The band of rock* thus ap[)earing, though narrow at the coast, widens as it is traced into tho interior of the peninsula, and follows approximately tlio curve already pointed out as marking the distribution of the subjacent sandstone. The line of its outcrop may be readily traced on tho geological map, forming a sharp and somewhat irregular curve, ex- tending from Ked Head to the mouth of the Mispeck. In tho latter portion of tho curve, owing principally to a fold in the strata, the rocks occupy a somewhat wider space than is covered in tho former.
