Dalkousie, N.B., Thursday, July 25, 1929. Collected all morning in the Upper Dalkousie beds of Stewarts Cove. I worked all morning in the Coelidium zone next below the Renosalaria beds. Got a large lot of Hirulves to which I added the same forms from the top of the next zone, Birulves dominate these beds and all else is much rarer. Some Renosalaria occur in the Coelidium zone and somewhat lower--[illegible]-- Cohen collected the lower beds down to the Stewart Brook. He also got a lot of Hirulves but here Machildae and endis are far more common. His collection is from the 10 foot zone. In the afternoon we collected a small Heldu--[illegible]--terrigen fauna from the basal blue sandy and calcareous strata that improve us. Spirifer emacius is the commonest frond along with Schuchertella and orthothona Cohen got some Dalamanites and a load of Calpinea while I got some tails of the last named form, Phactis also occurs here. These strata are fine grained for their mud directly underlies the tuff. Further southeast is a wide marsh exposing no beds. There can be no doubt that these older beds are also Helderbigerian and not older than the New York Creemans.
