fragments of fish. The coprolites are from i to \\ inches in length, 

 an inch wide, and half an inch thick. In 1913, Haycock found a 

 portion of the head of a fish which has been identified by Mr. L.M. 

 Lambe as the Triassic genus, Semionotus fultus (Agassiz) .

Fig. 30. — Map of the Digby-Rossway region 



Victoria Beach, on the east side of Digby Gut (Fig. 30). The 

 exposures on the west side of the Gut are disturbed by faulting. 



The section of North Mountain basalt, except the lower flow, 

 which appears at the side of Digby Gut, commences on the Bay 

 of Fundy s^ore, where 7 flows may be seen (see Fig. 31), each hav- 

 ing a thickness ranging from 2 to 45 feet. All the flows dip toward 

 the Bay of Fundy at a low angle, as seen in Fig. 32, but this uniform 

 slope is in places interrupted by minor folds. The presen.ce of a 

 low syncline and the lack of exposures make the exact thickness of 

 the lower flow uncertain, but it is probably about 600 feet.
