7080 Matapedia, Quebec, July 28, 1929. Sunday. It rained hard early this morning and we did not leave Dalhousie until 9.30 A.M. The roads were good 17 miles to Campbellton and then on to Matapedia, where we arrived at 11.30. Crickmay was waiting for us and soon he had his maps and explained what he had done hereabouts during the past three weeks. He has to survey in the roads and houses besides doing his geological progress goes slow. After lunch we continued four miles to the east down the N. side of the Restigouche river to about 1/4 mile west of the first covered bridge. Here we saw the Helderbergian dipping W and or in suring as the section rises into higher beds through about 1000 feet in thickness, All in a blue l's with considerable mud impurities. We saw the strata along the auto road, the Oriental R.R., and finally at the river level once occurs the best exposures. At the base are spiriferella smooth and fairly plicate, also Athyrisa reticularis, Spirifera and small Favosites. Hidden came Delthyra sculptile; and it thrives through the section. Much hidden occur common of Strophomena punctulifera, Spiriferonta keelii and small Orissistella. In this zone also occur groups broken and displaced Stromatoporae and large Favosites sites along with smaller branching form, Lechstromtrideli is com- mon through out, and in places Hirudis. Hidden are spirate Eatinia medialis (see page to left)
