& are not very well exposed. About half way up the mountain a yellowish, massive bed of calcareous & probably magnesian grit occurs. It may be about 50 feet in thickness. On fresh fracture it is white, being composed of clear particles of quartz & a white magnesio-calcareous cement. It joins a bold shelf on the mountain side & great blocks of it have fallen down & encumber the pass. The upper part of the mountain is formed of a succession of red, greenish, bluish, & grey sandstones & slates which alternate curiously & have quite a ribband aspect from a distance. The whole mass dips S.Westerly.
