X0TE8 ON THE GEOLOGY OF THE REGION OF PARKER 8N0W BAY, 

 . GREENLAND 



BY EDMUXD OTIS HO'S'EY 



(Ahstract) 



Parker Snow Bay indents the coast about midway l)etween Cape York and 

 Cape Athal. The southern shore and the outer portion of the nortliern side 

 consist of strongly hornblendic gneisses containing intrusive masses of basic 

 igneous rock. The eastern portion of the northern side is feldspathic gneiss, 

 apparently younger, which contains heavy dikes of basaltic character. The 

 gneisses are generally considered to l)e Archean in age. Over the feldspathic 

 gneiss, in the northeastern quarter of area, begins the series of Huronian (?) 

 quartzites, quartz schists, etcetera, which appear to be well exposed along the 

 coast to a point beyond Etah. Solifluction. terracing, and glaciation were 

 noted. Evidence of comparatively recent elevation was observed. 



Presented in abstract extemporaneously. 

 Society adjourned at about o.30 o'clock p. m.
