to be identical with 2326 A-B, or at most only immediately below. On the point on the west side of Epps Bay at and just north of the southern boundary of 232. Secure another gath of purple shale striking N. 20 deg W. toward 232.7A and 232.6 A-B. About 15 feet of purple shale are exposed here - also above half tide dipping under the river, and overlying a thin tuffaceous seam (1170). The purple shales contain a few fossils. 232.9 B. On sloping mi north central 2.47.3 is a small ledge of purple shale striking N. 7 deg W. and dipping to the east. No fossils. Head of EAST BAY & LEACH POINT. At the head of East Bay in 2.389. there occurs a series of tuffaceous sediments striking N. 85 deg W. and dipping N. 5 deg at an angle of 41 deg. At the base come (A) 3 ft. light green-gray clay, beds (possibly argillaceous tuffs), above them (B) 5 ft. dark purplish blue massive shale (146) (C) 12 ft. greenish, gray mudstones (argill- aceous tuffs) including a little purplish shale above the middle. (D) Covered for width of 80 feet excepting that at the base are exposed 2 ft. of light thin shales of every dark blue-blackish color. These softer shales probably make up most of the covered shale follows. E1: 2 1/2 ft. green argillaceous beds (same as AVC) E2: 2-3 1/2 ft. purplish-red shales. E3: 1 1/2-2 1/4 ft. purplish sandstones, apparently more bedded. (specimen 1169) E4: 1 ft. purple shale SECTION 309 page 82. LEACH PT. North of Leach Point at the little promontory just north of the middle of 245.6, and in the little cove extending into 2.45.7 secure a fine series of exposures of rhyolite tuffs and purple shales. The section is figured on page 92. The beds strike N. 18 deg W., and dip 35 deg, E. 18 deg N. At the point at the N.W. end of the section are exposed almost 55 feet of tuffs dipping inland. About 100 feet to the south- east, where they may be studied in more detail the section shows as the base (A) 12 feet of greenish gray shales and hard shaly tuffs, perhaps rhyolitic tuff, jogs: a soft layer small lamproa was found in a shale layer. 2496 A. (B) - 6 feet of massive light colored, whitish- grey rhyolitic dust tuffs, with thin 1 inch seams of coarse ashes. No shales in these 6 ft. (C) 8 inches beautifully Candled Purple shale and coarse granular tuffs. this lovely purple love pinholes out in Bas thom 50 ft. (D) 1 ft. coarse massive ash beds, fragments mostly purple rhyolite 3/4 inch thick. This bed is very indurated & conspicuous se- pecially to the S.E. where it thickens to 3 feet and serves to demarcate a sample of fourth of 10 ft. and 5 ft. re- spectively as indicated in the diagram: (E) A thick lens of purple shale (quarry) very almost, about 50 ft. S. of the point where it is about 5 ft. thick and separated by from D by only a few inches of finer tuff. It expands toward the south one is 9 ft. thick 125 ft. south of the Point. Contains only a little fossils generally rare but in places faintly common though much distorted and difficult to extract due to festering fault. # also occurs at Garner Point.
