"reverses around here, then again out on peat plains. St. Georges is a considerable sized fishing village. Considerable "E" - "Ordovician" is exposed along the railway line reaching Birchy Cove. These we must see later. Along the eastern side of Georges Lake near its northern end one sees much red strata apparently standing on end. It appears to be Ordovician as the Cambrian mounds farther to the east. Around Birchy Cove on both sides of the Hummocks, the topography is rugged but none of the hills go over a certain general level. This ancient peneplain known is not so plain here as in southeastern Newfoundland. That this is the old "Cretaceous" peneplain accentuated is probable maybe seen from the fact that the higher hills attain to a level probably nearly 700 feet above the sea inspective of the hardness of their strata. Thus during a hard heavy red bed quartzite are no higher than others having red softing slates. The maroon softing slates are somewhat metamor- phosed and considerably squeezed but complete slate schistosity is not developed. Saw no fossils other than very faint traces of probable forerits. The heavy bedded quartz - conglomerate beneath is all torn apart and jointed with all the spaces filled by secondary vein quartz. In the slates one sees only little of the vein quartz.
