lation of this section with the Vilhigc section, altiiough the 

 sequence here is norniul and not reversed, as follows : — 



Granite and felsite, witli outliers of nielaphy r. Conglomerate 

 (1), not observed. Melaphyr (2), 140 feet (niininiuin) . 

 Conglomerate (3), medium to coarse puddingstone, very much 

 coarser and thicker than in the Village section, 175 feet. 

 Shite (4), not exposed, but represented by a depression, (55 (?) 

 feet. Fine conglomerate alternating repeatedly with sandstone 

 (5), 170 feet. The broad outcrop soutli and east of Portuguese 

 Lane shows that this is a complete mixture or blending of 

 coarse sandstone and fine conglomerate ; while in the Village 

 section there are two distinct beds — 40 feet of conglomerate 

 without sandstone and 100 feet of sandstone without conglome- 

 rate. Purplish and gray slate ((i), jirobably 100 feet. 

 Concealed by kames and swamj) ; and only one outcrop, east 

 of P(n-tuguese Lane. Conglomerate (7), 35 feet. A single 

 ledge on the west side of the lane, passing south into the 

 solitary outcrop of the next bed. Red slate (8), 40 feet. 

 This crosses the lane just north of the point where it divides ; 

 and a few yards east of the junction is the principal exposure 

 of the next stratum. Fine conglomerate and sandstone (9), 

 50 feet. Red slate (10), not ex[)Osed, but there is room 

 between the nearest outcrops of conglomerates and 11 for 25 

 or 30 feet of slate. Conglomerate (11), fine but without nnich 

 sandstone, about 80 feet ; forms extensive ledges east of the 

 lane. Red slate (12), about 50 feet ; several good outcrops 

 east of the lane. Fine conglomerate and sandstone (13), a 

 broad belt of uncertain width. If correctly mapped, the 

 thickness must I)e about 300 feet. The more prominent ledges 

 are chiefly fine conglomerate ; but there is undoubtedly a large 

 proportion of sandstone. Outcrops, it will be observed, are 

 almost wholly wanting in the southern half of this belt ; and 

 the southern limit is quite uncertain. Gray slate (14), of un- 

 known thickness. The exposures begin near the north shore of 

 Beal's Cove ; and along the shore of the river the outcrop is con-
