pillow-lava (heavy black lines) in northern Newfoundland. 
Jacques Cartier Island is the best exposed, and, on account of 
its nearness to the schooner, could be studied in the greater de- 
tail. The description will hence refer more specifically to this 
one locality. The same general relations and petrographical 
characters, however, belong to the lava at the other localities, 
Kirpon Island and Fortune Bay. 
The most favorable spot for determining the nature of the 
deposit was found at the ragged cliffs on the west side of the 
northern "tickle" or channel affording entrance to Kirpon Har- 
bor. A long, deep chasm running parallel to the strike of the 
beds has there been worn out by wave-action. An excellent 
exposure has thereby been given of the pillow-lava and of the
