to the iiortliward. North of the conglomerate, almost as far as the point, 

 the shore lies on a greenish shale, interbeddecl with a schistose rock which 

 is evidently a sfieared sandstone without pebbles. The strike of this rock 

 is about N. 10° to 20° E,, dip 10° E., and it certainly underlies the con- 

 glomerate. Its greenish color and shaly character resemble that of the 

 rock underlying the coarse conglomerate at Eastons Point. At the southern 

 end of the headland a similar greenish shale is exposed, also striking 

 N 10^ E., and dipping 10° E. This would make this exposure overlie the 

 coarse conglomerate. If a fault be supposed to intervene, only a slight 

 displacement would be necessary to bring up the lower shales to this 

 position. This green shale beneath the conglomerate is believed to be 

 stratigraphically related to the sandstone and fine conglomerate series below 

 the conglomerate at High Hill Point 



EXPOSURES WEST OF NONQUIT POND. 



A barrier beach connects the headland of Fogland Point with the 

 mainland. East of the beach lies a broad hill, crossed by an east- 

 west road. On the western side of the hill the road is crossed by a long 

 set of very coarse conglomerate exposures, the strike of an interbedded 

 sandstone being about north-south. This exposure lies not far west of 

 the line of strike of the exposure on the west side of Windmill Hill, with 

 which these various conglomerates are correlated. 



A quarter of a mile south of Coreys Wharf a bluish-gray to black shale 

 or fine-grained sandstone is exposed, some of the layers being very black 

 and shaly. A short distance south of Coreys Wharf the rock is a bluish 

 sandstone. No trustworthy strikes and dips could be followed for any dis- 

 tance; but these exposures are believed to underlie the coarse conglomerate. 

 Lithologically they are somewhat similar to the more northern rocks 

 exposed along the shore west of Windmill Hill. 



The very coarse conglomerate is exposed at various points along the 

 80-foot hill west of the north end of Nonquit Pond. North of the east- 

 west road one interbedded layer of sandstone shows a westward dip of 

 10°. The strike is probably about N. 10° E.
