Lubec Peninsula. July 3, 1907 (Wednesday). along the shore southwest of Lubec Bluffs light there extend for a mile southward from Woodwards Court a series of exposures of massive dark slate slabs with on their imined thin calcareous seams; and in some portions of the slates these have become concretions which have been weathered out leaving empty holes. The slates are metamorphosed shales of a dark blue color which have nearly lost their cleaving planes and which are extremely friable. Most of these fissures extend in one direction, & are frequently very close to gether giving more or less perfect slaty cleavage. Besides this slaty cleavage there are also several series of joint planes; these numerous joint planes traverse the plane & dark color together with the even texture cause the rock to resemble at first sight a massive much jointed trap, and the result cleavage is masked by them. very total absence of bedding planes in the more massive portions. The presence of calcareous seams above the upper edge of the rock which also inflates along more or less distinct banding. (For strike & dip see C.S.B's notes). A search was made for fossils in these slabs to half a mile, as well as in the slate shales. At the southernmost edge a mile south of Woodwards Court occurs but at two traces of fossils result. big fish bones or wood fragments and three or four linear deposits of mineral which may be pseudomorphs of graphite. These workings are C.S.B. No evidence in favor of their fossil character is chiefly the structure strictly parallel to the bedding plane of the rock, and their more or less regular banding. The evidence against the graphite nature of the fossils so called surpass...

"solitary" their occurrence as widely isolated specimens as contrasted with the abundantly O gregious modes of occurrence usual in gneissatics. These slates are cut by a couple of gabbro- dikes, 1073 and 1074. The former is a 15 foot vertical dike, N. 33-35° E., and is separated only by a couple of yards from 1074. A third is also vertical, only 10ft. south, N 38° E., N 30° E. 1073 is much jointed and curiously enough the joints are parallel to the dike's trend N. 53° E. will a few joints of Dikes 1074 also abundant sometimes clearly crossed joints in the 1073 at first sight East the same direction as the cleavage plane but a more detailed trace of readings show a uniform direction of the slaty cleavage (in. the immediate vicinity) to be N. 42-45° East. These two dikes near the edge of the exposures of slate; type near the slaty cleavage is uniform N. 42-45° E., but a couple of hundred yards northwest near the Pata creek in Eastern C. 12. the direction of the clear- age in the slates is N. only 32° E. It is a ridiculous fact that the shales or slates are tabulated for several yards each side of the gabbro indicating either that the gabbros was a better network host than the rhyolite dikes or that the stability was as the time for folding the surfaces. The slaty cleavage is not better developed in close proximity to the gabbro dikes; in fact it is only barely discernible within a couple of yards of the gabbro dikes where the both are now metamorphosed laked were in less solidly. There are also buff and cream colored thick slices of rhyolite porphyry with flow structure well developed parallel to the dikes. Dike dikes weather a ye General color specimens collected by C. S. B. On the west side of dike rock near more exposures of dark blue to nearly black slates which are slightly inclined and which exhibit better slaty cleavage than from the rock south of Wardswards Point. In places these dark slates have been ribboned and are yet thickly void the fingers when banded resembling cork. They contain no poroids - they are associated with massive bodies of gabbro which, in places exhibit well developed vertical selvetics.

The upper 30 or 40 ft. consist of a jumble series of alter- nations of a thin 1 incl. to rarely 2 inel white limestone seam with about a foot of slaty slate. The limestone seems show the true bedding but slaty cleavage is developed to an extreme in the shale as illustrated in figure 3 page 18. Were it not for the calcare- ous seams these beds would appear to dip at a very high angle, 45°-60° instead of only, 14°-20° (3.25 E.), not only did the shales metamorphosed to slate but the calcareous seams are coarsely crystalline & seem to show an in- cipient cone-in-cone structure (quartz dep. with spar). One of the calcreod seams is composed of the indurated beds of Beyrichia's [sketch] (of B. symmetric) with a few Lepidoceras which also occurs in the shales. These fossils are 6.34° 3a .

proposed. It is stated that nothing very definite has been obtained except the fact that the so called slate rarely contains fossils in places and that these appear similar to the Birch Cove beds. The poryphyry(?) cutting cuts across the slates as thickly sills or lowly inclined dikes Fig.1 shows "large dikes cut by slates and a gabbro dike apparently through the rhyolite porphyry also as shown in fig.1.

