August 26 continued. I said good-bye to Gridley and Colput took him in his car until he front are collected back to Causapscal. I told him that now he had the quarry fairly well in hand, but much remains to be done in working out the fold and fault structure. At the cairn he has a well developed Heldebergian that appears to pinch out to the west and south in the first 20 miles N of Oratopedia. At the north end there is a fine Silurian sequence and it probably will not be found south of Dal Billiawr. Part of the Oratopedia Valley is occupied by the Ordovician and only it appears to be Lower Ordovician that some of the Sarbeos maybe included but all is marine uptr and including the Johnskarie grit. Beneath all is the Middle Ordovician Oratopedia series of Trentm age. The old ls quarry operated by the Intercolonial R.R. appears to be one N of Dal Billiawr about three miles where the auto road crosses the railway. They get out culvert and other great stone, not ballast material. The R.R. operates a much larger quarry in red sandstone (called Red Quarry) from miles S. of Causap-scal.
