Grooves run nearly N.-S. At 52 the dip is about 45° E.SE. 

 The southern part of this ridge is traversed by numerous fissures 

 running W.NW. 



Midge II consists of the same conglomerate and schists with 

 the same strike. At 8, on the beach, faint traces of shells, proba- 

 bly Lingulae, in the quartzite pebbles in situ. The ledge 6-33 is 

 a plane of stratification. At 33 the schists dip 45°-50°E.SE. ; at 

 two points north of 5 the dip is 50°-60° W.NW. 



Ridge III. The distance between the conglomerate of ridge 

 II and the nearest outcrop of this ridge is about 200' ; measure- 

 ments taken near 35 and 9. The low hillock, 9, consists of the 

 following, beginning on its west side : About 40' 1 of finely strat- 

 ified mica schist gradually passing into a coarsely stratified horn- 

 blende schist, measuring about 90', followed again by an uncertain 

 thickness of the mica schist succeeded by hornblende schist. 

 These are all conformable, strike N.NE. and dip at a high angle 

 W.NW. The second hornblende schist reappears at 35 and 36 

 where the ridge disappears. This rock in weathering shows the 

 feldspar plainly, at 35 it is traversed by veins of quartz containing 

 chlorite, and also by a vein of zoisite. The mica schist in passing 

 to the hornblende schist becomes more siliceous, in jolaces a finely 

 stratified quartzite, then darker in color. The second horn- 

 blendic layers reappear to the south forming the bulk of hillock 

 10, where they measure about 75', and again at 11. On the east 

 side of 10 they may be seen resting upon mica schist and at 11, 

 in a perhaps more inclined position, between argillaceous schists 

 on the west and the east. At 11 the edges of the western argil- 

 laceous schists are planed in graceful curves and striated by 

 glacial action. Striae nearly N.-S. The hornblende schists there 

 are likewise striated but, probably owing to some irregularity in 

 the surface, striae run NE.-SW. The layers of 10 and 11 strike 

 N.NE. Therefore, eliminating the duplicated beds, ridge III 

 consists of three beds of mica schists with one of hornblende 

 schist after the first and another after the second. 



Midge 1 V. The uppermost layers of this ridge are exposed 



at pt. 38. They consist of mica schist dipping 50° W.NW., and 



striking N. 3b E. and are followed easterly by hornblende schists, 



pts. 14, 39, 46, which form the entire western face of the cliff 



1 These measurements are approximations merely.
