continues into the Blanche peninsula, where mica schists 

 with small garnets and occasional staurolites outcrop at Blanche 

 and on the western side of the peninsula. In both places the 

 strike was within a few degrees of due N-S, and the dip in 

 the latter case 33 E. It is probable that the axis of an open 

 syncline underlies Blanche as show r n in the section, Fig. 2. 



(F?g. 2.) 



John Island, west of the Blanche peninsula, is underlain by 

 staurolite schists striking N 30 E and dipping 40 S. 



At Port Clyde dark mica schist interbedded with micaceous 

 quartzite forms an anticline with its axis striking N 20 E. 

 Near Villagedale, on the western side of the Baccaro Penin- 

 sula, highly micaceous quartzite reappears striking N 15 E 

 to N 15 W and dipping at a very high angle eastward. This 

 is probably the same quartzite as at Port Clyde, appearing 

 on the limb of a syncline. At Villagedale the quartzite is 

 highly contorted by the granite which outcrops a short dis- 

 tance to the north. The large amount of muscovite and 

 bibtite and the small garnets in the rock were formed by re- 

 crystallization at the time of the granitic intrusion. Similar 

 quartzite is reported by Dr. Bailey on the south eastern end 

 of Cape Sable Island, indicating that part of that island con- 

 sists of granite. 



Near Port LaTour quartzite outcrops in several places but 

 does not show any bedding. On the islands to the south, a 

 number of roches moutonnees are found in which staurolite 

 schist is exposed. The staurolites are about an inch in length
