August 19. Hank's Bay, North-shore continued. To get the structure and sequence of the north shore into better harmony with the south shore denton and Edwards revised the forms, Denton's notes are as follows (They continue three days 160-162): "On the first part of the first cove west of Horse Island seem heavy tedded dark fluvial-pay dol. with many small circles of dol. Slip 6 N. 70 W. They strike nearly along shore for about 1/4 mile. Thickness about 75 ft. [These are of Beekmantown age, but no fossils were seen.] To the east is an unexploded interval of 300 yards, but the above dol. forms a bluff on the timbered shore in the first part of this distance not more than 100 yards. Where line of the faults] and there it is much fretted. [In a straight line across the strata the distance may be about 1/3 mile] The next exposure at a little point over a cove west of the whole factory is formed by heavy beds of dense fluvial-pay fine grained diolomitic li. standing in edge. Slip, 75 N. 70 W. This is mostly done about dol. weathering tuft-geller. Some of these show banding. Thickness exposed 290 ft. [This is undoubtedly the S.O. though not for sure because, the next fault line in the west of it over the Beekmantown] This trip is into there. The next exposure is 200 yards across the cove. Here the cove is fluvial grey dense and fine grained may. li. that weathering gell-wrink, in layers 3 to 15 moks thick. The beds are nearly all sin-cracked on the surfaces, and some are riffled. Introp. cogl. is ex- trémely common. Slip: 8 N. 50 W. These beds gently undulate or that we first descend through a thickness of 20 feet and then ascend again through the same to the whole factory, and then descend again at the same Thickness. From here on the same layers practically forms the crest for a mile or so to the bottom of the big cove. It undulates gently. The
