In the dark shales of the upper part of the Green Point section there are occasional thin limestones and once nearly a thin conglomerate zone. Usually these limestones are gray and sometimes text decidedly while the shales are not grayer but are plaine. One of these limestones about one inch thick was clearly sun-cracked and on smell or with the edges of the prisms were elevated or that threated or edge had a thickness of 1/2 to 2 inches. This is a clear case of long sun drying. The other way beds did not appear on their edges for here and once their character to the graces of that sea. Further there was no evidence of sun cracking. The northeastern point of Lobster Cove shows in the lower part of the section here a series of dark to black then bedded to Jopery shales with some greenish sandstones like those seen by Towerkful in Hallings Bay. Higher the shales give gray to one and one of the greenish sandstone but from here we sees an occasional thin zone of the characteristic conglomerate. The dips here is from 40 to too degrees in the direction of about 10 degrees east of south. The strata are here more disturbed than farther northeast. Crumpling and crushing becomes once and once marked as we proceeds to Catt Point Lighth. Some metamorphic changes are also noticeable as the appearance of flint zones. Towards the Lighthouse point the greenish sandstones predominate again. No conglomerates are seen here. It is therefore apparent that the change from Dir 15 to 76 is a gradual one and
