DEPOSITION AND EROSION IN BAY OE FUNDY

Irregularit}^ of bedding of a different character which is subsequent in 

 origin to deposition occurs at other localities. The point on the lower 

 side of the junction of the Avon and Saint Ci'oix rivers shows horizontal, 

 contorted, and highly inclined beds, which occur in close relationship to 

 each other (figure 1). The disturbed and contorted beds are here inter- 

 polated between horizontal heds (figure 2). Inspection of figure 2 will 

 show a section of finely laminated liorizontal silts, which, for a thickness 

 of one foot or more near the middle, have been distorted into a highly 

 convoluted zone. This occurrence of contorted strata in the midst of a 

 series of undisturbed horizontal beds appears to duplicate in unconsoli-
