The highway limit is nearly west of Perry. About most of the main highway running the 24 mile eastward from Perry, sandstone conglomerates crop out in the railroad cutting much as they do near a quarry exposure in the highway 1/4 mile west of the river (A). The section as illustrated in this figure is at sufficient part of the fields near exposures of rhyolite red shales nearly filling the stratigraphic interval. The left profile red shales are the only rocks cropping out in this interval, suggesting that they are the only rocks running below the sandstone conglomerates of (B). However passing along the railroad westwardly we soon find another railroad exhibiting the former sandstone and conglomerate apparently starting gradually below B and still further west near as the railroad crosses the river the conglomerate again appears on the river bank with NW side. The railroad was as overlain by red shales (4). All conglomerates of (A) and (B) appear to underlay B, and right thereof to crop out in the

Laciflorpus slates, [illegible] The perliferous slate series of ward Broad Cove notion follows was around the broad gneiss-gran intruding down into 6,558 and then to abut in a fault plane as shales against a series of purple & green tuffal content ash beds, and including a few bits of purple shale. The fault plane strikes approx. N. 80° E. and is somewhat simoonous. In the east 1/2 the fault plane is occupied by a blue-gray rhyolite dike, near where the perliferous older slate Broad Cove series yielded some good ostracoda and small branches and a few of the hummocky-like gastrol sed = 6,558 ft. On the west the purple tuffs bear on about 1/2 of feldspar phenocrystic glass; a species as 1178 Broad Cove no feet fields below B. coveless, the red slate as the only rocks cropping and there. It is hardly possible to tell the supposition that they are replaced entirely in with a short distance & slakes, and it appears greatly probable that some faulting greatly disturbed some clasts in the southwestern of the supposed intrusion passage from the red shales into the conglomerats of the typical Perry series. How ever the red shales do occur intercalated with the constrictures and conglomerates in the railroad cuts, and the red slakes only, the newly cropping out below the railroad at Table Flats.

Thursday, Aug. 29. 07. 4 231/1 came down the west side of the east branch of the Pennamoygan at Penkirk village, a long outcrop of purple shale occurs in the S.W. corner of 231/7. The outcrop strikes N. 20° W., dips 45°, and on an angle of 18° they are much splintered, the splinters so trending N. 55° E. A couple of feet of grey limestone with purple sandstone and sandy shale are included. Passing along 100 yards, southwest of this point (231), the strike swung around about 25°, country slopings to N. 48° W., dip the course 18°. Found in the purple shale as extremely nice including beds for specimens of the distributed fauna = 237 A; a specimen of the grey limestone in 1150. The shale necessarily contains accumulations with large shells (specimens) set off reports and affogating gashes. 20 ft under, 180 to the west and sandy shales striking N. 40° W. and a grey sand at an angle of 26°. These shales contain bed rock fragments and slate appears to be separated from generally fauna = 241/1 B. The purple shales continue in this way, as in 237 A, the shale is dug down in 241/1 where there appears both sides of the ring, a case of the granites stuff on either side of falls that the rock in the usual broken light ash-grey joined off with an abundance of feldspar (plagioclase) as if left to a depth of as well thick we shall care, and also pieces of slate (mugger), and slate (generally rounded). The rock is massive without the slightest trace of bedding, the strike is rather the approximate northern boundary, bearing about N. 40° W. Specimens are 1181, and this latter presenting the aspect much shattered surfaces within the rock, especially the feldspar is darker.

