29 R. berg in the fjord. Eggewah's & Syng with Badu's topics in foreground. 30.2/65 Umanak, looking W or N.W. across Westervolne Sound to show berg. Nechutislasoki (Aragonites) - topic + fjord with Floriupgon in foreground. 11.VIII: 1916. Went with Steblaw to cliffs of Huronian sedimentaries forming south side of North Star Bay and at about one-half mile from heady bay collected Specs. 689, 690, 691 of the aragonite(?) and calcite and aragonite (?) bands intercalated with the shales. In the two specs. (690 + 691) wh. show calcite, that is above the aragonite in position. There are many of these bands in a zone not less than 15 or 20 feet thick and they extend for long distances with much regularity of thickness, though all are thin. As shown in these specimens the bands 1 1/2 - 2 " thick contain partings of shale. None that I saw exposed here showed clear aragonite(?) as thick as spec. 684 from loose fragments in the Umanak Bay.