These porphyries are also in reality in G. 34.6. They dip S.80°-100°N and dip Sutrostones strata not only for the absence of metamorphism but for the presence of large Modiolopsis & Laminibranchia for or on rock layers resembling & to Lingula & some ostracoda remains & to the Sharkford Head Beds. These occurs in the upper half. In the lower half where these occur a few courses of thin fine-grained slates a few smaller Laminibranchia & ostracoda were collected G.34.6. which are apparently the same as those occurring in the Sharkford Head beds of thin slates. The slates are exposed on low cliffs on the south side of the river what so beyond the road exploratory guide, in which series of exposures they exist a low anticlinal & synclinal April 160 yards road 1/4 mile The axis is along the dip in the upper beds a few ostracods were selected - 6.34.6a, roped above G.34.6a. The slates of the G.34.6a series dip under a massive cliff of porphyry which is in places thirty feet thick. The cliff represents a slide on along the slate just a few feet thick occurs another series of slates about 60 feet thick striking S.55°W. and dipping slowly to the south. These rocks are thin grey plates with a couple of fussy layers and in two or three portions several calcareous areas occur close together which appear to be very fossiliferous. A few Lingulae were ob- served in the slates (not collected) these slates are cut by a vertical 3 foot very sharp gabbro dikes which have N. 20°E., and the slates are overlain by a light gray colored flow of tuff and lava showing beautiful flow lines and several quincunxial seams parallel to the flow lines. Here light gray fine grained lava is 1004 feet as similar to the light gray tuff above the north end of Sharkford Head Cape. Also lava 1084 appears to conformably overly the slates. "A closer examination shows that this lava is a very solid blacky grey slab which has been looked at. Its taking extends for me 30 feet thick but is not accompan- ed by slate slabs. The slab itself is cut by a thin gabbro dikes which spreads into a sill a few feet thick. The upper slates are followed by a small mass of porphyry which in turn follows along the slope by a gigantic mass of gabbro which forms the high bluff"

3. 34. 6. This gabbro is very coarse and in word of the mass strongly amygdaloidal. It is a narrow by a little patch of very much baked shale about 5 or 6 feet thick. This baked shale is filled throughout with large unstratified & light colored laminated bands nearly 2 inches wide generally, and with few stratae of much the same like footpath. This famous 6.33-4a occurs foot due west of the south end of Weyors Island in the shale along right side. The famous is "p", presently the same as the Clearfield shed series, also 6. 34. 6 a. The shale here is only a gabbro dome and appear to have general dips. Three beds with very large lamellabranche reappear further north along the shore a little north of west of the north end of Kodgers Island. The shale here appear to be over 50 feet thick as much baked & brecciated in places and are broken up into blocks of a couple of rods. Except the different streaks striking & dipping in different directions (more horizontal). The cause of the brecking appears to be a large gabbro mass forming the country a few yards west of the shore. This is also of sediment washed b. This patch of sed- imment may be traced somewhat eastly across the road where some good laminabranche may be found in the west side of road just on the right side a cottage f. This patch is love distinctly too to flank the top of a dome of gabbro, and the gable marked "f" (sketch map) similar flanks a dome of gabbro.

July 10, 1907 North Lubec Ferry northward. From the ferry wharf northward the gabbro skirts the entire shore as far as Reynolds Cove except for a small area of extremely baked sediment not more than a couple of feet thick merging with few dome of gabbro giving just at 1/4 south of the southern point in rather 6.34.3. The twenty track of the shore along this stretch as far as Reynolds Cove is low lying & may possibly be underlain by sediment although the gabbro veins all along the shore as far as Reynolds Cove Point. Rounding Reynolds Cove Point which is a mass of gabbro (=1085) we cross suddenly upon a mass of limestone while gas under the gabbro and which form a cliff 15 feet high. These are calcareous lensels from 1 to 3 inches thick inter- stratified with bands of equal thickness of more grayish limestone. These are hardly more than a couple of miles of them slaty parting in the entire section.

