June 8 is the equivalent of the Table Head sandstone Division 15. It is f[illegible] alone and apparently at once ( can not be certain of this because of a little fault, that may have broke in to) of June 8 seen at the fault by the Cow Head conglomerate, or Cowhead Cong. Hamley gives the thickness as 30 ft. fut it is certainly 300 ft. and maybe even 500 ft. thick. It is exposed along the shore for at least one mile, and the strike is a little transverse to the shore, and at times even 10 to 75 degrees. Here the limestone conglomerate (Cow Head equivalent 16) is composed of the same angular pieces of limestone dec hardly worn. The pieces are small but we saw blocks of limestone up to three feet across and of the sandstone June 8 one piece 4 ft. long. Another piece was shorter. We also saw 2 Maclureas and two sponges as pebbles
