New Richmond, Monday Aug. 19, 1929. A splendid bright morning and we leave for the Bakers Hotel west by 8.15 A.M. We have many views of the Fossil on all the way from Conflantown East to about Blanche Chien. Just after leaving St Peter Point we have the first clear view of the Peace Ranges so far seen. To see them here to advantage one must do so before 10 A.M. in the early morn- ing sun since after ten o'clock they are in shadow, in the sun all the rock forms show in relief and other is more beau- tiful in the flood red colors of the top of St. Anne, the Pic d'Anne and the Sable ss to the north of the Grand Croupe Brook. To the north of the Pic are the green tops of the Out Joli, and ls than the front, followed by the peaks of New Richmond. Further north are the two flood red faces of the great vertical Dorman that Clout calls 'the dawn theme Bonaventure'. Then more gen- eral rock exposures (are those Rich?) followed by a long wooded area when once flood red and green cliffs appear sharply to the corner. The latter are some of the Sable ss. What an interesting lot of geology could be worked out here in de- tail by a young man with enthusiasm and the necessary time. [In 1930 I found this coast easy to interpret.] more Northward of Belle Cause are again great down to the shore to see the so-called Bonaventure transition of Gilding