Its limestone contains in places many ostracods - one or two specimens collected = 6.24.9a. The little ridge on the boundary to west 6.24.5 & 7 is a gray dike of a fluffy gray rock which is amorphous and (Porphyritic) in rare spots. This dike 1886 bears N. 20° W. Newark Dip 36° NE. The ridge immediately west of this is composed of pumice concretions limestone with holes at the top. The concretion bands are modular and end up by thick massive shrinkage cracks which have been filled in with gray calcareous mud dams of the beds are mostly masses of concretions 1 to 2 inches thick. The rock is the gray limestone crystalline in places but generally fine grained and containing ostracods scattered through and % or so fairly clustered within with an occasional Zygurita = 3.24.Pa. The limestone bands are 1 to 3 inches thick with fettings of thin shale, generally half an inch thick or less. 18 feet of close concretionary limestone ends and are followed by 4 feet of thin fine-grained in 1 to 3 foot masses with 1/2" to 2" cal- careous seams. Its shale relief is quite clearly a cleavage or rather fragmentation anterior to that of 6.29.Pa. 6N13° The rocks strike due west and dip 22° to the east. The principal joint in central 6.24.P shown on this map is a series of lime- stones which are cut at the surface by a thick 10 foot gabbro dike "dike A" is massive rock unders level under the limestone & appears to be the top edge of a high steep dome. This dike ex-tends N.30° E following along the tops of the argine limestones are seen to strike N 10-15° west & passing north-westernly along the cape the line of strike trends around toward the mid side of Cooper Island or N 45° W. The dip is steward 20°, or from east to north- east. About 40 feet of these limestones are exposed on the east side of the point and containing ostracods (Argyriosa) with a rare Zygurita & very rare trigula = 6.24.Pa. This forms at about 50 feet stratigraphically below 6.24.Bd. The beds of 6.24.Bd - Bd underlie in the former about 40 feet of limestone, top of about 30 feet and then 1 foot of 6.24.Pa or a total of 90 feet of sediments (limestones, including the creek gap).

and dip N. 25° E. about 20° base Limestone occurs by a thin one foot to two foot and dips of a very light color and which is amygdala tized in places. This dike =1087 first and forks in nearly all directions. Within not far 15 feet of the gallo dike, the acid dikes fork but the forks do not pass through the gallo nor as they parallel in the other (S.E.) side of the gallo. Between elzabeta and the acid there is a thinned limestone gap of 10 feet which is not penetrated at the surface by the and so that it is impossible to ascertain here whether the and intrudes the gallo or vice versa. The gallo however distinctly cuts across the path of the and. On the east side of the little core of the head of the promontory in 6-24-5 there occurs a two foot vein (C) of dark gray nearly blackish coarse grounded rock which effervesces strongly under acid. It is markedly different from the surrounding limestones in texture & durability besides green color and appears to be a volcanic sill. It is annularly subhorizontal vertically, and with fine angular porphyryte in the lower 6 inches. This rock 1088 is most distinctly cut through by THE and schistone 1087. (See map). The western point forming the promontory in 6-24-5 is composed of the porphyry 1089. This porphyry has a very light gray magma and in places has few phenocrysts. One such specimen is 1090, without phenocrysts. THE PORPHYRY IS DISTINCTLY CUT BY! AND INCLUDES A 2-6 FOOT GABBRO DIKE which is almost entirely amygdala tized (amydulas less than 1/8 inch and which also has a few scattered felspars rather 1 to 2 centimeters long. The dike 1091 is nearly vertical and bears in general N.55° W. The porphyry, in 50 feet wide and on the gabbro side (forward) for a couple of feet along the contact becomes finely amygdaloidal losing the porphyritic character. This contact porphyry is 1090 B and recept for the normal amydulas is similar to 1090. The limestone on the west of the contact is intensely brecciated for a couple of feet. The and porphyry is opposite the main body from which THE dike 1088 was shot off: The limestones to the east are thick bedded with strike N.5°-W. dip N.E. with angular beds, & large masses within the porphyry about 20°. They are cut by a normal gallo dikes in the little creek and to the west of this dikes there is done with general varied dips varying from striking N.S. & west dips to strike N. 80° W. and dips N.30 and dipping N.60° S. These limestones include massive 3 foot layer of coarse grounded dark effervescent rock with obtrusive structure similar to and apparently the same as 1088, which appears to rise over the core of porphyry & this continuous with 1088.

