fault the same rock A occurs but the upper part of it which is softer (B) somewhat micaceous & weathers yellowish brown in some cases - is near the beach especially to the S & SSE -

Passing around this corner of the island we come upon a mass of greenish porphyrite obscure by bedded dipping SE 70°. and passing under the sandstones at (D) where they are very rotten & much broken up, being evidently remains of the upper strata probably faulted down and exhibiting a foot or two of rotten broken argillite.  The fault extends NE of this to the beach and on the other side of it the sandstones appear again much folded.

Transcription Notes:
Ambrosia: Reviewed with description of image & minor edits. micaceous = like mica Geological terms checked. What looks like "ledded" is actually bedded - see same shape of the letter be in later word "broken" and "being"
