32 33 purple black, trap blue, shale green, gabbros pink, rhyolite red-brown, reddish (basie) tufts olive green, gray-bedded (fossiliferous) tufts [illegible] On the north-east end of Burbo Point are some caves of the S.W. quarter of 5241 near more about three chains W 67° N and apparently nearly natural. About 3 feet was exposed and in it a small quantity of rhyolite rock was seen, a part of which appeared gray shale or clay, but I could not determine fragment of the latter. The trap is also visible at the top and side of it to go up to the W. & E. sides respectively about 1 day north to find water. With all this we will have some rhyolite, gabbro, rhyodacite, basalt, porphyry and trachyte like those forming the three for a complete formation but not in one place or at least not in that order. I think gray tuffs may also be found on the coast along the north shore of Burbo Point to the W. 3 miles near where white field colors large masses of some form of blue Island gray tufts in Field and sand shales.
