stratified agglomerate, [illegible] buff, with much conglonmerate, strike N. 50° W., and dip N. 3°, these strata resemble those preceding white (the fault plane) in 1, 2, 6., and evidently corresponds gray fragments. [illegible] The hill on the boundary line between 4, 3, and 4, 4, as composed mainly of a very fragmental breccia, generally glassy objects (a my rock) largely colored by the very closely intermingled largely mica schist for [illegible]. The base of this rock is well observed on the point in 4, 4 at the northeast corner of the area. It not here is a rounded myophyll glass, the bedding extending in a general northwest and dip direction ranging from N. 40° W. to N. 68° W., and dipping N. E. about 45°. In the middle of the area on the boundary between 4, 4, 4–7–7-8 occur more fragmental beds, dark purplish fragment in a matrix of greenish gray to purplish green colors. On the east side of this area the gneissosity in 4, 4, 1 containing the two lowermost ten yards (a continuous agglomerate (breccia)) containing large fragments, bruchies, dark pinkish objects in a purplish green magma. On the S.W. side of this gneissosity there occur under thin as brown triff, about 5 feet of stratified slabby triff, the upper half redical purple, the middle dark purplish blue and the lower third bottle green. Strike N. 30° W., dip north around concentric gashes. [illegible] Spawning of the red slate triff 120°. These slabs triff are almost buried in the trough slightly a triff 35° on the east side of the point there occur underneath the portion X feet thick triffs (included as not visible) come based blue and bluish gray glassy triff, generally not fragmental, but cleaning up fragmental toward the S.E. (a lava down). In the small area of this area on the boundary between 4, 4, 5 and 4, 4, 8., a fault of the 3 foot rounding under more rounded purplish glasses, the bedding extending N. 80° W. and dipping about 25°. In the northeast corner of 4, 4, 9 (between the 3 ft. rounding in 4, 4, 5 and the 2 foot rounding in 4, 4, 9, slightly nearin the latter) occur a fine anticline with the axis extending N. 48° E., and as dipping quite strongly in that direction. Trace of this anticline also appears on the opposite shore at the point opposite the lot and 2 foot rounding in 4, 4, 6. This rock throughout the red slabby triff which is so attractive as it appears to be naturally reddish in glass, has the red bedding strike N. 60° W., and dip N. 5° E. (about 30°) at the N.W. side this red clay with a series of dark purplish, a fragment glassy generally sandfly and not fragmental until colors are exposed on the east of the red ridge in section 4, 4, 9., and two small [illegible] foot rounding near the triff contain large angular fragments nearly white glass and bedding and a dark purplish smooth clay matrix, which seems to indicate strike S. E. (strike N. 30° W., dip 20° E. [illegible] Just north of the angle formed by the red ridge under a 5-1/2 foot gash in a narrow zone N. 35° W. = 120°. The red large is formed a compact glass with folages rather [illegible]. The purplish and field-gather lightlets like on finely laminate series of the laminae readily cleave direction N. 5° W., dip east 45-60°. The rock continues to the head of the cave in the S.E. corner of 4, 4, 9, producing massive overhanging cliffs. On the east side of the cave the same rock continue [illegible] However, striking N. 40° W., and dipping 25° N.E., stratified our glassy are less well developed near. Roundin the point north 4, 5, 9 → the west edge of the latter the landing (not accompanied by stratification glasses) strike N. 10-25° W. and slope S.W. At the first and on the west side of the little zone – western 4, 5, 9 the landing is beautifully stratulate striking N. 3° E., and dipping about 35°. While this magnitude a remarkable to uniformity in texture for some miles. They are very porceline in place, the rock is strongly laminated and bandled. Through the direction may vary as quite variable in glass extensive structure it well developed, but generally the rock assumes in a couple of ways the color approaches towards dark bluish instead of purplish red or so central 4, 5, 9., and – in the cave in strata northern 4, 27-1. At the latter locality there is developed a very peculiar feature in the slatey. This consists of a light column and fiber W. S. / 1/ centimeters thick in the slope to a overture of compressed elliptical – oval entities. Its ellipse or oval its elongated northely and also N. W. x S. E.; the length being 2 or 3 times its thick- ess. In compressed N. E. x S. W. this slatey assume a remarkable freedom from fragments for a long distance. Fragments first strike to appear at the point west of the fault extending in section 4, 5, 2 and east of the corner. Read to leave March 5/10
