are not crumpled and as they may be traced in the extreme 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 bedding of the Crag, in our district and especially so at Martin's Point. We stayed one night at Sally Cove, which is 4 miles north of Green Point, at Morris. A school teacher her g by name of Miss Carson of Harve de Grace, E. O'Hdl.
