Friday Sept. 7, 07 [illegible] [illegible] [illegible] 12:45 - The cliffs became prominent along the road till 60 ft. contour at 4:22. Duff reappears between the 2 megalant mining pits in 4:31 and on the outcrop, but in latter place on the boundary between 4 x sheet I opined a you not resulting trap but which I may be able to examine - [illegible] - Duff appears in same apple orchard. In 1:52:14 most of cliffs road in the little range along the 70-80-yr. years scrape cliff for 1206. Surfaces closely resemble at first sight or more, but later on these are associated with a distinct fragmentals. In 1:42.8 there occurs ab the river bed bands underneath the leptynite rocks and others [was] seems distinctly sharpish eliminated led much calcite from Joseph Hanks N.35°W. dip 47°NE.

Favosites rare Pugus coral (simple) " Megambenia Cratamysia [?] concavata Actinophorella [?] reticulata Hermea danbyi Modiolopsis ? Saturday Sept. 10, 07. On the road running northward to Northale Bay Court, at the top of the hill in 4:24-5, you see some gray granites - [illegible] in this rockbed, the top extends far greater descending the last northeasterly on the lower part of Hirsbleys Court, on the boundary between 4.2 x 7.1 we find some silified lenses of a grayish slate color resembling flint about 18" thick not exposed on generally powerful laminae which left bed when the locality was noted, strike N.65° to N.75°W. (the last being rather uncertain) this slip is at 22°NE. (average, strike about N.72°W.) A specimen of the fine slate like grayish blue loaded with small calcite crosses the table of the exposure in 12:27. The summit and [illegible] joint in 4:31 rest on it is a good example of compact of stratified in crushed glass, similar to my estimate with fragmental stuff - the latter predominating, the truffle layers are strongly injected with white siliceous faults 1-2' apart forming sluffs striking N.25°W. Dip about 37° NE. A compound aggregate of phyllite glasses is revealed produced gradually transitioning into rock slate underlined appearance as rather later three colors may, be due to partial weathering. For a few distances ground tuff appears and in no place along 195 yards west of mine do the beds strike out of the road stand versus a course between granted first the bedding striking N.70°W. and roughly 45°NW. Or not within central part of one block by this hill in some cases ground tuff as well as on the geology, like glasses the landing is distinctly NW to E. except directional patterns in the west end of the matter in the landing is N.20°W. unground gray phyllite layers penetrating. Between the two top level of the cliff near same glasses with scattered flakepy, Lias页岩, which except for itself glassy planes project a greater than the trouble lay in the rock stream which exist. All of this with of the time on phyllite geology, phyllite give well restricted plane systems, the else body upon which I question gray, gray dark colored [illegible] and siliceous blocks, interlaced. West of the road at 4:23 south of the little needed level tuff - the latter again appears in the same glassy phyllite with 10-20' faults and a bit of limestone on an N.5-7° course for [illegible] meters 1:29, and by so in well defined quartz veins. Day 10:09 - a marked layer phyllite with tiny crystal plates of rock aggregate.
