Corner of the Beach Wednesday August 17, 1938 It turned cold last night and before nine A.M. today set in for a hard rain. Cloud started out before it rained but by ten o'clock every hand and no wonder since it is raining hard. Are sit around a small turner stone and wonder what kind of weather we can to have Tomorrow. Corner of the Beach Thursday August 18, 1938 Cloud and started out in a light fog for the Cambrian loc. 2 1/2 miles west of the R.R. cut. We found no Cambrian fossils. The cut has recently been widened, and the material is too fresh to give good results for fossils. It appears that all rock under the cut to C. is underlain by a thick-bedded orthite and slippery sandy loc 40-50' thick, that appears to be of the Whitehead fm. The C. is thin-bedded string-shales (see on to left).
