Figures 34, 35, and 36 show the occur- rence of the Barbican reef and its relations to the adjacent topography. The juxtaposition of the Hopewell and Barbican reefs and the lowest coast terrace relative to each other are well shown in the topography. Figure 85. Relation of Barbican and Older Reef near Mosquito Cove. adjacent to Mile Post 19, displaying three distinct benches or terraces against the mountainous back coast country. Immediately at Barbican the Barbican terrace, or twenty-five foot level, approaches close to the sea and overlies a fossiliferous sinter or marl which is exposed at the foot of the escarpment, and which is full of molluscan fossils resembling those of the Falmouth formation.
