"The Parson sandstone strikes into the land and must make the shore north into Parson Pond. Trouthful describes the dip of the sandstone as increasing from 65 to nearly vertical at the Pond entrance. When at the Pond we must go south for a mile or more to see these relations. North of Lone Head where we saw the actual contact between the Parson sandstone and the Cow Head li. cysl., the contact is an irregular one. The irregularities seem to be as great as 20 feet at least and on it followed less often small lready li. cysl. and more often the thin bedded over those the bedded tri. cysl. of smooth agates, and then the partmen. Phlegraphites thin bedded li. cysl. scales, the top of the Parson sandstone is somewhat disturbed in that the Cow Head cysl. moved upon it during the time of the deformation twisting some of the top layers. That no fault occurs at this contact and least me if no importance is seen in the fact that the Parson sandstone is not fractured and does thrust by veins of quartz. It seemed to us best to interpret the phenomena as one of con- this meaning because there is no transition from one to the other, the layers comes shut once. tact and with a time break between. How long this time interval lasted can be interpreted from other evidence. The getting erosion in grain of the Parson sandstone upward and with down to the granite, at least me give if conglomerate made up of the older beds seems to be inphetic of the deformation that lead to the cracking of the Cow Head cysl. The rising land kept out the sea for a time and then came in again after the main red cysl. gne was laid down. That the Parson sandstone can not be included in the Cow Head cycle is seen in that there is no transition from one into the other. On the other hand than a transition from the Tattle Head series into the Parson sandstone at Tattle head. It should be emphasized that the Parson sandstone in its general characters remains much of the "Celtic" sandstone of the cranegatual the Harford and Bonne Bay series. deria and of the Bonne Bay series. Therefore it links itself up directly with
