Aug. 15, continued. We then went to the first stream west of Little Brin East, about 2 or 3 miles, and east of Grand Brin Village. It is the place from the train four years ago. It is the southern point along the sea shore and almost beneath the railroad trestle. The strata stand nearly vertical but dip slightly inland and are far more muddy slate than those of Little Brin E., and devoid of fossil beds. Now out a trace of a trail. At this place these strata show far more meta- morphism than at the Port Joli and the Dileuvian. Hinde says they have been mapped as Devonian. To me these this place must be referred to the Ordovician, and clearly older than the Richmond. If this is true then the Taemic orogeny made a new geanticline extending from Port Macquarane to about Cape Core. To the northeast of these are lie the Richmond and the Devonian, while to the southwest is the Dileuvian- and Lower Devonian district of the Barfoss. The Ord., sil. with kimberls and some the axis probably have the whole Louis. Dilly ser., (=Macquarane) and the Thetron, while the sw. tips lay above the Dogranolite (=Tateysmoke slate). Sht to the Bay View Inn at New Richmond at 6.20 P.M. We came to day from Gospe a distance of 150 miles.