Following the same line for the straight section, standing from 6.24.8 into 6.24.7 we find a basin of limestone with, on average, dips, the strike in the southerly portion being read with north dips and the strike swinging around to nearly North (N 15°W) and with east dips of 15 to 30°. These limestones are cut by 3 dikes of galto. The northernmost dike illustrates beautifully folding & siling. The limestone at this point were apparently once buried for limestone as the stratum from old lime hills. The average strike is N 60° W with dips of 22° to the N. Not more than 15 ft. of limestones are exposed, the strike line nearly conforming with the strike. The limestones are abundant shrinkage marked and one or two layers show nummulites. In the little cove sit the middle of 6.24.7 occurs a mixture of acid and basic volcanics, ash 1092, lava 1093, relations not ascertainable. On the west side occurs a granite sill. a couple of feet thick 1094 and in the limestones, the granites cut by a basic (galto) dike of of the same layer rock as 1096, 1093. There is apparently a fault line as shales are brought up on the south- north side of the lake. The shale forms the west shore of the little cove as far as the point of the main shore. In this shore occurs a little cliff of shale striking N 60° E and dipping only 6° to the west. The shale dips under a galbo sill - the sedimentary layer in- clude is to 15 feet of very flat clay shales with extremely flattened lay clearage, in calcareous matter in the lake. These follow 420 feet of unusual clay folded shales closely under the lakes. In the thin shattered lower shale a single Craticorad (Bayreuths. large) leaf from a centimetre long was found, also a single Camellibrual of Pterines densurus - these slates may be more fossiliferous but are so stretched to show any other fossils. The upper massive upper shales contain several Bayreuth species and a Trifolium (few spined) gastropod 6.24.7 B. The lower shale two fossils are 6.24.7 A - D. Thursday, July 11, '07. In the cove as the S.W. corner of sect 3, west of Birch Pt., some faded sediments appear on the east side these are green gray calcareous lods coursely rolled in stone. The beds strike N 80° W and dip to the north at a very low angle - 6 to 10° they may possibly be volcanic flows. They lie to the south to north of the base of these of the sand forest of Birch Pt. in 3. 51.7) their sedimentary beds, 1091, also crops out south side of bar at its right side. These beds dip under a massive trap or fine galbo 1097 which contains a vertical veins of chunks of pink syenite 1096A while the same vein if followed along for 40 or 50 paces as seen to turn into a green episode or olvin. 1096 B Continuing along the shore the rock 1091 is seen to a basin of rather princesses cleavate shales, the shale & unloos rock N 34° 2.57° N and the eastern joint of 2:55.

At the contact the flow lines strike either an alteration or an injection of light salmon quick clay slates in 1098 which passes upward a few feet into a dark gray trap rock like porphyry with a few distinct minute feldspar phenocrysts, and these trap-like porphyry finally grade into the normal flow basalt. The contact with the massive columnar gabbro or trap seems the Dunsterville fault as the limestone lies of the gabbro-trap slabs abruptly against 1098 and there is a little tiny marshy river along this line. The sediments strike N. 80° W. and dip 20° to the north. The rocks exposed are from above downward: - 2 feet of banded limestone - 1 ft. shale gray scattered - 2 ft. Limestone (?) The limestones are rounded and similar to those of the Reynolds Cave limestone series. A sample in 1098. The gabbro overlying is a sill or very few strike of rock sin—later to 1071, and is 100 ft. rather fine grained. It covers up between the fault of limestone 1099 and the labeled shale cakes. Some seams of 2-55-8a as a dike are a couple of hundred feet thick. 2-55-8a is a series of beds of very lakes massive shale & pipe-stone like layers with thin seams of white weathering dolomite, etc.!! Limestone. These rocks strike N. 80° W. and dip 26° to the N. 10° E. Clay contain Foraminifera in the white dolomite type seams also in the grayish beds and a few ostracods. The rocks & fossils are the same as the Birch Point Beds and overly (apparently) unless a fault intervenes in the beds are highly disordered the limestones of 1074. The reason for the assumption that 2-55-8a perhaps the Reynolds Cave? Limestone, 1079 is the fact that both strike nearly east & west and the fossiliferous beds vent little north of the limestone. Sketch map of 2-55-8 includes 23 feet of sediments similar to 2-55-8a & the Birch Point bedges. The rocks are light colored fine stone like bands with thin seams of white dolomite and Forams, Liperdits and ostracods extremely abundant in seams. Strike N. 80° west (same as 1099 V 2-55-8a) dip 26° North. A narrow strip of shales is separated on the southeast by a fractured fault plane bearing N. 70° E. These shales are vertical or nearly so and are not looked at the contact with the fault. There are 10 m 15 feet of bituminous shale in this width.

Tuesday, July 16, 1907 BIRCH POINT Passing along the east side of Birch Point northward we find the basic tuffs along 3:51.8 followed by a ginnaceous coarse trap or gabro gelose which lies buried through some flags & shales taking the latter zonolith. About 12 feet of gray shales & thin bedded lags are posed nearly horizontally along a low beds cliff to the north base of the hill along the boundary between 3:51.5 (s.w. corner, including all the s.w. rocks) and 3:51.4 (s.e. corner).

July 16, 1877 W of Birch Point and a quarter of a mile southeast of Oak Hill (i.e., Clement Pt. of map) on a road about one hundred yards north west of 255.8 B begins a series of exposures connecting in the southeast of an isolated patch K of gray calcareous beds, flags and gray chales about 10 to 50 ft.

