Barrel of Kelly. Orient in 5.3.2 there is a long series
of gray's bluish-gray platy slate with lims inch.
Ellison, LeRoy and an occasional 2 inch "4"
sandstone flag. Steeply strikes N. 30° W. and
dips to the north at an angle of 70°. The slabs lie
nearly vertical, in a double dipper system to
ward members of table.

region. Plate is in seams and on

The farm is in 5.3.2, a and was platted for the
upper 100 feet of slate. There are couple of platy slate
strikes of a bluish color.
In the core on the west end of the Peninsula from
in 2.5.6 we find the red silicate exposed to near
the Ingalls' bridge and the base of the east island
my northward toward as formed of trap. Perhaps
exposed in 11.90, it is only a few feet below
surface. The gray flag of the glacial platy slate.

has the east end of the point an outcrop
in 2.5.16 as exposed about 20 feet of gray slates with scraple
of some particular slabs and a trap dike.
Grandstone Cig. Strike roughly from N.
55° W., on the s. side and to N. 20° S.E. The m. & w.
738 average strike about N. 25° W., Dip to the north-
east at moderate angle, 17-21°. I found no un-
cracked but appears to be of only about 5 feet
extending N. 10° W., the east side is thrown, the
sandstone flag connected
on both sides, the
fault a few miles
displaced at on both
complete fractures, dip 40°, N. to W.

sides is a shaly seam full of Grammysia
in platy and a foot almost a latechrose
interlayer seam with an abundance of Pity
actinoma & some Boyerchia. The jobbs, the

Garnet Point.
In the south side and southwest corner of Garnet
Point covers a long exposure of blue slate usually not
worked, but this distinctly bedded in places, in addition to a few
blue silicate. Continual slabs with Platychroma and
a few 5 inch sandstone flags with some fine stone seams
of equal thickness the last named being quite common
at the top of the cuton. The bedding is fairly distinct.
the beds present alternation of flaggyish bands with the
indicated network & platy slate. Strike N. 70° W., Dip
46° N. 24° E. Borna 3.54.4 A
Grammysia cingulata
Platychroma abundant in seams from base to top
Leporiditha (in a seam, arranged by the above)
Boyerchia
small Lingula (same as at Pearl Point)
The lingula occurs in a couple of sandy seams, in which
no other fossils are found.
A readily measured section about 450 feet
of bluish gray and bluish red slate are exposed. The upper 70 feet
as chiefly light steel gray flag slate takes flags similar both
geologically & lithically to those on the Garnet Point and like the latter
contain a few Spiridites, but as Garnet Point the spin-
dita is always arranged by Platychroma and
Grammysia neither of which rear in the more inland
lone on the Pearl Point series.
At the upper end of the section on the east side
of Garnet Point, the slate tip under a large gabber was
as the north side of where appeared small patches of
purple schist. Three purple slates that against a some of
course conglomerate and some massive
red slates which included the whole of the entire east
ends of Mercy Point to beyond Brooklyn Point.
Strike Courses, otherwise nearly on a very
curve gable which resembles a gianted top, the result-
lows thing due to the development of large Glosserysta of
feldspar, and the Aggregation of less feldspar glosserysta into
rough bands & strips like the bedding planes of the slate.
About 170 feet above the lower gables where the slate
is intruded by a weakly mylonite granite 3 to about 15 ft thick
and exhibiting fine columnar structure. At turn gables
all seam slanty close and couple more of trap sill also
seen in the lower third of the section. A thorman of the
twilight of these is 11.72.
Small & small faults seen in the slates, one of them
displaces the columns trap sill as much as 50 feet or more.
