 6 inches. 



9. 6 inches : sandstone in thin layers. 



10. 1 inch: shale. 



11. 18 inches : fine white sandstone.

18. 3 feet : white sandstone. 



19. 2^ feet : splintery shale. 



20. 10 inches : soft sandstone shale.

 debris. 



22. White soft sandstone, 3 feet. 



23. Splintery shales, 6 feet. 



24. Fine-grained brownish sandstone, 5 feet. Dip 27J°. 



25. Shaly beds, intermixed with some thin sandstones and hard 

 shale, covered with debris. I estimated the depth of these beds 

 to be about 150 feet. 



26. 4 feet : white sandstone. 



27. 60 feet : splintery shale.

31. 3 feet : shales. 



32. 5 feet : white sandstone. 



33. 28 feet : black splintery shales. 



34. 4 feet : shales. 



35. Brown sandstone, exposed here and there, but the section 

 for about 150 feet is concealed by debris. 



36. White sandstone was here exposed in either cliff, about 

 30 feet as far as could be seen. Dip 40°. 



Here a dyke of trap (A) intersected the beds right across the 

 ravine, in a course N. 43° E. Mag., standing out in wall-like 

 masses of an average breadth of 12 feet, the angle about 5°. 



37. Brownish sandstone. Dip as above. Partly concealed by 

 debris. Where in contact with the trap, this sandstone was but 

 little altered. In some cases it enclosed small pieces of the trap. 

 This sandstone has altogether, on either side of the dyke, an 

 average thickness of 30 feet. 



38. Here, on the opposite (south) side of the ravine, were 

 several feet of shales interbedded with seams of coal and sandstone. 

 Not traced on the north side on account of debris. 



39. Hard fine sandstone, 3 feet. 



40. Soft crumbling shales, 16 feet. 



41. Thin seam of sandstone ; scaly sandstone, with black
