Hyd Miller Cliffs at Mt Maguasha. In the crest towards Flemons Point the light greenist Devonian ss and sandy sl are very horizontal but begin to arch having dips to the crest from 2° to 10° and dip to the north 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 again sees no outcrops. Then seen they dip at about 5° and further cast steepen to about 15° or from there and here they are stated upon the Devonian flanges under the sea. red to the crest from the nearby Bonaventure. Saw a few Heliptychius scales, me for first tail, two small Archae- pitys, and considerable plant fragments. All the Ordov ss are lim- amons shipped and in one place saw a little lim dredging. 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 and the granite. Some of the are striated. Got me five boulders of Walpits and another dilemia one with a coal. Near the stream saw two large boulders (18" across) that cleaved once are a chalybite, weather a dim time. striated, but these were loose. All about this stream and up it are many loose large boulders and partly are of Pleistocene scratching. There is then no evidence of glacial action in (See second page to right)
