are also of frequent occurrence as noticed in this and preceding 
papers in our Middle and Lower Silurian. They are here per- 
vaded by quartz veins of varying thickness. 
They have also abundance of mica in their constitution. In 
this they differ from porphyrites and diorites observed elsewhere. 
I have no doubt that these, like most others, are igneous rocks, 
and intrusive if not contemporaneous. 
The rocks of Sunday Point have astrike N. E.and S.W. An 
exposure of these with their numerous veins of quartz N. E 
from Sunday Point is a reputed gold field. 
We also examined outcrops of black quartzose rocks in the 
cemetery. These have the same strike, N. E. and 8. W. 
CRANBERRY HEAD. 
Next day Mr. Ryerson took me to this point to see the gold 
mines. I examined outcrops of hornblendic rocks on the way. 
Some of these have been already referred to as occurring at 
Hebron and Ohio, on the line of Railway, the extension of the 
rocks of the latter running in this direction. 
Before reaching the mine we visited the quartz crushing mill 
which was undergoing repairs. Large quantities of quartz from 
the mines were there ready for operations. The mines were 
found to be interesting. The quartz containing the gold did not 
appear different from what I had seen elsewhere. The contain- 
ing rock is decidedly different ; it is very soft magnesian (?) slate. 
Arsenopyrite is very abundant in crystals. The quartz is singu- 
larly free from this mineral, and the gold is rarely visible. I 
received from the superintendent of the mines four specimens 
showing gold very distinctly, associated with Calchopyrite and 
Cube 
JEBOGUE POINT. 
Mr. Ryerson next took me to this locality, where I found a 
very interesting series of rocks, beautifully exposed. I observed 
Ist. The grey quartzites, compact and shaly with quartz 
veins. These have a strike N. 30° ES. 30° W., and a high 
northerly dip.