The rocks consists of light gray (steel colored) greenish limestone lands 1/4 to 1 miles thick separated by 1 to 5 inches of gray shale or thin flags. In a couple of places also are some good 3" to 4" flags. The rapid alternation of lim estone seams and flaggy or flag-shale seams is clearly evident. The beds contain an occasional scattered spir- iferina = 255.8 K and in some of the flaggy shale seams of Canellibrancha. These beds crop out entirely within the work of Mr. Shaw. A few rods to the northwest begins a series of red and gray shales consisting of at the foot of gray thin-shale (a). 10 feet of red shale. (b). 4 feet of shircher bedded gray/red-gray mottled shales. These latter exhibit an anticlinal structure which was noted and figured by Prof. Staker, but the anticline is really a little generally done with the line of strike, swinging around from N.25°E. on the southern side [dip N.65°E. 41°] to 75.75° W on the north- west end and dip of 45-50°. N.15°W. The beds (c) are coarse, flaggy, red, and any network structure in a few places containing a thin calcar- aceous seam 1/2 on mid. thick and in the upper third occur interstitial 1st 2 or 3 [illegible] tuffa 2 to 5 inches thick and separated by 1 to 5 inches of shale. These tuffs are 116 (the middle seam). Fossils occur in the lower stratified shales in the chales just above = 2.55.8 B #. These fossils are Lepidoptera and ostracods, [Beyrichia], no Lingula & no Canellibrancha. The fossils occur in several seams through out the lot feet of (C). The rocks (c) dip under 2.55.8 K where latter is directly resting on a faulty intervene which appears insoluble. The beds (d) in 9 feet of red shale consist of sandy thin shales and network tuffs varying from a delight brick red to a darker purplish red with a few 1 inch thick seams of sandier or flaggy shale. No fossils. The 14 feet (a) consists of light greenish gray network shales, or tuffs with some gray flags & some thin veins calcareous seams with a couple 7/8 inch calcareous flags. Fossils only occasional seams of [illegible] 22.55.8 A # # Wrt 2.55.8 N B, 40-41. 32, 31. The fossils in area H are connected to 2.55.8 A & B 6 miles broadside but not at the same latitude.

On the east side of the bay the basic tuffs are seen projecting through the red shales which are entirely crumpled & while also folding. On the north side of the little cove appears another zone of sedimentary perhaps 50 yards long with the S.E. end striking N.32 O W and the N.W. and strik- ing W.70 N, the change in strike is gradual. The dip is 28 O Direction N.53 O E. On the S.E. end, north on the N.W. end The rocks consist from below upward of: (a) 1 foot of light greenish gray flaggy shales with dark shales with thin slaty flags all thin bedded & hard.

On the south side of Redoubt Hill at 3.55.7 secures an ex-posure of nearly flat shale about 15 feet thick, striking east and to west, dipping about 10° to the north. The shales are red or purplish red, tough sandy, and with a couple of layers 8-10 inches thick of gray sandy shale or tenuously flag. A search in our quarry revealed only a small fragment of a blank of Gorpost lie shell. Apparently a single specimen, possibly a Speridites. The shales are overlain by a glauconiferous sandstone rock with purplish spots, probably a siliceous gneiss or schist when selected. Thursday, July 25, 1907. Schooner Cove. On both sides of the fence across in S.W. corner of F.3.9 secures the top of a thick mass of very variable tuffs or lava of which a couple of specimens are 1128 B. The rock is in places columnar-jointed, the beds dipping at an angle of 20-45°, N. 60° E., but for the most part bedding is not discernible. In places columnar structure is fairly distinct. The stone varies from light gray uniform-textured rocks to rocks containing rounded and angular masses of alabaster weathering white; the rhyolite masses vary from size of a pea to 5 or 6 inches thick. In other places there are inclusions of dark nearly black mineral. Just west of the little creek stream at S.E. F.3.9, the tuff assumes the character of an augitic-lobal breccia with jasolite (Phyllosilicate) inclusions. Specimens 1124, 1125. Blue Breccia is very variable in size from a distance of 2 feet to massive or very massive rock. W.I.W. corner F.3.9 (Just west of lane 7 drift Boulder was picked up containing gastropod impressions.) The section continued from the little creek weathered tuffs that 1124 and 1125 are tuffs similar to those occurring near Bird Point. These tuffs are 40 or 50 feet thick, strike N. 50° W., and dip N. 60° E at angles of 20-45°. The rock like that noted at Bird Point consists of gray fine grained sandstone-like glass with planes 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick of daily breccia similar to 1125.

