EARLY DEY0XIC HISTORY OF NEW YORK AND EASTERN NORTH AMERICA I63 SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES THE FAULT AND 1M All, AT L'ANSE AU SAUVAGE ON THE FORILLON, GASPE L'Anse au Sauvage or Indian Cove lies a little more than half way between Grande Greve and Cape Gaspe on the Forillon peninsula. In my map of the Forillon I have shown only the limestone succession on this slender, half devoured mountain ridge. The Gaspe sandstone overlying these limestones does not appear in its normal attitude outside the head- land of Little Gaspe which is 6 miles from the end of the Forillon. For all the extent of the Forillon this sandstone has been torn away by erosion leaving the banks of Grande Greve limestone sloping steeply into the waters of Gaspe bay. L'Anse au Sauvage is one of the larger rock walled beaches of this coast which together form an array of singular scallops along the water front where the pounding of the sea has dislodged ami con- sumed extensive joint blocks of the limestones. These blocks have been slightly tilted and often recemented by calcite and barite veins, sometimes carrying small quantities of galena and marcasite, and it is these little metalliferous veins along faces of jointing or slight displacement that have given birth to the many attempts which have been made to win silver and lead from these mountains. At L'Anse au Sauvage the end walls of the beach are the limestones but the long back wall measuring 350 feet presents a face of Gaspe sandstone faulted down into the limestones. The fault lines are well marked. At the western end is a pronounced.
