July 13. "Following the line for a distance of about 2 1/2 miles to the north and northeast, one passes through ~ great thicknesses of freemill, red and Haclish shale with thin shreds of sandstone, all steeply dipping edges and cut across by the same. These beds only dip about 60° E. There must be a fault here for the succeeding bed dips N. 5° W., and they form a continuous section of 1357 feet in thickness to the base of the Long Point Series [In the present all of these strata must be added to the Parsons series] "The sequence as measured in detail from the base up is as follows: 200 feet. Dark gray to black sandy shale and thin layers of sandstone, dip near N 60° W, 50° E. 200 feet. Freemill clay, even grained sandstone at base but becoming coarser at 15 feet up and passing into conglomerate with the pebbles mostly the size of peas and consisting of quartz, red feldspar, Haclish chert, dark shale etc. Among these are many scattered pebbles of later age which are angular, many of the latter of local material. They are often 6 with a or acorns. These beds become very massive in the upper half. Many round cannon ball-like concretions from 3 to 8 inches in diameter occur. The upper half of the beds consist of an alternation of bands or lenses of conglomerate and free grained sandstone. The upper beds are much jointed and fractured. Smaller a small headland, Fault 100 feet. Grey fine and even grained Haclish freemill shale, weathering dark red. Dip 45° N, 25° E.
