45 There seems to be a dike here along, the strike of the slate similar to the others at F 4 1. 46 Strike N. 82 W. 47 Strike N. 85 W. Dip 80 N. Dike Here. The same banded slaty rock. 48 Di[illegible] south of the lens. 49 Dark greenish slate N 80 W= clearance? Dip 70 N. Whether clearance or strike I could not tell. Presum- ably the same as the banded slates nearby. X 54 Granite. X 51 Amygdaloid diabase runs among conglomerate N 63 W 45° N, so even as the strike & dip of red conglomerate can be guessed, down there. X 52. Sledgeham smith bold, E + W about, conglomerate band in the middle N 73 W. 45° N. diabase north of the conglomerate Y 51 A decidedly ferny slaty slate, N 50 E., where from E stranded, 80°- 70° W. The rest of the experience the greater part, is amygdaloid. Y 52 Red conglomerate same as X. 5 1 and 2. A large amount of igneous rocks here included as pebbles & boulders often of large size. The diabase still penetrates the same in larger and dykes although not as frequent or so largely, as at the more eastern localities. Due to a depression between the last con- glomerates and those slates and the strike seems to be different, but it must be re- membered that the strike of the coarse conglomerate can be only indifferently determined. Y 53 Slate Cambrian N 50 E Dip 70 E Y 51 Cambrian slate N 15 W. Dip 85 S, G 6 1 Slate fine E + W. 85 N. Greenish purplish. G 6 2 Slate fine N 75 E 85 N. + vertical Side purplish G 6 5 E + W. Dip 80 N. Purplish G 5 1 Red Cambrian, fissile, N 57 W. (70 S?) G 5 4 Conglomerate, whitish. Not much amygdaloid on another road further north. Injurious.
