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.
