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.
