St. John, Wednesday July 30-1913 On deeply there we saw contact of the Paradoxides beds of the Acadian against the Etchemenian. The prints are in the shales terminated by their gneiss quartzite. All of these beds are conformable and stand vertical. They are of the Acadian series. Then follow more shales without prints although a Paro- lenus is said to have been found here. That there has a heath in there but at this print we does not see one. These are his Etche- momenian beds, In the Park we saw contact between the Etchemenian and Celdhoridian. The former terminates in red conglomerate with large quartz pebbles up to 2 inches across. This conglomerate rests on older effusive type red shales that the petrographers determine as a volcanic rock. It might be an ark bed but is thought rather like a weathered volcanic rock. There is considerable marble in this Celdhoridian [B1] [B14]
