seam or thin stratum in micaceous schist, which, according 
to Capt. Campbell, is common to most. of the rocks from 
Bradore to this places The quartz of this aggregate projects 
in ribs, as it were, from both the otherwise flat surfaces of the 
seam. Itis white, translucent and compact. The calcare~ 
ous spar is also white, but its laminar structure, greatly in- 
ferior fiardness, and violent effervescence in acid, remove 
any doubt as to its nature. 
The micaceous schist alluded to abeve, rises ia steps to a 
considerable height from the water; nothing is known of its 
stratification, but only that it is associated with granite of a 
beautiful description, composed of white decomposing felspar, 
silver mica, and grey quartz, the felspar being occasionally 
stained or invested by a mineral of abrick red colour. 
Granite, contalning large crystals of black mica, was also 
brought from an island near Square Island harbour, 
A granite, in which the felspar greatly predominates in 
large crystals ‘of a white colour, was found to be the prevailing 
rock at Cape Charles, Battle harbour, and lying above one of 
a sparkling character, (micaceous schist ?) 
A very siliceous limestone occurs at Bradore. An indurat- 
ed calcareous tufa, probably derived from the disintegration 
of the foregoing limestone, is found incrusting pebbles lyiug 
in the sea at this place. 
A beautiful aggregate, composed of flesh coloured crystals 
of felspar and green hornblende, a syenite, was observed, 
forming veins about one foot wideia a rock, which is describ- 
ed as being dark and of a bluish colour, (basalt ?) 
On an islet called Castle Reef Rock, in Henley harbour, 
Chateau Bay, a rock, composed of a mixtnre of felspar of a 
dark purplish grey colour, a very fusible green hornblende, 
and grey quartz, occurs, apparently, underlying basalt. ‘The 
felspar is remarkable for the almost splenleut scan metallic 
lustre
