Centu,
Port Daniel Thursday August 11-1929
Yesterday in motorring E. and after getting to the
east of New Carlisle and while on the low coastal
land I was impressed with a mountain to the south
that at first I did not know. I said there is a
hump in the land that I do not know, and it stood
across our path. Finally it dawned on me that it
was the Drill Point Ridge. In other words here is a-
mother mountain range striking through Macguarvan
Point out into the sea - Bay Chaleur.
From Matapedia to beyond Renouville we
are all too way close to the igneous crasses that hroke
into the surf Paleognics in late Devonian time.
Farther south they join farther into the land. Above
get towards New Richmond they make an impressive
dight leading back to the crest.
The next high land is just east of New Richmond
and lying Black Capes. Beyond all the way to the
Drill Point Ridge the shore is all Bonaventure.
In the morning Dr. Wells took us in his car to
La Vielle to collect the long main part of the La
Vielle formation along railway track.
But a fair collection for this tree.
