W. of Niakarnat the dark series falls rapidly
and is soon lost to sight in the cliffs just over of therey
over of Niakarnut, i.e. about 6om. from N. where teta-
salts are in great abundance forming talroliffs,
with red streaks of brick color on them. Agates or
chalcedony also present, during this part of the
route the fertility is much increased by the first
fall of snow, which covers the mts above 900'-1000'
A.T.
Some distance E. of Niakarnasutk the light tuffs
teds appear in sections. Back of these are away from
Niakarnasutk to Alianatsupunk are precipitous
walls of dark greenish or rusty brown tussalt about
2000' vertical from which cascade streams.
Cretaceous shows along coast for more than one
mile west, from Aliantingvak, capped by basaltic pre.
cipituous formations. Rocks = buff ss, and eras. dips
at our 10° E. Over one mile is exposed. Probably 200'
is exposed. At Alianatsupunk the tussalt comes down
to tidal level.
Lower part of series dark sandy sh and erus, at our
200 ss buff. The dark series may be 200' thick and
at our are perhaps or 300 buff sh, ss, and then
eras and Shanks, as well as clints eras. (my obsone)
