72 Race Pt July 6. In the core west of Race Point gabbro outcrops continuous along the southeast and east shores and in the hillback on the land. The northeast point of the Core is com- posed (porphyritic gneiss) abyolite trapp only rarely contain- s a few fragments. These form the North Shore of Race Point excepting the east corner where gabbro again comes to the shore. There is also a dike of gabbro near the East corner, the dike trending N. 20° E. The east shore of the Point is composed of the same massive porphyritic and trapp as on the west shore. A thick mass of gabbro interrupts this series. North of this gabbro area which is in S. W. 5° 34.4' to the stubby dip shore in some of the porphyritic trapp, the strike varies from N. 13° W. to N. 20° W., dip 33° - 36° E. respect- sively. Of the two little points on the south side of Race Point, the east one is composed of gabbro with a shooting of porphyritic the east shore and a bit of addituff at the S.W. corner (Sdb) Diabase) 9 to 20ft
