the Balmeral Hotel. Have come 140 miles.
At five miles E of St. Griv we saw a large
road side cutting in grey-blue sl dipping steeply but not
at all metamorphosed. Saw some small Electrum-
Tonites scissus, and graptolite (few them). These
strata are much grayer than the Lewis - Valley
series and are mutilated or deformed. They are
probably of the same age as the Tremadoc at Mont-
morenci.
This odder series we saw about 10 miles east of
where we examined them. Farther west they flatten
out to horizontality. At three Rivers occurs the
Richmond series. Accordingly Logan's line must
give into the southern Quebec Land within about
20 miles east of Lewis and gradually fan farther
and farther south.
The beautiful scenery of northern Quebec reminds
at our 30 miles west of Lewis. The eastern boonies
carry forest on a flat low terrace beneath
which are Pleistocene clays and poor land.