Friday, Apr. 20 '67 When it was found on Innerwygan River that the gray talse came so sharply separable from the red by a granited tuff (1182 x 119) our efforts were made to take this boundary northward. In say 5 is an enlarged map of the district between Penbrooke & West Pennbrooke, to the east side of the road in the northeast corner of 1163 red slates appear, where the line of strike of the boundary tuff might along the tuff's face suggesting a fault and for matter of fact the granited tuff actually is found thus south as shown on the map with a edge sheer striking N 20 W indicating also approximate line of strike. Red slates appear to the northwest with a strike of N 25° W (75 deg) and apparently under the tuff just mentioned, but we find the tuff level again affected by a fault and the tuff appears below the red slates in a long ledge striking N 55° W this is also the west strike of the red slate immediately overlying the tuff and the gray talse immediately underlying. The red slates are found at the church and on the fields to the northwest, the gray talse appear in the fields on a large mined estate under the tuff crossing the Penbrooke-West Penn- brooke road at this place we come to another offset of the tuff this time to the northeast, and the fault is hidden eliminated by the presence of red slates along it (laterally) of the tuff. The boundary was not followed for good this point. The gray talse of the No 45 Innerwygan face and the fields beyond may be said dominant over the gray slate where they strike E N W and dip to the north they only seem to form a thick series of tuff which form a very regular ledge on the east side of the river. This tuff strikes W 20° S and dips to the west at an angle of 22°. At their south limit this strike W 15° N, and a fault through a fault plane against a little patch sandstone, fault striking N N W, which in turns cuts up another fault plane against a tuff series joining the same - 1184. This tuff stands at the little creek at the end of No 6 on the east side of Innerwygan as a fault. This tuff, no grayable glassy thin beds along quite distinct, ledged) and in places as granited & specimen is 1184. The feldspar phenocrysts larger more scattered than in 1157-2: Slate.

8 Heresy's Cove. On the river road A Hersey's Cove where the road near the from 2:415 up to 2:416, at the lower end of the N.W. side of the road in eastern 2:417, the gray plantery striking out into the S.W. side and as a end by a large mass of galbros = 1183. This point marks the place where the ground bluff turns to the gray shale and shales begin to appear. In the rock face on the east side of the house, slaty shale contains flint-poor planerysts and this may be the equivalent of 1:574, but it is not certain that the rock is in place. The galbros crops out at the road corner on the east side 2:416, and again at the point on the road where Hersey's Cove is 2:427. On the north shore of this point the gray plantery strikes up and striking N. 19° W and dipping N.E. at a low angle. A Mr. Jackson's claim on a 10 foot ledge of the Blanchard shale about 100 yards N. of the point contains a few undetermined fossils = 2:427A On the south side of the large rounded point, 2:419 in the N.W. part of Hersey's Cove the gray shales disappear with the same strike and dip, strike N. W.S.W., dip 15° N.E. The shales can contain a few specimens of Grammysia exigula = 2:419A About the N.W. side of this point at SW. 2:416 the gray shales appears with S. strike of N. 70° W and a dip of 50° N.E. They are underlaid by a trap intrusion. The trap near the contact is about 18 feet firm contact, S. 130° E.S.W. 2:416A. The contact at NW. A large mass of green B on the shale shales contain Alcyodemia abundant Desmatites occasional = 2:416A On the west side of the N.W. cove of Hersey's Cove, the gray shales appear in couple of ridges in the N.W. corner but beginning this west of 2:427 A. This shore is formed by a mass of galbros with very large flinty planerysts, approximately the same rocks as 1:583. A specimen in 1:583. The rock may be a silicose porphyry. Returning this point on both east and west side of Hersey's Cove at N.E. 2:427 we find about 15 feet off the shore forming the edge of galbros of the same dipping with the gray shales near to the point, which in trap. 1:60°N.W. few feet from the contact and the underlying shale the trap as many planters. In the accompanying sketched map of the east side of Hersey's Cove at the point (A), purple red shale crop out striking N. 39° W and dipping 19° to the N.E. The purple shales lines contain scales with flint pieces, Alcyodemia (not collected) = 2:427A (B) the purple red shales strike N. 50° W and dip just and at C the shale strikes for a long distance. 9 as N. 20° E. and dip 17½° S. 20° S. Five fossils occur here consisting of pieces of Alcyodemia growing in the shell. Other fossils included are: Atrypa, Spirellida, Grammysia exigula, and a Crinoidite. The fauna is 2:428A In Figs A at the point (B) the strike of the purple shales is N. 40° W and dip 19° E. Here appear traces of a distinct fault between B & C, the panel trending approximately N. x S. 5 to 10°. In the southwest corner of Hersey's Cove on the east side in 2:523 occurs a patch of conglomerate and purple shales striking N. 84° W and dipping to the north at an angle of 19½°. The purple shale at this line display the strike & dip quite well, and are very fossiliferous, among them being: Phyllostromo (rare in 2:523 A) abundant Lepidocia (abundant), Beyrichia (common). Grammysia, Heptadomai perbrookensis Bill. (rare). The fauna is 2:52-3A. Also shale dip under some silicified shales & conglomerates similar to those on the east side of Hersey's Point, about three feet at one place large ladders of purple clay shale bed are common though not observed in place and suggest rock similar to that seen at a railroad on the highway in western 2:514 (east of Berry).

