Aug 7. Parsons Pond young beds are therefore turning the east, here we first meets with the red argillaceous laminated greenish sandstones and sandy shale's and stone. They have many stau- rolagites, polidogonema, lincaulus, etc in several zones through a thicker of about 75 feet. Loom appears a limestone conglomerate in which the shells are small and sub-rounded, and beneath it are thin bedded blue limestones with their interwadded shells. Then follows more Li. congl, probably 20 feet thick but in several zones. At the rid denials there are brick red shales (congl.) of which is plenty in garden beds, into these the ocrels have started and I am told by Mr. Bland and that they penetrate about 30 feet of red shale. Still further down are more Li. congl. like those above, and beneath one greenish shales and sandstones. The total distance across this point examined is about 1 furlong or a little more. doubt as though it was half mile across but to me this is too much. From this evidence it is clear that all of the Palaeozoic strata seen today are of the upper part of the Cow Head conglomerate, and not at all unlike those seen at the Damaris of Paulo Isles. As we went east of the Pond this morning there formed a hill and prominent hump on the south side known as Parsons Pond Hill. There must be some hard rock in it to make this prominence and our surmise is that it has the very hardy Cow Head congl. like that of Loom Head. It seems to be in line of strike with the congl. of Loom Head. Returning to the village we then travelled south along the Gulf shore for a mile to the south side of the marsh where once the sea entered into a that maybe united with Parsons Pond. Pond. The three cliffs show about 5 feet of peat and going what looks
