and important to note that both east and west of Paterson the state of affairs is 

 as follows: The Paterson toscanite is found making the feature, in most cases a 

 broken ridge, dipping at any angle from 15° to 40°; following the dip-slope of 

 the lava, tillites and varves are found generally giving rise to land of moderate 

 relief, exceptionally helping to form the ridges, and occasionally registering re- 

 liable dips about the same as the underlying toscanite. The succeeding outcrops 

 of Permo-Carboniferous strata are frequently sporadic and in no case productive 

 of reliable dips, until in some instances, as south of Webber's Creek a good dip 

 is found -when one is well into the Permo-Carboniferous Series. In every ease of 

 measurement, the dips of the Permo-Carboniferous rocks were less than those of 

 the Kuttung rocks. If conformity exists, one must postulate monoclinal flexures 

 all along the feet of the ridges west and east of Paterson, with the exception, of 

 coui-se, of Dunn's Creek. Further towards Seaham it is hopeless to expect a 

 section showing the passage, and things are far from satisfactory at Seaham 

 itself.

Text-fig. 3. Sketch Map showing the relations between the folding in the Kuttung 

 Series and Permo-Carboniferous System. 



This matter has been given full description above since it is an important 

 one, and since a study of the structure in the Permo-Carboniferous and Kuttung 

 provinces leads to some interesting information. The sketch-map (Text-fig-ure 3) 

 indicates the plan of the outcrops of the Paterson toscanite, the junction of the