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. 2516 A 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. 2516 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 257.8 A 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.

Just north of the gables of Gernot Point occurs a small patch of purple shale, and blue slate against a series of conglomerates which from the west strike E-W in the north end of 2-547. The contact appears to be a fault plane; both the purple shales and the conglomerates display different attitudes sufficiently distinctly --one strikes N-S, except that the complements in a couple of places displays cross bedding with a heavy mortcrotted dip, the gentle area much as 6 inches diameter, generally well rounded and cement for the most part of various shades of purple slaytes. Overlying these conglomerates is a series of black slate beds which are splatted & interwoven and only rarely show any lading planes on the north shore of the levee. The northern half of 2-547, the strike is N.30° W., dip 32°, N.60° E., and there in the strike and dips in the red rocks like it may not be found apparently as far as a millimetre S. of the northern boundary of 2-537 where in a little covered interval appearing on the east side of the point on the N.E. corner of 2-544, joint planes are well developed leaving S.60-65° W. in various places included series of joint planes appears. On the shores of Rodgers Point the brick red shale displays more persistent bedding than anywhere else and along the entire N. shore of Rodgers Point in 2-444, 7 and 2-439 the strike is N.12°-26° E. with an average strike of N.20° E., dip 22° to the East 20°. A couple of conglomerate seams are developed in the lower part. On the west side of the levee now occurring in 2-439, the red massive beds shappper striking N.75° W. with dip 90°(nearly vertical) to the south. The dip is not found from several loose bedded fine conglomerate calcareous bands in the massive red shale. This seams 5 inches thick is composed of a brown colored aggregate of quartz fragments with larger bits of purple rock. Specimen 1176 shows round strikes E.-W., dip 60° to the south. Some coarse sandstone & conglomerates several feet thick also appear from a few feet below; they display washed cross bedding resembling typical Purys and consist very largely of pebbles of quartz more larger, however than the size of a pea. 13 Pennamaquan River, West Pembroke Thurs.

16 Falls Point. To the west of the section including 5-33, A-5-10, etc., on the south-west side of Falls Pt., there is a covered crop about 125 yards wide, when there appear first of dark bluish thin splintery shale striking N.45° W. and dipping to the W. at about 45°. These shales vary as a 5 inch thick glossy flaggy clay, and descending in the section to the west we come to a thick series of massive tuffa striking N.45° W. and dip giving 45° to the N.E., and including a total of about 125 yards. These tuffs from the shore line for nearly half a mile on the south-west side of Falls Point. Specimens are 115-9, 1157, 1160, etc. The rock may be called a feldspar porphyry or breccia. The magma is a light gray glassy pelysate containing an abundance of feldspar phenocrysts the rock resembling white granite except in the occurrence of pelysate fragments and in places small pieces of black slate scales, also large rounded lumps of tumba a foot thick. In several places along the 3rd of a mile entered on the south-west side of Falls Point, there are masses of flinch black shale from 2 to 6 feet thick and several rods in extent, apparently entirely included in the tuffa. These shales are also crumpled and successively rolled and slickensided on the outer portions, suggesting that they were not contemporaneous deposits but initial large horres included in the tuffa, perhaps while still clay (crenant slithering). No patch of shale is over 2 yards thick and no bedding planes are discernible. Fossils extremely scarce hardly recognizable = 5-32, A, including a small Crocodonta occasional, Chorofor cornuta (small coarse striate) rare, D.Hoceras rare. About 100 yards north-west of the main mass of the white granitoid tuffa and still in the tuffa, there occur some fossiliferous tuffa bearing a very interesting fauna. The tuffa for one foot are very fossiliferous with blue pelysate glassed with many beds full of Wisconsin. This rocks includes a couple of thin seams of coarser tuffa with fragments the age of Gen three fossiliferous beds strike N.31° W. and dip N.E. at an angle of 38°. The point of outcrop bears E.20° S. from a little land laid island bearing a couple of pine trees half a mile N.W. of the tip of Falls Point. The fauna is 5-22, A and includes Wilsonia abundant Cammarochea Dalmacella (2 sp.) ?Schizophoria Strophonella Actinopterella Grammysioid Myolind Pferinta danbvi Horiosoma Neurotomaria (very large, of Horiosoma) Orthoceras myrice Calymene - Pterocheras sp. Dalmantus # This may be taken as probably the average dip of the tuffa series on the S.W. side of Falls Point, which with minimum width of 100yds would give 405 feet thickness in the tuff series.

