in the conglomerate. Be followed this shore in about 3 1/2 miles where the basal contorted and faulted shales of Stanley's give way more seen. Tremblaye's give graphite in 10 and I some in give 11. Beyond these beds Stanley notes no more fossils. It is now positive that there is here along the east coast of Newfoundland one great pre- thrust faulting as is assumed by Gilliel. The structure is that of a normal sequence with at least 2 breaks (between 2 and 3 and 14-15?), one orated period of elevation along a fault plane (14-15)? and general folding after the Carboniferous periods as it is folded like the other Paleozoic strata. Then for them must have been local folding and metamorphism when the diorite masses where intruded, during the Appalachian Folding.
