Dr. Boase states that the geology of this parish includes the same
group of rocks as those found in the western St. Anthony, although the
two parishes are so remote from each other, and separated by such
ranges of hills. The slate is, however, more coarse and argillaceous
in this parish, and the massive rocks imbedded therein are more
compact, and almost entirely quartzose. The whole formation is
evidently more remote from the granite.
