444 PROCEEDINGS OP THE GEOLOGICAX SOCIETY. [Mar. 28, 



38. Crystalline calcite, a portion of a vein. 



39. Thinly laminated caleareo- argillaceous sandstone. 



In Mussell Bay, ten miles south of Yerlegen Hoek, they found 

 mica-slate with an eastern dip generally 70°, but sometimes more. 

 At Red Beach, further west, they found a clay-slate of a brownish- 

 red colour. 



Specimen from Red Beach. 



36. A red argillaceous sandstone with scales of mica. 

 Eastward from Verlegen Hock they entered Beverley Bay. 

 Specimens from Beverley Bay. 



18. Granite, with flesh-red orthoclase-felspar. 



19. Granite, with white orthoclase-felspar. 



20. Granular quartz-rock. 



They then entered Waigatz Strait, and moored in an extensive 

 Bay, called in an old Dutch chart Treuenberg Bay, where they 

 wintered, on the eastern shore, at a spot to which they gave the 

 name of Hecla Cove. The depth of water was 13 fathoms, with a 

 bottom of very tenacious blue clay. On the east side of the bay, 

 they found beds of schistose quartz, nearly approaching to sand- 

 stone, and chiefly of a pale-red colour. Beds of clay-slate also occur, 

 of a greenish-grey and brick-red colour. 



Specimens from Hecla Cove. 



21. Grey fine-grained quartz-rock with laminae of silvery mica. 



22. 23. Quartz-rock. 



24. Granular quartz with mica. 



25. White saccharoid limestone. 



26. Laminated quartzose rock, interstratified with clay-slate. 



27. Mica-slate with garnets. 



28. Grey compact quartzose rock with a few scales of mica. 



29. 30. Quartzose argillaceous slate, the laminae having a shining 



surface, and exhibiting cleavage nearly at right angles to the 

 bedding-planes . 



31. Quartzose siliceous slate with much mica. 



32, 33. Greenstone or diorite. 



34. Bed and grey variegated argillaceous sandstone. 



35. A crust of peroxide of iron. 



A specimen (No. 7) was sent, labelled " Poster's Island, Beachey 

 Bay;" but no place by that name is mentioned in the ' Narrative.' 

 It is a crystalline rock composed of hypersthene and felspar. 



On every part of the northern coast on which tbey landed, they 

 found drift-wood. Some of the trees had then- roots attached, and 

 were not less than 18 inches in diameter; all were of the Pine tribe.
