Base cliffs complete to Alma Inlet, (Perry) Point occur in fields & the N.W. sides the barn nears purple streaks near it to the east of 'the [illegible] stone to the same purple streak appears. Base cliffs somewhat bare of pink, middle of 28'green-purple matrix strikes at the purple streaks at the base just east of the few corners on a fault extending N.S.E. and is partly a couple of feet of gray shale overlain by purple streak in an offset shut against purple streak stuff, in the next bed, 30 fts., S. side east of the fault strikes N. 35°E. dip N.W. at large angles 60-80°. A clean seam runs across that the supposed fault is not a fault but a little opened gap and flat theuffs at the next side (of the fault) have the same struck dip, strike W. 37°E. dip N.W. 70° ±. One hundred yards to the west means a white ledge of purple shale with topal of gray shale including striking N. and dipping east in the eastern fault and striking N. 30° E. Y dipping N.E. almost as flat again at the end on an offset not measured (not collected).
At the little bend this steep basal island winds Y and so also above it the next sand with brown purple streaks striking N. 36° W. and dipping to the N.E. At an angle of 24°. In the southwest of the land seems a calcareous seam with distinct & flat-sedimentary just collected and on the island center for [illegible] (fragmented not collected). Northwest Well strikes to the little point along this north edge. (2:43).
The purple beds strike N 38° W dip at about 45 to the N.E. also southern normal seams with Patalosclerene lost & collected.

In this little zone divide the two small points w. S. 2:43! striking as a fault & land of greenish gray sandy calcite striking N.W. W dipping 58°N.E. beds at land on the east tip of the S.western point is a calacareous form of the red streaks with an alternate for [illegible] (not collected).

Perry Series - Herapy Point.
On the west shore of Herapy Point beginning at the east edge 2:437 and following [illegible] are a series of conglomerates with 2-3 pebbles, many a foot for more thick all rounded and in nature embedded on a red shale matrix but complex crust is massive has a couple of fine shale seams in the upper portion show a strike of E. W. and heavy dip to the south 60° almost N.W. I cannot write appears the conglomerates are also made under a series of black red massive shales showing frequent overruns of thin conglomerate seams N.S. to E.W. struck in lower 103 ± & or 20.
A shale for found forming a couple of feet was broken off for finding a couple of loose specimens of shale - few fossils, bearing, namely others on the shale west of Perry (see p. 1-2).
conglomerate
The pebbles in the conglomerates are most exclusively shaly & with only few small pebbles of red altered quartz above the complete collection of rocks found mostly nearly glassy purple green dull shiny fine gray argilite and many purples pink clay objects to find, pebbles and many purples pink clay objects combined with some structure that may be [illegible] fossils are granite, also apparently granite.
