for 1/4 mile along one of the points must the interbedded deposits
in the conglomerate series. I saw no fossils being found in
these thin bedded limestone or in the shale.
On the north side of Martin Point we saw a fine exposure
of the conglomerate series. In the conglomerates, the limestone
joints are thickened beds, never in large masses as in Cow Head
Head, and the beds of conglomerates are regularly bedded.
Between them are the thin bedded limestones and shales.
The grain are very about 20 feet thick. There are also thinner
shales. These are indigenous deposits and are not transported
rock of foreign material. No fossils were seen though there
should have been some from the character of the beds.
East of Martin Point the strike is N.70 E., dip 50 N.
At Martin's Point appears mostly N.40 E., dip 30 S. There thus
appears to be an arc here.
Today we saw nothing in the way of large masses of limestone
in the Crag, as at Cow Cove. The pieces are all small and the

Martin's Point.
We stayed one night at Sally Cove, which is 4 miles north
of Green Point, at Morris. A school teacher her
