"This at North Point Left one is in the lower part of Dir. 16. In Division 16 Logan states "Greenish sandstone of chloritic aspect, made of apparently fine grains of quartz and feldspar, with a few scales of mica, mixed with greenish argillaceous matter? To me the chloritic character is not due to the changes these sandstones have undergone, but is derived from the land (probably Long Range) of that time. We have four samples of the rock and they should be examined for the chloritic character. In several places along Rocky (Roke) Mountain one sees the greenish sandstone of Dir. 16 but in striking across County from here to Morris Point [Reddy] starting the County is buried under the black soil and gravel. Arrived at Morris Point at 6 P.M., stopping at Mrs. Kennedy's. The scenery here is beautiful and very romantic. High hills and iron mountains in all sides.
