Diagram 2.—Section in Ira Woodworth Bay. 
In the shore cliffs four distinct formations are revealed and 
in the ascending order they occur as follows :— 
1. Trap Rock. 
2. Sandstone and Impure limestone, 20-30 feet. 
3. Boulder clay with striated stones in irregular masses, 
20-30 feet. 
4, Stratified sand and gravel 4 to 6 feet in thickness about 
thirty feet above high water mark. 
Trap Rock. 
The Basaltic Trap is, in this locality mainly amygdaloidal 
and occurs in sheets varying from two or three to many feet in 
thickness. The strike corresponds to the general trend of the 
shore. In many places the beds are intersected by a network 
of shrinkage cracks which have been subsequently filled with a 
dark reddish brown jasper. This is more resistant than the 
trap and the veins forma network of intersecting ridges separat- 
ing saucer shaped depressions a foot or more in diameter. As 
the Trap approaches its contact with the limestone it becomes
