Had to pass my large box this afternoon as the boat is here to -monus morning about 7. I heard from a mechanic late this afternoon that farther around Great Point than I got this morning that "fine shell" occurs as good as any I have. This may be an important clue for Wal- lause points but I fear has no such value. The geologist of gov gives a point locality at Indian Point fully two miles east of Great Point. On the steamer the next morning I noticed that the limestone seen on West Point continues west nearly as far as we arrived at Ellis's camp. From the steamer their color (redish) and general character seems to be that of the Chalco limestone seen at Chase an Basem. The strike of these beds is that of the shore the reason why no other beds came, just before coming to the Carib. conglomerate a short distance of stale appears also belonging to the Silurian. It seems that all the low lying land has a bed Carb. conglomerate from P. Daniel to Bleach Cope. Of course at Pierce it lies as much as 1200 feet above the tide,
