at an angle of about 5 degrees. Small bays on either side 

 of point formed in a shaly horizon in Gabriola formation. 



Lock bay. Northumberland shales dipping northwest 

 at an angle of about 15 degrees below Gabriola sandstone. 

 From Locality 1 across northward pitching syncline. 

 Transverse anticline crosses Gabriola syncline, which to the 

 south pitches southeast. 



Locality 2 — Northumberland shales dipping southeast 

 at angle from 10 to 15 degrees, overlain by Gabriola sand- 

 stones, exposed in cliff, one quarter of a mile back from 

 shore. Shales with sandstone interbeds and sandstone 

 dykes. 



Locality 3 — Snake island. Honeycomb and "gallery" 

 weathering of concretionary Gabriola sandstone dipping 

 eastward at an angle of 25 degrees. 



Locality 4 — Islands and headland of Vancouver vol- 

 canics to north, evidently a headland of those rocks 

 that projected into the basin in which the Nanaimo series 

 was deposited. Unconformity, showing irregular surface 

 upon which Nanaimo series was deposited, and coarse 

 basal conglomerates (Benson formation) Departure Bay 

 calcarenites. 



Locality 5 — From 4 across Departure bay, underlain 

 by Haslam, Extension, and Cranberry formations, which 

 have here a minimum thickness. To the west retrogarded 

 inter-glacial deposit. Abrupt downfold in conglo- 

 merate and coarse sandstone of the Cranberry formation. 



Locality 6 — From 5 through Newcastle Island channel, 

 crossing Newcastle and Douglas seams at narrows. Brechin 

 mine of Western Fuel Company to the West, and old slopes 

 on the two seams to the east. 



Quarry in Protection sandstone. 



Along Newcastle Island channel to Nanaimo, near 

 contact of Newcastle and Protection formations. 



East Wellington Mine — Wellington seam reached 

 through an inclined shaft, paralleling an old slope driven 

 on the little Wellington seam. Wellington seam in mine 

 fairly flat, with low dip from 5 to 10 degrees to the north- 

 east, but to the southwest the seam is faulted in a series of 

 steps, and outcrops at the surface to the southwest of the 

 surface plant with a steep dip to the northeast. Sharp 

 rolls or "faults", smooth sandstone floor, but irregular 

 sandy shale roof, in places overturned. Few small rolls 

 in sandstone floor. Faults in southern part of the mine.
