the passage of the C strata of the last section. Following the 

 course of the brook westward, for a short distance we have shelving 

 strata, having a northerly dip. These are soft and hard, light 

 green and unctuous. They have fossils characteristic of B' of the 

 upper series. We have thus a syncline. 



Passing over a field on an elevation of these strata, we reach 

 diorite, a continuation of that of the preceding section. This 

 contains about 



We have now r reached the eastern branch of Doctor's Brook, 

 which here takes a southerly course, being direct south from the 

 main brook and along our line of section. Succeeding the diorite 

 are quartzites and slates having a very thin bed of oolitic iron ore 

 (hematite). We have come to the red slates of preceding sections. 

 Here they are parted in several places by diorite — before the trifv.r- 

 cation already noticed. After these are slates and quartzites — 

 sections of the mountains on the eastern side of the brook. 



The section terminates with the diorite of Mcintosh's mountain. 

 Beyond this the rocks are obscured. 



Section 5th. — McDonald's Cove to J\IcDougaVs Mountain. 



Commencing at the Point on the east side of the cove, there is 

 first the trap dyke of last section, succeeded by a peculiar green and 

 red jaspideous rock. Then follow' the fossiliferous slates of A. 



After these come the laminated black shales of B. The contour 

 indicates the probable continuance of these and the shales of B up 

 to the rising ground. We pass on to Doctor's Brook. On its 

 north side strata are observed having a northerly dip. The fossil? 

 of these indicate C of the upper series. We are then upon the 

 south side of the Syncline. After these come the B shales of the 

 same side of last section. These are exposed in a section of the 

 elevated ground already referred to. This part is on the bend of the 

 brook formed by the east branch. A strip of interval or meadow 

 extends to the south of the ridge and onward to the preceding 

 section. Along this intervale flows the brook, first on the south 

 side ; it then crosses and flows on the north side. As it flows on
