These conglomerates are clearly iiiterbedded with the ordinary 

 Palaeozoic rocks. They are jointed, so much so, that it is difficult 

 to extract pebbles whole. Joint planes can be traced through 

 the pebbly mudstones and conglomerate, and on one of these a 

 thin vein of quartz has since formed. This quartz vein is most 

 easily seen in the pebbles and can be clearly seen crossing older 

 quartz pebbles. 



Crumpling in the lamination of the finer beds was noticed, but 

 they are not often visibly laminated. At places a pebble is 

 indented by a neighbouring pebble. 



Locality No. 2 is some little distance down the river just before 

 the basalt forms the river bed. The conglomerates are here 

 exposed in a low bank and on the shelving surface of rock near 

 the water and liable to be covered. It is marked on the Quarter- 

 sheet. A conglomerate bed, al)out 15 feet in thickness, contains 

 pebbles similar in shape and material to the others described, the 

 pebbles reaching a size of about 6 inches. Below it is a patch of 

 pebbles at a distance of about 2 feet. About 30 feet further east 

 (higher in the beds) a band occurs of pebbly beds 2 feet 9 inches, 

 congloinerate 2 feet 3 inches, pebbly beds 2 feet, these layers 

 merging into one another. The matrix of the pebbly beds is 

 here more sandy. The pebbles reach to about 9 inches diameter. 



Locality No. 3, on the right bank of the Deep Creek a little 

 above the junction. Here are scattered pebbles, some flat faced, 

 in a compact mudstone matrix. The whole thickness seen was 

 about 8 feet. In it is a band of 7 inches of sandstone without 

 pebbles. Its strike, if continued, would take the beds west of the 

 locality 5. 



Locality No. 4, close to the granite in Deep Creek. All the 

 rocks are much indurated to a hardness comparable with the 

 pebbles and on old surfaces pebbles .seldom stand out and are not 

 easily noticed. The hardness and splintery character of the 

 altered rock makes examination difficult. Some of the pebbles 

 are flat sided ; the largest pebble noticed was of quartz about 8 

 inches diameter. The bed observed hud a thickness of about 10 

 feet, it is close to a large granite dyke. Quartzite with pebbles 

 and a rock, which miglit represent the pebbly mudstones, are also 

 present here, as blocks may be seen in the creek. The general 

 character, so far as was seen, was similar to what might be