Aug. 16 1897 At the upper Dam on Little River situated in the extreme N.E. corner of 2.25. S., a fine exposure of flaggy shales is found in a 22 foot cliff. The purple oolite strikes N. 40-50 W x S.E. and dips approximately 20-30 to the Northeast. The shale for the most part is very crumbly; in the lower part a little more massive. Fossils are extremely rare except for single scam a couple of nuculae which where the purple shale contains a few cast and small Nodops and lamelli- Bromea, a few Leporidja and no or- casional Lingula 2.25. 8a 2255 With regard to the green relations, it may be stated that on the S.E. bank of the creek below the dam consists in tirely of the purple shales whereas on the northwest bank there is exposed low down near the creek bed a mass of hard grey trap directly in line of strike near the red shale on the opposite twin and suggesting a joint.

"Richwood: A couple of fragments of such a large specimen were collected by the species in general smaller, but layers quite rapidly. The Rhynchonellae are especially common near the seam of laked shale at the top, with curvata and a few Dalmanellas. Below the shales of 5.3.8 ft. And grading up to the latter lies an irregular mass of tuff-breccia which varies in thickness from 12 feet to about 3 feet in the space of about 30 yards. The nature consists of a Christywood lithologically similar to the black clay mud of the shales at measure and imbedded. In these are scattered small pebbles, generally angular fragments weathered into cream state, of rhyolite, and occasionally larger fragments as much as 1 inches to 5 inches thick of dark rhyolite glass. There are also fragments with a thin crust of the gray, but white or buff colored rhyolite similar to that of north Lick, and also large concretions 5 or 6 inches thick. Usually there were not found occasionally pieces of black shale, few inches thick containing Dalmanella, Actinoptera similar to the surrounding immediately underlying shales. In fossils are found on the tuff proper, but in the overlying shales 5.3.8 ft. Fossils occur in the patches of shale which contain ash fragments, locally as well as in the pure shales. The tuff is very variable from joint to joint. A band of grey -new 133 has very few ash-pockets or cinders and looks almost like blue shale. Below the massive tuff-breccia 1/33 there follow 14 feet of thin black shales, somewhat laked and alternating with glassy rhyolitic flags and a couple of 2 inch conglomerate breccias, the latter commoner near the top. The rhyolitic flags are 1" to 1 1/4 thick and two inches or eight inches thicker. This thicker flag displays the interesting phenomenon of being under (or gummery) at the bottom for an inch and a half and then grading upward into the typical dark grey glassy rhyolitic rock, which is not generally frother hardened and somewhat freemally due to the volcanic activity in the neighborhood.

Below the 13 feet of argillaceous and flaggy lags occur 6 feet of darker colored tuff, gray, tuffa with a couple of 5 inch flags of glassy argillaceous thin shale. Beds are darker colored or still more argil lacous than those above as well as below. The latter include 14 feet of finely layered flags of glassy argillaceous dust of a light gray color similar to 1/35-736. A specimen is 1/37. Three flags are generally about 2 inches thick and contain occasional linear to 1/2" seams of tuff. In all the tuff series of this rocks in 1/37-1/35 the specimens are generally minute, less than the size of pea angular or other substance. Below a very much argillaceous bed of the type of argillaceous dust flags occur 3 inches of fissile papery shale which is of a rich olive brown green color as fossils. Next below are 3 feet of purplish gritty shale, flags are rather thin beds of a dark gray color weathering dull purplish. The fossils except a seam at the base which contains an occasional Rhynchonella of forma = 5/38 O. Next below 5/380 are 2 feet of rapid alternations of half red seams of fissile tuff with 1 to 2 inches of purplish flags, given then below follows in succession 4/6 inches hard massive argillaceous flags with a few linear tuff seams then 2 inches fissile papery sandy shale. Then 3 inches hard argillaceous flags with a couple of tuff seams partly seams then a foot candy papery flaggy thin shale; then 18 inches of 3 inch flags with 1/4 inch tuff between in the middle; then 5 inches of fissile papery sandy shale olive brown with net work structure. Then a foot of flags similar to those just above. Next below are 11 feet of thin paper green shales & tuff breccia seams with in the middle, a foot beds half of them 1/2 to 3 inch flags & 1/4 inch tuff breccia seams. This band of flags contains some fossils, Rhynchonella and Astropotrella and they are too small preserved to be recognizable. The shales are finely laminated and eight of an inch thick or less and are of a dirty greenish color. Are very frequently there occur linear seams with small angular fragments pink or white fold apart the size of pea. Below these thin green shales & red flags land are 18 feet of argillaceous glassy flags generally about 5 inches thick. Just below the middle there is a massive 2 foot layer of tuff breccia. There are also a couple of getting seams 2 inch and 3/4 inch of olive brown candy papery shales and a 5 inch seam in the middle. A specimen of the massive white tuff breccia is 1/38 where there seems at the base a foot and a half of alternations of thin papery sandy olive shale with flag 1/2 to 3 inch flaggy bands is possible.

