Nward at angle of say 30" & forms the Mts on the N.E. side of the valley. Rather thin bedded red sandstones however preponderate the whole way up the valley. They lie very regularly & uniformly & almost preclude the possibility for extensive reversals of strata.

The general sequence of the whole of the beds seen disregarding possible overturns appears to be as follows

1 Grey reddish & greenish slates sandstones & quartzites frequently alternating considerable thickness (seen at entrance to pass)

2 Yellow weathering calcareo-magnesian grit. Massive. Seen at entrance to pass. Say 40 or 50 feet thick.

3 Dull reddish, bluish, greenish, & grey, beds sandstones & slaty rocks & quartzites? [Dawson's ?] Say 200 or 300 feet or more.

4 Crimson beds. Shales & sandy shales of deep red colour, some fine thin pale-green layers in marked contrast. Colour deepest red in lower layers. Say about 200'. Forming lower parts of pass on N side 4 & 5 miles in.
