July 13-1937
At 1.30 P.M. one had a power boat take us by Pierce Brook and then around the north side of Bonaventure Island, aiming to please the ladies and so they all put on gills are 7-8 species of birds nesting on the eastern high cliffs. Barnets are most common.
(2 miles by 1/2 is 3 miles due south)
This island shows the Bonaventure fm considerably disturbed in open fields and small undulations. The Appalachian disturbance is distinct and steeper than I had expected, but this is owing due to faulting.
The grass lands are very coarse in thick gms with herds of turkeys fat acres. There is also some cross-feeding, and the feeding is not at all as regular as in marine states.
St. Anne is said to be "1400 high" (1230).
On Bonaventure Island live 13 fishing families with 53 oratus.
All in all this boating trip of 1/2 hours was one the first important data made by me.
