The Sudbury rocks continue without great change along the southern nicltel rangeto Worthington and farther west, and need no detailed description. Except for a largeramount of slate they differ little from those already described. When one passes Es-panola, south of which the last section was worked out, one finds the slate transformedto phyllite, interbedded with quartzite, and what were impure sandstones are changedto quartz mica schist with a surface glistening in the sun, only the purer sandstonesretaining the appearance of quartzite. The quartz mica schist rises as steep ridgesnorth of Webbwood, with purer pale greenish quartzite beyond, followed by the schistosevariety at the old Shakespeare gold mine. The quartz schist at Shakespeare mine drops suddenly toward the north to a val-ley floored with drift, beyond which rises a range of red granite hills with summitsreaching 330 feet above the valley. The granite is coarse grained and not gneissoid,. View Georgian Ba\ from Top of Cloche Mountains though it contains masses of greenstone and is penetrated by numerous pegmatitedikes. The actual contact of the granite with the Sudbury series is hidden beneaththe drift. Going farther west the schistose character of the sediments is more pronouncednear Massey and Walford, and there are places where the Laurentian is found in erup-tive contact with the quartz schist, as near the Massey copper mine.^ Some of themica schists here are finely and uniformly crumpled. At Walford the glistening micaschist encloses garnets and knotty looking masses of epidote. The rock consists ofmucovite and biotite with an equal amount of completely recrystallized quartz. Thereare bands of green hornblende schist enclospd in the mica schist probably represent-ing the rearrangement of the basic dikes. If these were found in other surroundingsthey would be considered Keewatin. All the rocks are steeply tilted and hi
