Corner of the Beach Friday August 19, 1938. Dark foggy morning and looks like rain. I stay at the hotel, but Cloud is gone to the C. Doc. Later it clears up but with cumulus clouds. I got tired reading, and then started south along to head To see the Cannes de Roche from Bonneventure fm. It's interbedded coarse clyo derived fm. the Devon Dev. fm with very coarse sandy greenish silt. There is present a good deal of cement silt and in the clay, some occur logs of trees up to 14 inches in dia- cmeter and 12 feet long. These log originally were hollow, and now filled with sand and pebble or the most is cemented flat. The wood consists of layers of flinty coral and iron precipitated bands. In places these coarse logs are 6 inches thick. Sawmnr Calcenite or even pieces of leaves. These deposits were laid down in streaming action and all is present. It is a highly- pisolitely interbedded coarse clastic laid down by out streams coming out from a highland of Devon- ian rocks.
