Jacquet River, N.B. Monday, July 15-1929 a.m. Dr. Aleroll came in his car at 8:30 and we then sat down and talked over the Lillurian section and places to be visited. After an hour or so drove east 2 miles from Belladune [illegible] to see the top of the Lillurian section. Where we saw what may be the "Lacoun" formation though there was nothing to remind one of the Port Daniel rocks. Saw many of the worm trails running Taurus in ethul ports. Accordingly saw nothing to prove the presence of the Lacouns and certainly nothing at once of the Bouleaux formation. Can this be do to Gorge's After lunch studied the remainder of the Lillurian section, drove over to new Barclay Street. Began in the La Vaille formation with many beds of stromatopora and corals and a gone about 40' thick with many Stricklandinia perpicua (small). Farther on we saw the Clemville with Cordiparia tenuis-plicata, etc. This series is faulted and just all to the base of the visible Lillurian appears to be Clemville. It is complete with tuffs; maybe one half of its thickness. How thick the Clemville in Hole and Illume but may extend 300' feet. Some fossils are found throughout, but I saw nothing characteristic in these lower Clemville beds, nor did I see anything to indicate the higher Lillurian like the Bouleaux and high formations. The Lillurian ends with a large flora. The car that left 7 miles east of Barravante.
