near here. Towards the eastern end of the bay beyond the long rounded area the Triassic appears. It's light red fine grained dirty sandstone with rare an irregular whitish shell or is smelted, Of uniform character throughout. It dips away from the bay a to the north east. Over the top of the Triassic sandstone occurs the trap. At the base of the trap it is a decidedly crys- talline oliviacous trap without any vesicles. The shales beneath the trap are burnt to a whitish color for about 8 feet and then change to a purple hardened shale for 25 feet more before the regular Triassic red clay appears unaltered. On the outer end of the point the trap comes down to the shore. Here it has broken through the sandstone and done in the form of a dilly and has completely altered the sandstone. About 200 feet away where the (Triassic?) remains unaltered there is much secondary gypsum dike as stripes and sheets of 4 or even more inches thick. Farther away this gypsum does not appear. Evidently it is due to the hot nature swirling away from the trap dikes. As one comes around the (? trap dikes) one at once sees vertical and somewhat contorted beds of much hardened considerably and altered beds that appear to be the
