Corner on the Beach Sunday August 31, 1930 Sitting on the Vihot Hotel on a brilliant Sunday I am thinking why the "Barpe SS" from Corner on the Beach to the Grand Coupe is not downfallen Bonaventure as Clarke claims. (1) These Dev. SSs are far too regularly bedded and not englowers to be comp[t] to be like Bonaventure. Besides the coups are very different. (2) There is in the W no Bonaventure above to have fallen down. Even if one such were present the "fallen masses" dare the strike and dip of the Barpe SS, of which once and once is to be seen to the east. (3) Bonaventure always lies horizontal or nearly so except once deposited on the old fault Dev. Topography as in the S side of Ple d'Aurore where the dip and slope is about 40S. (1a) B. never has thick zones of well bedded greenish strata with much antrite (feldspar), one of the chief characters of the Dev. (2a) The "down fallen Bonaventure" to dip and strike of the Barpe SS (3a) B. has a great variety of rocks in the coups, from those of the Dev., though the Point St. Peter coups are not so unlike. The former however always have Pierce ls and froids, while the latter have only Riddonndian and day del froids. (4) The B. cement is an um wide, a cracking never seen in the Barpe SS nor the Point St. Peter coups. The Barpe SS creates red far internally are green and the same in those of St. Peter's coups.
