 (In the exact strike of the lower gypsum above men- 

 tioned, in its course to Hebert River, there is a sink- 

 hole about half way, in which gypsum has been found 

 by excavation ; and where the strike would come upon 

 the Hebert, a mass of the mineral, apparently in situ, 

 is seen in the bank, with red shale on both sides of it. 

 At such a distance to the north of this mass as gives 

 a vertical thickness of 300 feet of subjacent red shale, 

 there is exposed a deposit of limestone, which, with 

 some associated strata, appears to be about 100 feet 

 thick; and this may, therefore, be considered as ter- 

 minating the foregoing section. The limestone con- 

 tains organic remains, among whidi there is, in some 

 abundance, a bivalve shell, which I recognize as iden- 

 tical with the Producta Lyelli of Windsor, in JSTova 

 Scotia.)
