August 29 continued. Bros on the Bio. Yesterday in motor way from Bie one saw that the quartz ridges are continuous for 5 miles to the north of Bio and for about 23 miles to the east, farther east if present one can more from Rimouski to near Bio. These quartzite ridges are again continuous to the north Rivere du Loup and start all the way to within 20 miles of Levi's when they die down to far less significance. These quartzite ridges are all close to the present shore line and form large long islands out in the Gulf. They are associated with the green and red slates and the whole are in the lower part of the Silley-Lanym series, the base of the "Cambro- Ordovician". Order of Boletto Zonu Cambrian fossils came from these localities hinging with Bio and going west to St-Fatim and St. Limeron. All are very plentiful in the crests of the Cambro-Ordovician. He also got some on the island of Orleans near Quebec, and one of the Levi's crests also furnishes them. It is curious that these Bio ls engl. furnishes no fossils with the Ordovician fauna like those in the crests at Levi's. Does this mean that those deposits were not present or far closer as Bio? This matter should all be looked into in the Canadian reports (but very little work written), but more or if Copin could find a summer collecting on the Lewis -Silley series from Levi to Cape Rosier.
