Wed. August 20, continued. In the afternoon started north and down in the sec- tion. The dip of our conglomerate (1) of Pointe St. Peter continues north into the first harbor to a little point, and then on north making the headland of Little St. Peter. Around to the north one can see about 45' but thickness of this cgl., but with all fit to regret any of it much thicker. Thus very little dip, but other bear is in to the south. All of the remarks on the previous page relates to this cgl. To the N. around Little Pointe St. Peter in the clay core beneath cgl (1) is a series of thick bedded sandstone with thin lens of cgl and shale falls. It is decidedly arkosic and the red feldspars are conspicuous, quite irregularly bedded and much eroded. The thickness or all exposed is about 100' (see 200') thick, and to the next cgl (2) maybe 220' thick. The dip is 18° S.E. (from an unnamed point to the N.) To the N. in cgl (2) and in little (1). There may be lens ls. estimated at 750' and the beds are somewhat smaller. Thickness at least 60' The dip is to the S.E., i.e., to the south and to Plateau Island. Below cgl (2) going N. is very much more bedded ss. Weather reddish but inside tends to be greenish, with local lens of cgl. a few inches thick and an occasional local lense some feet thick. Portable thickness 125' Next down is a local cgl. as at me, about 10' thick at center soon petering out to the N. Dip 15°-18°. Going N. the dip flattens to less than 10°. Bold away from the dip on 12°-15°
