From these narrations although imperfect it is evident that the Brindon series appears at the end of Logans section and not in it as many have assumed. Further as the strata of Black Point dips in the reverse direction from those to the north of Downing Creek and with the same strike and low inclination that we have at Mill Cure the apex of a flat an- ticline. Logans just syncline therefore here comes to an end and passes over into a just arch. The rocks of Black Point in all probability are somewhere in the upper part of Logans divisions & further north the topmost beds that have the limestone enplo- ments. This matter can easily be worked out by Bell who will do or during the summer. What the relation of the Brindon series is to the Jogging series we do not yet know but it will in all probability turn out to be one of angular unconformity. Tomorrow are go by rail to Oorakatu and then by carriage south to Hardledge which is at the peninsula opposite Joggins Mines.
