A mile and a half southwest of Ladentown (0) ledges of calcareous conglomerate dip toward the trap at angles varying from 5° to 12°, and apparently pass under it.

Fig. 8 Contact of the trap and overlying sandstone, south of Little Tor (from a photograph). be as represented in figure 10, A. At point E the conglomerate dips 12° southeastward, and then at the limekilns (F) the dip is 5° northwestward. The relations along a line E to F and cross- ing the trap may be as represented in figure 10, b. In both cases the relations shown by these sections can not be regarded as more than suggestive. Relation to Palisades trap. Previous observers have made this trap a part of the Palisade sill. Between the two there is a deep gap nearly 2 miles wide within which but one outcrop of trap is known (Gr,). At another point (H) within the gap coarse sand- stone is known to occur. Elsewhere the rock, whatever it is, is deeply buried beneath glacial and swamp deposits. The data in hand indicate that, if the trap is continuous across the gap, the con- necting belt must be much narrower than the Ladentown area,.