This gabbro resembles a dark granite. The feldspar is well developed purple.—The width of outcrop is about 50 feet. The gabbro appears to be a sill with general inclination similar to the lying sediments. About 20 feet of the massive entirely unbedded triff or volcanic ash seems to lie west of the gabbro similar to that to the east. A specimen is 1142.

The rock is a massive coarse grained dark gray sand- stone with hardly discernible beddingplanes but breaking into large splintery slabs one foot to 4 feet long and several bundles thick these splinters are elongated somewhat in the di- drection of the dip. There are several calcareous seams or large lumps in places over an inch thick and composed of a mass of shells.

Several other species also containing occasional Grammysia cingulata Heronitella retrotecta & Actinoptarella bardeae Concellibarnela. 5:2.9 B immediately overlies 5:2.9c which includes 8/2 feet of splintery, fine grained sand- stone and limestone which contains presently the same fauna as 5:2.9 B, chiefly Dalmanella, Rhynch- onella and Chonetes. Below 5:2.9 C there is a covered strip of beach about 18 feet wide then there outcrop 18 miles of dark purplish rhyolitic sandstone=11\deg B which contains a rare Chonetes denysii (not collected) and a Dalmanella=5:2.9 D. Below 11\deg B-5:2.9 D is 3 feet of greenish gray fine grained treme- natured and very covered specimens 11\deg T. Next below are 4 feet of light purple massive rhyolite mills having an argillaceous pel texture. There are no bedding planes in fossils there are abundant spotted spots, and in weathering there are eaten out cavities 1/2 to 1/mq thick. The rock is 11\deg B. 67

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. Thursday Aug 8 1907 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.

Hyolithes or a fish spine - 547B. The 20 feet of shales of 5.4.7.B are less friable than those of B and with a judson- mannue of gray rather blue-gray olive color. They agree in the thinness and in general nature as well as in being splintery. The last named character is rather vari- able in places faintly discernable holes in places the splinting develops almost into flat cleavage. Typical network occurs in spots in the shales, the development of vertical replanturing, or of normal beds while dependence appears to depend on the proximity of the trap. Fossils are frequently very scarce in most places throughout the shale except for a few linear seams, which contain great numbers of fossil chiefly little ostracods (Bumella? Beyrichia?) and crink joints with a few tentaculites and camarotoechia. And some contain great numbers of Chonetes donysii but only a single specimen was found in the shale situated this seam after several hours search.

There is quite a thickness of shale exposed, the edge of the shale chipping out for a linear dis- tance of 140 feet along the ground normal to strike complete thickness (sin 60 x 140 ft.) and this is only a small portion of the total amount of shales which appears to be covered.

Friday, Aug. 9, 1907. Cobocook Falls. (Sketch see page 73) Falls/4th. At the south end of the large penin- sula well beyond Long Cove and Long Cove there occur on the mainland side of Cobocook Falls a large mass of gabbro which forms the backbone of the west face of the peninsula. A hundred yards west of Cobocook Falls occurs a little series of exposures of shale and rhyolite dust flaps. The lowest beds exposed include 6 feet of fine indurated shale, massive undulated and with network cracks devel- opcd in places. The beds strike N. 22° W. and dip at an angle of 43°, N. 63° E. Fossils are occasional in the blue shales where occasionally a little Lingula (rare), Orbiculoidea outside, Pseudomonticulata, crumpled joints, small mont-type? trilobites.

"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.

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.

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.

These coarse sandstones (2 ft thick) nearly Evein feldsparine nephritic beds and similarly some thin shales; in the latter a few minutes search failed to reveal any fossils. About 75 yards N.W. of 5.1.8 A. and about 250 yards N.W. of the Confl. there occurs a fault trending N. 45° E. whereby the shales underlying 5.1.8 B abut against Glassy Rhyolitic tuffs containing fossils. These tuffs are the same layers that underlie 5.1.8 B.; the uppermost is in the N.W. side and appears to be about 20 ft. For exposure, a scale ner soft thick includes a cliff of glassy Rhyolitic dust flops, dark colored, of a grayish and a dark blue color and containing fossils in abundance as several Calcareous shams = 5.1.8 B. A 5" calcareous seam with numerous numbers of ?Pentacrinus? ?Potyichismis? and a few Lamellibranchs (Goniom myia, radiiceps?) is a conspicuous feature. A few smaller 5.1.8 B's underlie the same feature in somewhat slaly portions.