The fossiliferous tuffa are underlain by a series of coarse tuffa and about 150 yards to the S.E. within the exposures of the main mass of white granite like tuffa extending for a third of a mile to Falls Point.

20 9.43.7 / A Denysville About the Post office and now road occur quartzite truffs with small angular quartz fragments and pebbles of quartz magma, on the north end of this rock are two large protogins occur a hand-sized porphyry rock jointed by quartz cut with long-striated sandstone and granite. At this N. 40° W. approximately and dips northeast the veins of dark porphyrite are parallel to these. Fragments of quartz truffs appear as far as the mill on Allen Bridge opposite the bridge in two sections. Quartz occurs, dark stained in color, with field of rhyolite and a very rare small fragment of greenish-black granite. On the east side of this river opposite the church fragments of rocks occur and extend for about on the north end of the grant at 5.8. 4.2-5°. On the east side of the grant V in about 100 yards east are lead-gray quartzite flaccid without fragments, and with intermingled grains of white pyrite. They are colored on the east by sandstone fragments of this type fragments range in size from inches to big ones composed of red sandstone glassy or in pieces packed together as in making the bulk of the rock. This gray truffs are very a trap minerals about 20 feet thick extending N. 47° W. 9.43.74 of Clermont & of Pannymus copiate and extinct creature 21 The quartz truffs reappear on the most side of the creek and in extent 4 to 1. The truffs are very fragmented consisting of rounded dark grayish-brown fragments from granite beds and fine-grained rocks similar to 1198. On the south side of the stream they reappear in fragmented form and are generally cut in thin band of basaltic rock and the 2-foot sounding. The fragmented truffs are interbedded with abundant fractured little fragments (granite, porphyry, black chert on the east end of this zone) and to the southward on the west side at 4-3-7, the truffs are gray colors. East of Clermont at 1 foot in 4.3-4 occurs a massive dark blue-black very finely-grained rhyolite with cubic felspar phenocrysts displaying wide columnar structures (tree printing). Between this (gray) rhyolite and the fine between 4-3-5 and 4-3-4 occur a patch of blue-limited rhyolite without any events, but grading up into a coarse fragmented zone with fragments of gray buff colored rhyolite in a bed of overprinting. The limited-banded portion at 1198. The trending strikes N 72° W. and appears to dip southerly but not quite certainly as on several side of the little rock near west of the middle of 4-3-5 occur a bed dark fine-grained rhyolite with white felspar showing concentric circles to large size and end of the me foot sounding in 4-3-4. No fragments, dark fragmented beds occur at present a few yards to the N.E. in the place for a cut hundred yard to the east so far as angle indentation in the store in 8 W. 4-3-6 occur gray light gray truffs generally appermented. A less prominent element 1172-1 foot this boundary between 4-3-5 and 4-3-6 on the corner of the abole, it is running N 80° 5 W in 4-3-6. In our new section a stone stratified side and altering a fault, as which alteration fault glows (northeast N. 20° W.) against hard therefore dark fragmented rhyolite. The full rest of the 2-foot sounding in 4-3-6 is composed of the dark blue glass with felspar phenocrysts. On the other side on the most side of the river at eastmost 4-3-6 or some 5° E. of the 7-foot sounding, gray, black argillaceous truffs occur weathering gradually gray. Siliceous truffs appear to continue along the east extremity. 4-3-7 The bed ways in large thick-bedded flagging along this line of north to the west end of the river at southmost 4-3-6, feet of north of the 2-foot soundings close seem in the general gray with about 5 inches of extent appears the east of a wider color, vertical bedding N. 50° W. it may be internally closely jointed N.W. but is greatly alike.

