Over these arc reddish sand- stones of considerable thickness, succeeded by gray sandstones and shales, including nndcrclays, man) fossil plants, and two thin beds of coal. The tliirkness of tliese, as measured ])y riir W, E. Logan, is about -lOO feet. These beds apjicar to be on the north side of an anticlinal which runs toward ^^hipjjegan. South of this, according to Professor Kobb's observations, the (lij), though slight, is to the soutii- ward, and the gra}' aiul nearly horizontal sandstones of the Miraniiciii Itiver, which contain fossil plants and a thin scam of coal, are in the centre of a great flat synclinal which occupies the greater part of the breadth of the coal-tield. South of the Miramichi, the gray sandstones, v/ith an opposite dip, extend to liichebucto, where a small bed of coal occurs at a place called (,'oal Brook, with the represented in Fig. (51.

Under this, and extending to Buctouche, arc reddish grits, which Professor Robb regards as a re|)etition of those at Batluirst, so that we have at Buctouchc an antidina! bringing up the lower members of the Carboniferous aeries. Prom Buctoiiche to Shcdiac the dips are southerly. Shcdiac Harbour seems to be near the centre of another flat synclinal, and thence to Cape Tormcntin the beds dip to the at small angles.
