J31 At the next northern junction of conglomerate then red slate, 3 feet. N 80 E., strike south. Then coarse conglomerate, towards the south an conglomerate shielded by a slaty cement, and next a fine real slate comes in with its strike N 65 E. dips 25 S. other slate is banded. South and west of this the rock is all melaphyre itself split by large diabase dykes.
J42 Conglomerate rather coarse in the depression in a valley between the conglomerate region and the melaphyre hill on the east.
J43 Coarse conglomerate with melaphyre pebbles and felsite, red.
J44 Coarse conglomerate. Reddish in general with felsite, melaphyre, etc.
J45 Much granite.
J46 Granite.
J47 Granite on the west and coarse conglomerate on the east. There is a contact here but with the short time spent here I think the evidence was considerably in favor of the conglomerate not deriving pebbles from the granite. But sections are needed to establish this.
J48 Coarse conglomerate.
J49 Coarse conglomerate.
J50 Coarse conglomerate
J51 Coarse conglomerate
J52 Coarse conglomerate with coarse granite and melaphyre pebbles and a melaphyre as a dyke in faulted on the north side.
J31 This whole desert is melaphyre - amygdaloid.
J41 On this promontory is coarse conglomerate, one coarse granite boulder is 3 ft. X 2 1/2 diameters. The melaphyres and felsites are all well represented. A melaphyre dyke is on the south west end. The first satisfactory signs of stratification were found low. The strike is 54 W. and the dips 75 S. Over this exposure it seems by large enough to determine the dip for the whole region but on another edge of the promontory is another melaphyre dyke.
J422 Granite, coarse in abundance.
J423 Greenish melaphyre.
