ululation = No. 6537.
About 5 feet of light gray
isolated under the trap E. 20° and strike N. 5°E. They
contain some nodular pebbles & Cy.tentaculata = 653.7 A.
As these are much broken & thick bedded - they do not
form a good type of the Prince's Cove shales.
Now this spot proceeding north and around
the Point cliffs of trap are exposed until on the
east side of the point, northerly, of 60 to 150 feet
there seem in the bluffs at the first & top cliff,
some dark blue thin bedded shales containing (not coll.)
forams, compressed clachenids, foraminifera, 653.7 A.
(cluding small mediolopsides & Lingula)
Lingulocardis sp. - the shales strike N. 8°W at the N.
end and N. 5°E at the south and a few rods away.
The dip is to the east 1-25° At the north and two
little patches of dark blue slate against trap to the
contact bedding N. 75°W. The trap cliff forms this
high tide slope in the west. South end of shales unknown.
Due west of the little island seems another
patch of shale of a darker color along a very light
gray -like patch of shale is cut off on the north and
south by trap, the south North boundary trending
N. 80°W and crossing S. 5-1242 & third boundary
trends N. 30°W. in a well developed fault plane.
This little satch of light gray shales strikes N. 75°E.
and dips East at 1-20°. No forams. Mud balls
common near the south contact - The shales are
sharred a darker color.
The trap in the south of the little patch
of light gray shale forms only a very narrow
beds and is followed on the south by a mess of
shales. The contact with the trap runs E.W. or S.S.E. W.
Now the contact the shales strike N. 5°E and dip
cast at an angle of 17° They contain a species of
Lingulocardis of which a couple of specimens were
obtained - recently discovered specimens of Katy-
schrenus also being as well as Byricinus & Bojame
= 6.53.7 A.
As the shales are very A in color from
dark brown black to gray & light gray - the latter may
be due to bedding of the shales continue for no.
100 yards of exposures to the south - a short way fur
this strike becomes N. 35°E and dip 47° S.E. The shale
here contain a few scattered valves of Lingulocaris etc.
a rare Phlyctochrea & Byriclina = 6.53.7 A.
Then
the south end of the exposures of shales - we saw
found not cut in face but evidently belongs to same
shales containing a band of Katfelichirus & some
with Cy.tentaculata = 6.53.7 A3

In east stream at the
Bridge near Grand Point
have prominent cliff
formed thick strata striking
N.10°W, dip cast @25°.
These thick bedded types
on the south side of the
stream part of the
bridge form a narrow
ridge for a little galbro
like, 48-50 feet thick which
here trends N. 72°W. A
specimen a couple of feet from
the north contact is 1231.
It is moderately coarse
or a galbro - In the middle
of the ridge however the
galbro is extremely coarse
and the pink feldspar
gives the rock a mantled
aspect specimens (1222) on the
south east of the ridge nearly
200 yards, the thick
bedded basic tuffs about-
by narrow shoots of trap (1236)
only a couple of feet wide
irregular in outline and a-
bloody terminating at the shore
core. The basic tuffs continue
along the shore northwest for
over a quarter of a mile Spec-
imens are 1237, 42. Then the-
play a uniform strike of N. 10-12° W and dip East
22-28° (average @ 25°).
The foreground trap (1233) might at
first be considered a contact face of the galbro
north than 231, but this is not reliable as
60 yards northwest of the bridge the cliff,
here massive & columnar are cut by a 20 foot dike
of similar trap which I. homogeneus throughout.
a specimen from the middle 1243 is similar to
1233.