[illegible] The hill on the boundary line between 4, 3, and 4, 4, as composed mainly of a very fragmental breccia, generally glassy objects (a my rock) largely colored by the very closely intermingled largely mica schist for [illegible]. The base of this rock is well observed on the point in 4, 4 at the northeast corner of the area. It not here is a rounded myophyll glass, the bedding extending in a general northwest and dip direction ranging from N. 40° W. to N. 68° W., and dipping N. E. about 45°. In the middle of the area on the boundary between 4, 4, 4–7–7-8 occur more fragmental beds, dark purplish fragment in a matrix of greenish gray to purplish green colors. On the east side of this area the gneissosity in 4, 4, 1 containing the two lowermost ten yards (a continuous agglomerate (breccia)) containing large fragments, bruchies, dark pinkish objects in a purplish green magma. On the S.W. side of this gneissosity there occur under thin as brown triff, about 5 feet of stratified slabby triff, the upper half redical purple, the middle dark purplish blue and the lower third bottle green. Strike N. 30° W., dip north around concentric gashes. [illegible] Spawning of the red slate triff 120°. These slabs triff are almost buried in the trough slightly a triff 35° on the east side of the point there occur underneath the portion X feet thick triffs (included as not visible) come based blue and bluish gray glassy triff, generally not fragmental, but cleaning up fragmental toward the S.E. (a lava down). In the small area of this area on the boundary between 4, 4, 5 and 4, 4, 8., a fault of the 3 foot rounding under more rounded purplish glasses, the bedding extending N. 80° W. and dipping about 25°. In the northeast corner of 4, 4, 9 (between the 3 ft. rounding in 4, 4, 5 and the 2 foot rounding in 4, 4, 9, slightly nearin the latter) occur a fine anticline with the axis extending N. 48° E., and as dipping quite strongly in that direction. Trace of this anticline also appears on the opposite shore at the point opposite the lot and 2 foot rounding in 4, 4, 6. This rock throughout the red slabby triff which is so attractive as it appears to be naturally reddish in glass, has the red bedding strike N. 60° W., and dip N. 5° E. (about 30°) at the N.W. side this red clay with a series of dark purplish, a fragment glassy generally sandfly and not fragmental until colors are exposed on the east of the red ridge in section 4, 4, 9., and two small [illegible] foot rounding near the triff contain large angular fragments nearly white glass and bedding and a dark purplish smooth clay matrix, which seems to indicate strike S.

While this magnitude a remarkable to uniformity in texture for some miles. They are very porceline in place, the rock is strongly laminated and bandled. Through the direction may vary as quite variable in glass extensive structure it well developed, but generally the rock assumes in a couple of ways the color approaches towards dark bluish instead of purplish red or so central 4, 5, 9., and – in the cave in strata northern 4, 27-1. At the latter locality there is developed a very peculiar feature in the slatey. This consists of a light column and fiber W.

E. At the easternmost branch of the core occurs a 152-foot trap sill striking N. 20° W. on the west side of this easternmost arm; some coarse stratified basal gray tuffs similar to, but significantly less granular, red on the end of Danby Point. Ole strike at N. 45° W. dip 50° N. E. On the west side of the point the tuffs are on the south pattern. The limit the greenish flow are irregular; strike N. 70° W. dip 60° and nearly some coarse fegry tuff. These massive fragments contain ell & simple chlorite porphyry, flake rhyolite etc. embedded in a dark gray stratified matrix. A boulder of black gray shale at this point contains a few layers that are not on face but the second little one is the west of Black Head; some platy blue slate may be on the west side merging some tuffs which form the foreplaner top of the point. The shale strike N. 35° W. the strike being about to N. 50° W. at the top of the point. It dips at 36° N.E. The lower 10 feet of shale contains a rare Murchisonia (?): Hyrichia = 6:92:4 A.

The beds dip N.W. the shore for a distance of about 70 yards. They are level in the middle, and undulate toward land but in the northwestern half strike N. 48° E. and dip M.W. at an angle of 23°, to S.E. exactly. N.15° W by S. E.

