"Causapscal, Thursday, August 22 - 1929 At 8 A.M. went about 1/2 mile S and then as much E up a steep rise. Due dark blue lining of are exposed and schistose as usual followed by the road and within 55, Dr. took got about ten species of what look to me like real Oristany. But Chacks Rennelacria n.A. (up to one inch long), Chmits like onelmica, dif- frent lines of Spirifus and the Anchisrevinus sort. Saw my Lep. flabellites but hardly L. emeara, nor any regular Oristany species. These ol may be terminal Heldburian. Then tried the large road side exposures about one mile south of Causapscal, but found it too dirty to see fossils. Colled for one flab Chmites. Then looked at the R.R. cut in ss to the north of the station and a layan me about 1/3 mile north of the former. Saw my fossils, but Crict may got in the first cut one Leptocrelia flabellites and two Chmits like onelmica. Time Oristany. In the afternoon visited H. to Angui on the Boulevard and then crossed the Matapedia and came S. along the north side. Ex- aminial a number of outcrops and at four places got either Lep, flabellites, Crelopina emeara, or Chmits like onelmica but flat. All is though Lower Devonian and as far as the fossils show all is upper Low. Dev. As far we see no fossil evidence of the Silurian.
