Dentais notes. St Pauls Inlet"
connected with the extensive faulting along the contact with the gneiss.
"Proceeding northward the shore is low and entered with floccial
and lead tondus for a distance of 2 miles to a prominent point about
1 mile east of the southwest corner of the inner bay. At this point the Carr
Head li ceyl. is well exposed for a distance of 100 yards along the
strike. About 6o feet of li. ceyl. beds are here exposed standing vertically on
edge and striking S. 60 W. The conglomerate is coarse, with many tondus
of light gray li., from 2 to 5 feet across.
"The next exposure is a small island a little over a mile
northwest of the last point and about 1/4 mile from the west shore of the bay.
Here exposed shale strata consisting of greenish-black shales and clays,
interbedded with thin bands of compact dark-gray li. and tondus of that.
These beds are somewhat crinkled, the dip varying from 60 to 75 deg S. 50 E.
They have a thickness of 310 feet, occupying a width of 120 yards.
"About 1/4 mile northwest of this island is another rocky point in
the shore composed of about 200 feet of li. ceyl. beds, dipping 42 deg S. 40 deg E.
Further north the shore is low till near the Darrars. A low rocky
ledge about 1/2 mile off the end of the inner of the long peninsulas from
the north shore is made up of heavy layers of li. ceyl. dipping about 35 deg S.
45 deg E.
"Outside the darrars the shores are very low with no other de-
promances except a low hill near the north shore of the middle of the
inner bay. Because of the very shallow water I did not get to this
level bed with the planes, should plainly see the strata of ceyl.
