Heyoiid tiii < there is an autieiinal, Kucceeded by a second synclinal, on the east side of which, in tho vicinity of Suther- land's River, the coal beds reappear with north-westerly and northerly dips. The most east<'rn exposure on this tortuous line of outcrop ia a bed stated to be ten feet in thickness, seen near Sutherhuid'H Kiver, about two miles from its mouth. No doubt the coal beds extend still farther to the eastward, along or undfines ; but fronting this there is, on the cast side of the East River, as indicated in the general section in the iirst edition of this work, and reproduced without alteration in I'ig. 134, a narrow line of outcrop, in which some at least of the beds re- appear with southerly ilips along the line of the fracture which skirts the outcrop of the great New (ilasgow eonglomeratc. This exposure is continuous with that already noticed immediately opposite New Glasgow, and includes the beds long known in the vicinity of that place on the east side of the river, with others recently traced farther to the south and east. Eastward of New Glasgow, according to observations made by Mr Kirby on his coal areas, the line of strike curves somewhat to the northward, forming a broad indentation parallel to the projection on the opposite side of the trough, and then, returning toward the south, passes toward the shores of Merigomish Harbour, where its extension has not yet been observed.
