Mr. Weaver on the 
slate conglomerate similar to that occurring in the western part qf 
Talbot bay. It is succeeded by compact greenstone. These rocks 
range 30° west of north and east of south, and dip toward the north 
of east, a disposition probably arising from inflection. 
In proceeding along the western shore of the island toward the 
north, compact greenstone alone appears, until on approaching the 
middle of the greater bay on this side, we meet with a body of 
greenstone conglomerate of uncertain width. It is followed by 
compact greenstone, which extends into the lesser bay, situated 
more to the north, where greenstone conglomerate re-appears, and 
is succeeded by clay slate, which contains numerous small contem- 
poraneous veins and strings of calcareous spar, and also inter- 
mingled portions of the same substance. This bed ranges 20° north 
of east and south of west, and dips 45° to the east of south, pass- 
ing in its course through the north-western angle of the island, 
and re-appearing in the western part of the Great Bay on the 
north side. It rests upon, and is succeeded to the north-west by 
compact greenstone full of veins, strings, and contemporaneous 
masses of calcareous spar, and forming the eastern side of a 
small cove or inlet, in which interesting relations are displayed. 
We here find, to the north of the greenstone, a body of stratified sand- 
stone conglomerate, ranging 20° north of west and south of east, 
and dipping 50° toward the east of north. On the other side of the 
sandstone conglomerate, we have clay slate again, which ranges like 
the preceding bed of clay slate, or 20° north of east and south 
of west, with a dip of 45° toward the east of south. Beyond the 
clay slate, greenstone re-appears, extending to the extremity of the 
island in that direction. These rocks are also visible on the western 
side of the north-western angle, in which the same arrangement is