The strike of 5.1.8 B, B² C as N.35° W gradually ranging around in the course of 100 yards N.W. so that at the junction of 5.1.4, 5,7,8 the strike is N. 40° W. The dip is 20° N.E. In the little rose in the extreme S.W corner of 5.1.5 a couple of 1 foot shales of blue clayey shale crop out in tall grass. Strike N. 40° W / dip slight (perhaps 15°) to the N.E. About 100 yards to the northwest there occurs in the S.E. part of 5.1.4 a long cliff of dark blue glassy thick Rhyolitic dust in 8 to 10 inch slate separated by thin or thick seams of thin gray shale or thin coarse grained tuffs, with feldspar of phenocrysts - there are also some gray Rhyolitic shales.

One of these layers is a 5 inch limestone or rather calcareous sand full of Platyssoma album and as the saline layer noted p. 38 under 5.1.8 B. Proceeding upward and downward in this section, after a covered gap 70 yards wide we come to a promontory of hard fine grained Rhyolitic tuffs which project on a long ledge striking N.40° W. and including a little wooded island a couple of hundred yards S.E. of the above at high water. 18 ft. of hard glassy Rhyolitic fine grained tuffs appear dipping N.50° E. at an angle of 22°. The rocks are thick beds two feet or more, thick in the upper part with frequent inclusions of 2 inch bands of coarse grained layers bearing feldspars.

The lower list of the ex- posers includes fine grained leds, generally less than a foot thick of black glassy rhyolite tuff with, near the base a few partings of gray slate a couple of inches thick. In the thick bedded layers on the west side of the prom- ontory a fossiliferous zone near the middle of the ledge contains some fine rayed small Actinoptarella in albus- dance with a rare Phylecnelolla - 5 1/4 A. These rhyolites are underlain by a series of gray thin shales and blue shales several ledges of which crop out in a little mud covered oval about 40 yards wide.

This is now owned by a Mr. Fitzgerald and is situated in the S.W. corner of 2-53-7, the N.E. corner of 2-52-9, the N.W. corner of 5-2-1 and the N.E. corner of 5-2-3. The slabs strike W. 80° S. and dip at an angle of 45° N. and are interlaid by a large mass of gallo of intermediate texture forming Kelley Point, north of this galbo the slabs appear to have been measured for a length of 570 feet along the beach exposing thicknesses of __ ft. for this portion of the series. The rocks are fairly uniform bluish gray shales, splintering readily in places nearly every slaty and also showing several leucocratic seams, together with thick layers full of fossils, of very exceptional character. The section is 5-2-3, 7 C and includes Chonetes denysii abundant Camarotoechia rare except in a couple of seams where it is abundant. Lingula (flattened small) rare Orbiculoida rare Actinopterella common Crammysia impulata common (large) occasional Nuculites rare Large Modiolopsoids common in clumps Murchisonia common in clumps Tenuaculites M. sp.? rare Cornulites rare Bostrichia common Dalmanites rare Calymene " Fish spine occasional Orthoceras rare. This mass of shales includes a little patch of galbo which appears to project my through the shales from an underlying stock. A specimen is 172. It is of the same texture as the main galbo mass of Kelley Point, but is only a few feet yards broad. The shales 2-53-7 C are also cut by a narrow 2 foot rhyolitic porphyry field (spar plagioclase) of whiteish gray color somewhat similar to that of "Lake 160" rhyolite porphyry dikes strike N. 80° W. The main mass of galbo south of the north spur of Kelley Point is replaced by about 125 feet of shales, bluish blue gray, striking N. 80°-90° W. dipping 45° to the N. These shales are different than those including 2-53-7 C, as is proved by the occurrence of some tuffs, after the galbo (tuffs are absent in the upper patch of shale). These tuffs include an interlaid 3 ft. bank of gray rhyolite glass with feldspar phenocrysts. Specimen 117A. One of it is 6 ft. of shales with frequent layers containing an abundance of wood consisting largely of feldspar phenocrysts. The feldspar seams are frequently stained to blacken from 0 to 2 inches in the space of a few feet and are more closely crowded together thicker at the base immediately merging 117A. A specimen is
