Corner of the Beach.
Tuesday, August 16-1938.
Another foggy morning with light rain.
I remain at the hotel, but Cloud goes gathering
and collecting.
After lunch walked south to the Corner and
then along the mountain road to a quarry for road metal
just S.E. of a Protestant church. Saw no fossils in
site, but in the brook laid aside about ten pieces with
Whitchell fossils. These come down the brook from
beds of fine sand further up the stream.
Just N.W. of the Protestant Church some red oys stand
on end and these according to Allcock and Kindle are
of the Cannes de Roche form. Below an coarse
coy, 40' thick; then middle ss and sl 80'; and above
in the Upper Coy: 40' = 200. Has plants suggestive
rather of the early Penn. than Miss. See Allcock's
map for distribution. Regards it as a part of the
Bunaventine defined in different rocks.
The red rock on the top of Reed Peak is Barke-
sandstone. This is what Corder and Hornblunt.
