3. Greenish-gray and reddish nibbly argil-

ticular layer of fine greenish sandstone 1 5 



5. Red and green fine flags 2 6 



6. Greenish and reddish very fine sand-

7. Light gray verj- fine massive sandstone 



with pebbly patches, but no coarse

Beyond the bluff at which this section ends, 

 conglomerate is again cut out in a cove, but the red 

 band reappears on the next point, where the under- 

 lying sandstone is, however, somewhat pebbly, but 

 only in places, for on the whole there is a distinct 

 improvement in the texture. On the point west of 

 Birch Cove the thickness of the sandstone was 

 found to be forty-seven feet; on the next headland, 

 forty-five feet six inches as above, whereas on the 

 point near McCarren Cove, the lower part has 

 turned into the section as continued below : 



16. Red argillaceous shale . 9

layers of greenish arenaceous rock 5

19. Greenish-gray arenaceous shale passing at the 



bottom into greenish, coarse, pebbly sandstone, 

 with coal veins, two inches and downward, in 

 gashes in the rock 10 



20. Gray sandstone of fine texture almost fit for grind- 



stone, but with pebbly patches in some of the mass- 

 ive layers. The lower part, passes into conglom- 

 erate 15
