on Devils herb hill of Youngs Point as far as the
S.E. corner of 5.25.4 seen a series of dark grayish
slate shales in the middle of these and they
strike N.85W. and dip 45N.E. and contain an
abundance of fossils: 5.25.4 A, chiefly
Dalmanella (smallish) common.
Trilobites
Neurocrania (2pp.) occasional?
Type type.
The shales are red slotted and are well
laminated.
Near the south end of the shales appear
an abundance of large boulders of slate with
limestone bands 3 to 5. miles N.W. from J.
fossils. Some of these specimens which appeared
from slate strike N.55W. and dip N.E. about
40o. They count
5.25.4 A' chiefly abundant
Dalmanella Cornaro-cochia acut.
Daly's, 1913 is the (and quite a few) one,
The fossils collected were not in place but appeared
lying loose
Underlying 5.25.4 A' are some hard
gray tuffs with thin & close on Devils Point
but they are not certainly in place. The point
in N.W.
5.25.8 or Jabori.
The upper part of the shales near
Youngs Point are full of (5.25.4 B')
Acmastrelllla abundant

Neurocrania 2pp. com:
Archeolyda R
They have strike N.20W. and dip N.E. about
40o
Between 5.25.4 A' & the shales are cut
by an intruded sill of amygdaloid basalt
trap, and by a natural like lead gray
shale silite trending W.S.O.S The dark
band of phyllite appears has a dip as the
S. end of the exposure of shale.
5.25.4 A-B clearly marked along the
feet are exposed sunk against the S side
of Youngs Point in a fault plane trending
WN23O.S The shales are buried sheared near
slantely?
In the east side of Devils Point
in this restricted group of the little bay
in 5.24.6 occur the same phyllite as well
found on the west side of Devils Point (see)
The phyllite bed is not intruded into
course trap (1250) and is islanded on the east by
the trachyte tuffs, its cany
5.24.6 A' blue tuff strike N 62W. and dip 45N.W. was also seen over
some 12 or 13 feet of shales intercalated with the tuffs and
surrounding it about 25 feet wide. The lower half of shale
clayey are thin, papery and contain rare specimens of
Trilobites (detected) as 5.25.4 B') and a Dalmanella
5.24.6 B'
In the middle of the shales (lengthwise) there are less paper
and appear in occasional fragments of slate and a
seam provided with Alacrispira - 5.24.6 C'. The upper
3 or 4 feet of shales are - thick slabby laddle and some
dark ashlar seams full of fossils for 100 ft. They are
also sandy grades up into the underlying tuffs, see Jabori
5.24.6 D' underlie.
Charotes (suff) abundant
Kurocomarocochia R common
Spirefer (vanuxeni)
Whitella (of the same as 5.25.4 and later) occasional
Pterinitella reticulata occasional
Cyrtodonta R. subseptem R

The underlying tuffs for two feet over the shales contain a
red jasper including (5.24.6 E')

Around the Point occur red tuffs
apparently base alternating
with light gray apparently
acid tuffs. The kind in this
slope like coal near up the
N.E. end of Devils Point seems
phyllite between slate sim-
silar to 1250 Road trap
occurs a few rods, to the S.E.
In this N.W. - very red
layers are intercalated in the
grayish light colored tuff which
crosses Devils Point and has
specimen no 12-5/13, a light
