GEOLOGY, BY DR. BOASE.

Near Tregony Bridge, a fine-grained, glossy, and very fissile blue

slate is exposed in a quarry, which appears to be the prevailing rock

of this small parish. This slate probably contains beds of massive

lamellar rocks, as the same kind of slate does in the adjoining

parishes, but they are not in this particular district visible on the

surface. All these rocks belong to the calcareous series.
