J. 3. 1 Banded grey slate like that of Racoorn Island,
N84 E dip 80 S. Most prominent cleavage
N65W, dip 72S. About 115 steps across the
strike of slate, all parallel;
J 3 2 Thinly cleared slate of dark purplish grey coln, in
some respects like the slate in the R.R. cut at Waymouth.
N84 E dip 80 S. This cleaved slate was apparently
banded at one time; a little further north it
is readily seen that the slate was banded, cut by
a dyke N 45 west, width 3 feet. Thirty seven
steps across the strike to bare exposure at top
side, two dykes in the plane of the slate, 15' in clus,
widths; evidently a faulted single dyke, A
third dyke not in line north the next but also
following its strike belongs to a different appa-
rent. The exposure is a long one.
K 3 1 The dark colored banded slate of J,3,2. N 82 E,
dip vertical, many dykes intrusions parallel to bed,
ding dip vertical a 85 S.
Further east for a long stretch the strike is N 70E
dip 85 S. The banded structure is also well exhibit ed
still further E, strike N 63 E ?5S,
K 3 2 Strike N 76 E dip 85 S.
K 3 3 Strike N 85 E dip 85 S.
K 3 4 Strike N 74 E dip 85 S,
K 3 5 Strike N 72 E dip 65S
Numerous dykes of whorish coln, transient to,
both with the strike and cutting across the
course occur on this isolated slate Island.
K 4 1 A ledge above water at low tide only. The
Cambrian red conglomerate and sand-
stone clearly a sandstone, two purple color
striata into almost absent, at other times pres-
ent. Strike E+W. dips southward I think.
L 4 1 The red Cambrian conglomerate but with lost
the red coln. Strike E+W. dip, 45 S. At this
particular locality bands of sandstone
intervene in the conglomerate, especially
towards the bottom. An E+W where dyke
cuts across the strike dipping 45o to the
North.
L 4 2 Red Cambrian conglomerate with landstone
intercalated. Strike E+W. dip 45 S. Sandstone
bands present, alt.
