Recommencing at Tniro, wc may now consider the stripe of New Red Sandstone, with occasional masses of trap, which extends with several interruptions as fiir as Cape d'Or. Northward of Truro, the red sand- stone meets and overlies unconformably the Carboniferous grits, shales, limestone, and gypsum of the North River and Onslow Mountain. Its boundary In this direction is about three miles distant from the bay, and it occupies the low country; the Carboniferous rocks rising from under its edges into hills of considerable elevation. From the North River it extends in a band about three miles in width to Do Bert River, where an apparently insulated patch of Lower Carboniferous rocks projects through it. These last appear at the bridge, and consist of limestone, with fossil shells characteristic of the Lower Carboniferous period, gypsum. ."'"' hard brownish sandstone.
