Hyd Miller Cliffs at Mt Maguasha.
In the crest towards Flemons Point the light greenist

at about 5°. The centre of the arch is to the east of the Maguasha
draft, to the east of which for some hundreds of yards one

Heliptychius scales, me for first tail, two small Archae-
pitys, and considerable plant fragments. All the Ordov ss are lim-

The Devonian goes far to the crest, two miles east of Gino
Point. The Compston Drw is opposite the farm and to the
cast of this lumbering town.
Paid close attention to the conglomerate bed 10' thick to the
cast of the little stream west of the draft, it was Boulder conglomer with
gray granite and igneous ones and in signs up to one foot across,
All are well rounded and most of them are of own quantity

scratching. There is then no evidence of glacial action in
