Frederickton July 12-1929 Just north of the railroad station Anandale in a mountain stream that falls over granite. There are peined specimen, [illegible] above in the stream bed and it is more common than the coarse grained example associated with it. The fine grained material appeared [illegible] deformed. Evidently this granite cuts the the Ordovician. One sees much of this granite along the creek for many miles, at least 10 and joining as much as 20 miles. Are these Devonian granites? At a turn in the road near a farm house about [illegible] from Frederickton one sees horizontal red beds with caliche nodules grows. Some of the shells are a copper green color. Going into Fredericton one sees more of it and that it seems primarily overlies the upended Ordovician. One also sees in the dip slope hills on the opposite side of the river. Evidently it is either the Windsor or the Horton beds of the Oant sequence. Part way up the night at the Windsor Hotel. Came about 180 miles today. One tire was punctured by a nail and another blew out due to an imperfect valve.
