on the mountain road, where the dip is towards the O.W. This agrees with the faunal evidence.
Hindle has explored much along the banks to the north of White Dot, and here he has turned three places with Cataggyga antiquatissima. Only a shale series here and says several small arches are shown. This seems to indicate that the area between the Priests Road and the Cape Blanc exposures is a sort of anti-climorium trying as the Richmond in the same sequence as in both Isle-Cape Cannon.
After lunch Hindle, Corbin and I went to the north of Little River Ear to see his so-called Silurian. Here on the east side of the stream is a point exposing nicely a lot of nearly vertical shales that dips inland. They are sandy slates, banded SS and sandy shell limestones all in very thin beds. Our finds are few even excepting in the shell limestones and here if often the calcareous matter has been leached out leaving behind an ochreous reticulation. Orinidial stromatones are frequent (all very small) and tiny hackis forbesi, Dalmarella is common. Also fragments of little a small Rhynchonella or ? Elyaspiria. Darne my small Plectambonites, Rictoliate hydra and several non-identified brachiopods. The whole place are future impression, namely middle Ordovician and probably Northrops Trenton series.
