As we proceed around the rounded point into Spicer Cove we come upon more red coarse sometimes with granite pottles, pye somestimes and some green and iron carbmacious shale. The dip and strike remain as before. From here the strike would carry us to the south side of Spicer core and but little if any beds can come in before getting to the carbmaccious bed seen yesterday on the south side of Spicer Cove. There is now a long low dome that probably has shale in it and further south round at the stream there is at lastly another red coarse somestime with granite pottles and decidedly iron bedded. It has about the same dip and strike as the previous sandstone. Now forming still lower down and then the carlmac- and green shale Cone, shales see yesterday. Le green appears like the other more of the aleovite shifts seen yesterday. Red 271 antithine here positive suture carbma- calcum shales.
