Collect. Or again of house place, or a little S.E. of it, exposures of tuff SS and sh at not red sh at at not 200' - 300' A.T. out from blares. Section out from since Knolls of the track. Basalt outcrop interposes at about 1450', where from 14450' - 2/180 the Cretaceous shows again. Large clays & with thin coals and creamy tuff SS end sh in lower two-thirds. The upper 180' consisting mostly of tuff SS on which not the basalt crop in sharp contact - the basalt sloping gently to the W. Turning outcrop fortresses. Cretaceous of Cretaceous is little here. Cretaceous outcrop sloping, poorly exposed and more completely covered by vegetation than elsewhere in Greenland. East of house place at not 1/4 ocean pines, about 50 A.T. Shells preserved and pines photographed. One-half mile E. of house place the red sh rises from tide to nearly 200' and is exposed continuing till near the Ravigersuaak narine when they become barren, thus evidently in other strata - and in --- Terms partly eroded surfaces try are seen To be dark, very dark, flinty gray or even very black and bits out maceros.
