Maguasha Landing, St. Omer, Quebec, Friday Sep. 6, 1930 A cold night and a cool but brilliant morning. At 8 A.M. I started for Maguasha Landing where I arrive at 9.45. Then E about 1/4 mile other the distant Devonian Barke SS appear dipping to E and a little S. The dip increases from 20° to 27° In the basal Bonaren time cycle occur large pieces of undulating Barke SS, just as figured by Kiddle. The contact is a discord form with quite erosive irregularities of several feet. Here the trundles are also layers up to 18". These Gacra Point cycles are divided by a medial sandstone about 15'-20' thick. The lower cycle appears to be 75' thick and the upper cycle about 75', making the whole man from 165'-195'. In the lower cycle there is much vesicular volcanic rock. Above the cycles are fractured shales with inter- neddled SS all of which are more than cycloconcretic but into the pellets, small. These SS and cycles are much cemented by calcite (see specimens), and are lenses pinching out to E. The inter-neddled shale is more regularly neddled. In the upper part of these shales there is a caliche layer 2'-3' thick (on sample), it occurs beneath a coarse sandstone; thus sand and some parts.
