elevations, did sea cliffs form cliffs facing the pounding sea. This cliff
and its slope took it a minute ero faster more above the present sea
level.
In resume one can see that the Redman Tm is not less than
1348 feet thick and that it gradually goes on into the lower sand-
stone series with an thickness of 385 feet and the base not seen.
All must be regarded as one series. If there is any Cambrian in
it we do not have the evidence from the faunal side.
In Ships Cove Isaac a diomite gone in the sandstone
series that fall @milea in it from one inch to 1/2 inches across.
This horizon is just only in the upper part of the lower 200 feet seen
in Finleys Cove.
As far as we have now seen all of the Ordovician formations
from northy Romaine North - Portan Pate to Ships Cove have a faint
uniform dip to the south. They seem to rise a little to the north
but this may be local for the Ships Cove area or rather due to the fact
that this place is more striking than the places to the east and west of it.
If Finleys map is correct with the oldest formation about Cape St.
these older hills
Sengey - maybe due to the same anything at some time of the penin-
sula or that the hills actually pitch a little to the north. Evidently the
same anything we go about Portan Pate the higher the formations in the
galped scale. This of course barring the faults that may duplicate
the photos.
