Thursday Sept. 4 -1930, Continued On getting to Carleton Drilled W about 1/2 miles to the shore exposure and at the crossing station on the R.R., to where the Bonaroutine is exposed, as I trace in this trip from the car window. Here the engl. all stands or end dipping 70°-90° S.E. into the Bay; to strike N., N.N.E. It all looks like true Bonaroutine and it rules the hyper Germanian as we knew from the Inguasha Landing at Jacta Point. It can be seen W. of Carleton along shore for about 1000'; and again to the E at the W. "Limit of Carleton Village" in the brook where the R.R. and auto road crosses it. Here to dip, in about 30°-5 into the Bay. Here and there in the critical beds one sees large sun- facies slitten-sided horizontally or somewhat tangentially. The thin here could be some hundred & 7 feet, on N of which is a cross engl and as he thk come in the high out of the s with thin sheets or plates ofponge porcelin cut nearly str. as at Jacta Point. The auto road does rise over it and in places one sees the engl coming to road. Amongst the pebbles are rim cratered as in the regulatin Bonaroutine. In this place the Bonaroutine does not have much ls and red sh., orange Pierce to yellow and clean blue ones, mostly large ss, and occasional small sponge commun. The ring quartz particles are small usually under 1/16th inch and well rounded. Low mg granite, and but me grain boulds. Jasper is rare but in places is more common and up to 3" across. There is considerable of a thin red dust sandy
