The sand- stone underlying this bed of trap contains small nodules of sclcnite and narrow veins of reddish fibrous gypsum. No other volcanic rocks occur in the coast .section near these trap conglomerates. Westward of this place, the section is occupied for about three miles by soft red sandstones with bands, dipping generally to the .south-west: some of them are divisible into very thin , wliilst others arc compact and form beds sevci-al feet in thickness. Near ^foosc liivcr, the red sandstones meet black .slinles and hard gray of the Carboniferous system, containing Cordaites, Ferns, and Lvpidodcndra* At this place the junction of the two groups of rocks was not, at the time of my visit, well in the cliflf, and had the ajjpearance of a fault; but as seen in the horizontal section on the beach, the rod sandstone with a . dip seems to overlie unconformably the carboni- ferous strata, dijijjing at a high angle to the On the west side of Moose Kiver the Carboniferous strata include three large masses of trap which have altered the grits and shales in contact with them, causing them to assume reddish colours.
