A hundred feet further down the hill are hard red sand- 

 stones, and from that point west the bluff is composed of 

 shale and clay of the Sillery formations, this being appa- 

 rently the point of exit of the fault which enters the bluff 

 at Wolfe's Cove on the St. Lawrence side of the city. 



Returning up the hill, on a path at the right side of the 

 street formed by the junction of the two hill streets, may 

 be seen a thin bed of limestone conglomerate between 

 layers of the shales. A limestone conglomerate in the 

 Lorraine is a very unusual thing, probably never notec. 

 outside this particular area. 



From this point also, a good view may be had of the 

 broad, flat-bottomed, deserted channel of the St. Lawrence, 

 a branch of which once flowed to the north of the city. 



SPECIAL POINTS OF INTEREST: LEVIS. 



Leaving Main street, at the foot of the bluff about 650 

 yards (600 m.) east of the railway station at Levis and pro- 

 ceeding eastward along the Intercolonial Railway tracks, 

 it will be noted that the face of the bluff here, is free from 

 the conglomerate. At the left of the track, however, there 

 is a conglomerate (marked C on map) partly submerged 

 at high water, which strikes toward the railway track, 

 and, in the first cutting crosses the track and forms the 

 face of the bluff to the right. This conglomerate is very 

 different in appearance from those to be seen along the 

 cliffs bordering Main street as it contains more matrix and 

 fewer pebbles, weathers to a peculiar brown, is much 

 streaked with calcite, and contains a good deal of sand. 



At the end of this little cutting, this heavy conglomerate 

 disappears. On the left hand side of the track the strata 

 are much disturbed, and while there are two lenses of 

 rusty conglomerate on that side, the main mass of conglo- 

 merate does not cross. At the right there is a small offset 

 in the bluff, and on the face a conglomerate like the heavy 

 one just mentioned is seen emerging from the bluff. On 

 the top of the bluff, near St. Joseph road opposite the end 

 of Cote des Peres, this conglomerate is seen again, but 

 cannot be traced much further. It seems that the rusty 

 conglomerate has been thrust by another cross fault a 

 little southward. 



About 400 feet (120 m.) furthei along the track, there is 

 another offset in the bluff, and again the rusty conglomerate
