Q.4.5 This is intended to locate another ridge,
passing south of the last, and is composed
entirely of the greenish or bluish-green diabase,
only. At least I found no conglomerate
during my short search here. All these
two ridges are separated from each other
by low nearly depressions having a direc-
tion of N 38 W.
Q.4.6 is not separated with the same distinct-
ess from Q.4.5 indeed I doubt whether any
facts can remain here to be brought out. If thus
or any its directions & N 70 W. which is also
the direction of that ridge of Q.4.5. became a
fault depression lies in line with the
northern edge of the diabase ridge, towards
the south of which the conglomerate exposure
of Q.4.6 are found. No diabase was visited.
here.
Q.4.1 Just at the landing northeast of the house. Black
ish grey slate, same as at G.7.1 and Walleston
Hight. Strike N 80 W. dip 70 N. to 85 N. The
slate is banded towards the south. more near-
sive farther inland. Then banded again. Just
east of it came 20 feet is some of the rock I called
massive slate, which looks like argillite. On
both sides of this sheet at catified slates are much
contorted and there are included contorted
slates. It would be called a dyke here I think.
but it will look and break like argillite. What
is the meaning of the included contorted pieces.
Q.4.2 Strike banded slate along shore. fine exposure.
N 85 W. Dip 80 N. Warren's argillite farther is land.
Q.4.3 Strike of banded rock fine long exposure. N 80 W.
dip 70 N. - 80 N.
Q.4.4 The slate extends out into the sea in ledges un-
der the water for 100 feet at least, keeping up
its strike. This is the place to go to see contorted
strata still preserving their general strike
with great accuracy. Dip northward 80-75.
N 80 W. The contortion of the included banded
slates in the more massive argillite, in very
estimation one are nothing.
Q.4.5 There seems to be a dike here along, the strike of
the slate similar to the others at G.7.1.
Q.4.6 Strike N. 80 W.
Q.4.7 Strike N. 85 W. Dip 80 N. Dike there. The same
