Dalkousie, N.B., July 24-1929, Wednesday Left Jacquet Rim at 8 A.M. and at 8:45 we called Dr. John Alcock at Charlottetown to tell him what we learned about the Silurian since last Friday. Then motored to Dalkousie and put up at the Queens Hotel at 3 dollars per day, we got here at 11 A.M. After lunch we collected all afternoon in Stewart Cove in the Upper Dalkousie beds. Collected less than one half the beds, and will go at it again to morrow morning. Cooper is delighted at the good collecting and therefore joins. It must remind him much of his Hamil- ton collecting, since we here have calcareous shales. Some of the Dalkousie beds are one turn or flared and others all stand at high angles get the disturbance, far less than in the Silurian series. Maybe the latter is due to the greater load on the top of them. Cooper got a fine lot of fragments and pieces of a large Lichas in the area of the Stewart brook = Clarkes arj. I collected most of the time in the ark beds with Renweldae rida stewartii having other fossils common to the long spiral gastropods, brachiopods and helms.
