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.
