Grand Prere, Friday, Aug. 16-1929 Started on my car for Shiphead and Cape dorpe. Copper started a little on the road and tore down this section of a rail fence, but otherwise we had no more bad luck. The road got so narrow that we finally crawled the last mile of the farm to the end of Gorpe Land. [3708] In the brook between the two mountains one gets fine things and a great lot of Plectrocyclus pleisphorus, some of which are very good whole ones. These are fine to about the same striking horizon as in Ooliel Brook. On the way back looked about in Indian Cove and would have gotten nothing if a local fisher man had not given one for a dollar six tails of Dolomanites. This man is Mr. Wilson Roberts and I told him I would try to get him to call out more. When I gave him the dollars he said it was as much as the value of his whole creek fishing. Poor man! Back to the care home at 3 P.M. I am tired and tried out to make a success of collecting fossils. Copper has two boxes of fossils to ship.
