Saturday August 30 continued [Major Lee this time man vrs L = Whiteland l] The Cambrian is a thick redded foreathers thin redded light gray (almost white) fings crystalline ls and orlite with yellowish weathering, then slatey ls and very near a Kluist ls (one with my lens). Also has Cryptogran. There is surey exprosed here over 50' of thickmess. The auto road and the strike of the ls is alike; or 50° S. with the usual N.W. strikes. Do the Nts to the S. and to the N. Between the in the crally Potage Brook are the auto road and railway. This Cambrian outcrops in between 13/4 and 2 miles west of the Corner of the Beach on the road to Anse L'Bean. Fills some light brown miles to the SW. on Chaleur Bay, At near 1/2 mile E. of the Cambrian locality there lie a lot of loose Rickmondian rock but now more in place. All at this lies much barke ss and blocks of Bonaventure some of which is glacially striated. I am certain that the E exposure is the southern limit of an anticline and connecting with the anticline of Lower Oerman shown to the NW on Charles geological map in Memoirs of N.Y. State Survey. It is here then that the higher part of the Perce Cambro-Ord. anticline occurs. What lies on top of the Cambrian? A middle says he finds nothing other than Rickmondian. This is therefore curious. Can it really be that there never was here any Reed mantoon and Middle Ordovician? If or are have to reconstruct
