"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.
