massive limestone conglomerate. This la-l crops out also on the coast 

 at Cape Prescott, and bv its presence there along the strike of the 



limestone beds of Norman Lockyer Island, throws light upon the tectonic 



disturbances to which the district has been subjected. The line of these 

 disturbance- is indicated again on the west side of Kranklin Pierce I lay. 

 where the beds of the limestone conglomerate, dipping vertically to the 

 strike from the altitude of Cape Harrison, are cut off by a dark grey 



limestone broken down to the coiisislencv of a breccia. 





 Feilden and De Ranee also mention a disturbance proceeding east- 



\\est\vards from Norman Lockyer Island. As regards the strati graphical 

 position of the beds on the north side of Princess Marie Hay. the 

 views of these discoverers differ from those of Si m;i, in that they con- 

 tend that the conglomerate from Cape Prescott is "the basement conglo- 

 merate", whilst SCHEI'S studies appear to prove that it is a younger 

 conglomerate-horizon, the stratigraphic position of which is above the 

 limestone of Norman Lockyer Island. 



R. P. WIHTFIELI) in his previously mentioned work. Observations 

 and Descriptions of Arctic Fossils", describes from the limestone 

 from Cape Harrison Receptacidites. Halysites, Heliolites, Calapcecia, 

 and Stromatopora which according to him gives as recent an age as the 

 Niagara or Clinton period. These fossils must then presumably have 

 been taken from a comparatively high horizon. 



Unfortunately we have no fossil collections from SCHEIE'S excur- 

 sions, either from the northern districts or from other localities in 

 these regions beyond those already mentioned. 



Nor are we able to report anything more of note from his diaries 

 as to geological observations of the sedimentary beds in these re- 

 gions. 



One river protil which was made on the north side of the inner 

 part of Flagler Bay, shows extremely fremient faults by which I lu- 

 st rata here consisting of limestone, calcareous sandstone, and limestone 

 conglomerate, are divided into numerous pieces. 



With regard to the sedimentary rocks and their distribution it is 

 mentioned that Flagler Hav is entirelv surrounded bv them, whilst 



J 



around Heilslad Hay they are only found on the summits. The huge 

 diabase intrusions which occur easterly on I '.ache peninsula appear to 

 be lacking in these westerly regions. 



On the south side of Hayes Sound the stratified rocks cannot be 

 discovered except in Mount Carev.
