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.
