Tliailim nodules in the lay* r D, are bluish, of a fine, homo- 

 itructure and Btrike fire with steel, with great readi- 

 est in large quantity. Should there be a demand 

 for such an article, Wild Fowl Bay could furnish an abundant 

 supply. 



layer B, would furnish a superior building material. 

 The layers 1>. E and P, will make excellent lime, and the ele- 

 vation ajx.ve the water, especially if the- rock enters into tho 

 formation of the high bank along here, would fully justify the 

 opening of ■ quarry. 

 From this point the formation crosses Saginaw Bay, and next

 distance south-west of Little Charity Island. It out- 

 rthern, western and southern shores, consist- 

 or two layers 12 to 15 inches thick. It abounds in 

 /ringopora, before referred to, and contains some concre- 

 tions of a cherty nature. It is replete with tra<-<\<, of organic 

 remains, but a rthing is well preserved or identifiable, 

 Bryozoa and CyathophyUidos.
