Sagabec, Quebec, Friday, August 23-1929. One mile N. of Angui in a railroad cut occur sand ls dipping 60° N. Here one pt Leptrocoelia flabelloidea saw one Ordovay like Spirifer and ? Ontrocelia. We are therefore still in the Ordovay. Then fn at mt 5½ miles N. we saw no road outcrop, but at 2½ miles S of Val Brilliant we came upon a little ex-posure beside the road thus furnished Tenostella, Pleurodic-tium, tiny land plants and some obscure fossils. Bring down on the railroad we found a dull red cut with the Shista rational. These are said to be in a syncline and as far as could see one ate to last high out of the Shieldrock Range before we came on the flat land undulating by the very horizontal Silurian white quartzites. In the railroad cut we found a light pink arenaceous-pyrites ls having scatering fossils. Of this layer are two orocrenulate. It had Lep, Rhomtridals, Ametricularis, a small Chuchuckstella, orthids, Phynochonella, an Ordovay like Spir-ifer and other brachiopods. Also a Dentistypa that reminds one of the Devonian. It is a fauna unlike any known collages-gets younger than Lower Dev. a possibly early Med.Dev. Less than one mile N. of Val Brilliant, or a little N. of where the auto road crosses the railway in in the fields to the west of the R.R. occur white quartzites smetels of which are lining and have an abundance of Pentamerus flonguos, Shield-
