but the amount varies, from 25° near 
Mill Cove to 50° at the south-western 
end of Foilclea. 
A(4+). The greenstone of Mill Cove 
extends round the promontory to the 
head ot the next little inlet, and is 
also seen for a short distance up the 
watercourse running southward from 
Carhoo. It is generally a compact, 
pale, fine-grained rock, but so much 
altered that it is almost impossible to 
say what was the original character of 
the rock. The general direction of 
the band seems to coincide with that 
of the adjacent rocks, and there is no 
sign of metamorphism along its boun- 
daries. Its north - western margin 
shows a horny texture, perhaps due 
to chilling. 
A(5). Nodular and banded rhyolite 
with ash-bands cccupies the coast 
from the head of the first; cove north 
of Mill Cove, as far as the inlet of 
Foilminnaun. It shows the following 
bands. At the top:—

The most conspicuous rock is the 
60-foot band of nodular rhyolite, which 
extends from the point terminated by 
the Coorauns to the little 10-pole 
island in Foilminnaun. It contains a 
lenticular patch of ash, apparently 
faulted-in, ‘This rhyolite is a lght- 
grey or purplish rock, sometimes 
banded, but generally nodular. The 
nodules, which are especially well seen 
in the south-eastern corner of Foil- 
minnaun, are sometimes as much as 
3 inches across. ‘They are frequently 
hollow, and lined with little quartz- 
crystals. 
A(6). This thick band of ashes 
occupies the coast, from the middle 
of Foulmiunaun to the inlet south of 
the long tongue of land which runs out
