic flags ranging parallel tilted slate and extending out for 100 yds. or more. 175 yds north of west of the Point, the innermost bed is fossil bearing, though very poorly so. The sandstone strikes N. 60° W., dips 18° N. 20° E. breaks into large massive splinters (of deep Cove and S.15.C.-) repetition of S.15-C fault?) and contains (S.18 & B.) schisma Platystrima (rare) Lago Mediolagus (flangusta) occasional "(y-todon, 26.)"