These phylites for to 1224 and form clay pipes up. But extending to 1224, 10 yards. The flow is perforable with the smaller which dip up in the phylite and the flow lines of the phylite to have the same strike and dip in the underlying strata. A slight development has been seen. It shows the columnar internal structure clearly above of the shell. The phylites is cut by a 5 foot trap dike, 1225. In both the sides, the underlying phylite flows have restored pressure filled with splinters to the petine views in the slate expands to a width of 10 miles and another seen a couple of feet away is nearly a foot uniformly thick. Several veins in the phylites are 3 miles thick. Specimens from veins in the shale, are 1226, 1227. But shale as cut by a couple of phylite dikes and by a coarse trap (granodioric) strike about 15° N.W. at a low angle under phylite flows.

On the south slope of Red Point over the west and near some dark black block chales, similar to 7.23 A, turned up on edge and striking N. 37° E. there is a dip of about 85° N. W. These shales are thin luted very dark colored & excessively shekerded (poking group a sandy block appeared), they contain an abundance of Camellibrancha mediogypsa, Cyrtodonta and m. fortunately too poorly preserved to give any rule a Beyrichia I have found that actually is seen but evidently from these shales], the fauna 6.52?

On the end of Red Point appears the red shales which give the point its name. these shales also continue for the southern corner of the point to the little indentation on the west side. the shales are massive, rarely a very seam or metwbed & along the strikes and a couple seams of small fragments of shells that they strike a dip at the northern end of the exposed shale, the strike N. 16° E. and the red shales dip W at an angle of 52°. on the greater portion of the length of exposure the shales strike N. 65° E. and are vertical from the N.W. and they appear to resume the N. 16° E strike just midway of 549. No fossils occur at the north end of the exposures of red shales on the south side of the little indentation that in the west margin of Red Point - a -- stay at ---- off, about 20 feet thick occur in the red shales. No fossils are found in the red shales such as I have seen in places full of amygdaloid like little smites filled with shells. On the north side of the little indentation in the west side of Red Point the trap reappears, in the south margin trending N. 50° W. On the opposite shore of Red Point the supposed shale for red series (Beyrichia or the west of the little shale level with a 3 foot sanding. The shales there contain some coral Cyptodonta & small fossils with occasional Beyrichia. By these we are much farther at the following Shale Hardy as I preserved, as indicated by fossil friends 41 surfaces the strike in the middle of the west part of this row N. 30° E., dip southward approximately 25° and this is also the strike and dip of the northwest end of the area where the shales may against the half closed seams almost trap which trend N. 35° E. In the middle of the exposure of blue black shale the strike is N. 75° E. and its dip southward for a short distance about 75 feet of outcrop are exposed in the west side of this little cove. The shales reappear on the east shore along little cove striking N. 65° E. and dipping to the S at an angle of about 20°. A few Camellibrancha (cyptodonta ?) nodosa [opera] occur here 6.52? C (not collected), in the tiny indentation at the north end of the little point on the northeast side of Red Point in the S.E. corner of the N.E. quarter of 6.52? occurs a greenish trap similar to the shekerded trap occurring along Red Point. A specimen is 1230. This trap reappears on the east side of the point and applies to as a general N.W. trending nearly S. W. The north end of this little point contains an important series of shales which stratigraphically resemble the preceding shales of the supposed black for head series. They are somewhat more ample mediogypsa? by th dentis - Camellibrancha appear eently the same as the other dark shales, but differ in two respects.

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 43 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 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.

44 On the west side of Smith Bay opposite the south end of Trap Island there occurs on the cliff an exposure of shale nearly 30 yards long. The shale is dark bluish black but in the north part unusually slickersided as along the surfaces are glossy shiny black. The bedding appears to correlate with the slickensided surfaces and is nearly vertical striking N 40-25°E, and dipping 80-60° S.E to S. The shale is partly much torn and both the beds & they appear to be curl up gray gneissy phyllite as indicated. The sketch at this locality appears to just as a low angle and a fault along it suggests shale phyllite contact cutting parting up into the shale-trap contact as elsewhere dark ledges. About 10 yards to the north occurs a zone of phyllite tuff, stratified by a series crystalline intrusive appearing at an exposure 50 W in apparently the same formation as the strata above noted.
