 tliat of Dr. Marshall, for obviously if the Tertiary beds follow the 

 Cretaceous conformably they should rest, not on the basement mica- 

 schists, but on that portion of the Cretaceous from which they are 

 supposed to have been dissevered. 



Dr. Marshall,' when discussing the Shag Point section, lays much 

 stress on the circumstance that the actual contact of the horizontal 

 Tertiaries and uptilted Cretaceous is obscured by recent detritus. He 

 infers all kinds of geological possibilities between the junction, but

 seemingly failing to recognize that the effect of the fault would be to 

 make the two formations abut against one another. Such veteran
