up to York Redoubt Point. As the granite retreats on the north 
side of Falkland Village, the gneissoid rocks dip toward it, seeii- 
ingly into it, not away from it. There is no anticline. On the 
shore the rocks are very ferruginous. Pyrite is found in them 
in large crystals. Some of the strata are very andalusitic. The 
mineral is in slender, pearly prisms. These are often arranged 
in stellar forms. One stratum is covered with these. In York 
Redoubt, the strata which is seen to overly the granite which 
rises on the south side of the fort, have a northerly dip and are 
very andalusitic. The extension of the shore andalusitic strata 
in the granite bay, are schists without andalusite. This is their 
character near the Junction with the granite. In the section 
south of the Redoubt pier, is another kind of rocks which are 
hard to characterize; they might be called a quartzite. In these 
are abundance of discinoid forms. I am very doybtful regarding 
their character. I find them in three other localities to which I 
will yet refer. The inclination of strata is low and its direction 
doubtful until it is decidedly westerly, and towards the associate 
granite. The granite then comes into the section and alternates 
with the stratified rocks. At the Point the latter make their 
exit, and then the granites are the only shore rocks. I have 
reason to suppose that the stratified rocks appear again at Portu- 
guese Cove. At the Point the stratified rocks have a slight 
easterly inclination. The junction of these with the granite is 
very interesting. The two are seen ‘dove-tailing, but not blend- 
ing. A museum specimen shows this in a striking manner. The 
stratified part is banded with a right angled termination; another 
piece is pointed. The granite seems to have been inserted by 
fusion. In the discinoid part there are long veins of quartz 
with mica. I regard these phenomena as having been induced 
by re-metamorphism. 
Iam here reminded of an observation which I made on the 
Nepisigit river, on the Bay des Chaleurs, New Brunswick. Vide

tions of New Brunswick.” 
At the “ Rough Waters” we have the junction of the granite 
and the Bonaventure formation (Lower Carboniferous), granite,
