THE WARDMAN PARK HOTEL WASHINGTON, D.C. 1800 ROOMS Duntar put up with me in 262 Wardman's. We were together on Thursday and Friday nights, and D. left Saturday afternoon.

Wednesday, December 25 1924 At 12:30 P.M. started for Washington and a winter journey in Florida. Snow is on the ground but the day is fairly bright although more snow is predicted for tonight and to-morrow. Arrived at 8:30 and at 9 P.M. I am at the Wardman Park Hotel. December 26-27-28, Washington, D.C. Attended the G.S.A. meetings. A long program and a great attendance. Pierce elected President. Smith and Rinn's Presidential Address at National Museum. Banquet at Wardman Park Hotel where I am sitting; Lane toastmaster. The hit of the evening was the fun-making and singing by the Pratt and Freeman Club. The singing of the

Washington, Dec. 29 - 1929. Sunday Strolled around the Capitol Building of the Nation, Capitol Library, and arranged my journey to St. Augustine, Florida. Called on Mr. Mordey, and had dinner at seven at Mrs Merrile. Present here the Reiths and Perkins (Maine). Saw the volume of birthday [75] letters given to Mr. mrsle by Mrin Morodey, having nearly 200 letters of congratu- lations, with many from foreign countries. As a frontis- piece it had a picture of Merrile holding 2 card and 2 haddrell. The pictures was an enlargement [pre tale] taken by his daughter and which Merrill had written "The end of a perfect day." Monday, Dec 30 - Washington Met Coplen at the National Museum at 9.40 and then introduced him to Bassler, which [Foreste] was here Mrin Mordey, and Reeves (Lue Howell and Moore). Reeves agreed to let us see what Brachipoda are need to see. Reeves ambition is to spend the rest of his life in the hills. Saw Springer room of Echinoderma, a large room full of specimens around three sides of the room. Also had a oil painting of Springer and Louis Aganig. There is much unrolled crinoids (Comptonia)

"Washington, D.C. Dec. 31-1929 Tuesday Spent the morning at the U.S.G.S., mostly with Mr. Jonas, and some with Strze. Talked general stratigraphy around the Taconic Disturbance. Strze has my fossils in the Juniata, but in the white Tusca- nora about 70 above base he has Artinoglypheus. In the Martinistry not far below the Tuscarora contact he has others with the deep kies grapholiths, Pyllographus, Te- tropagaphus etc., about 10 species. Higher come the Chor- marshfield grapholiths and the regular Martinistry into Eden and the Maysville faunas. Follows Illinois in that the Juniata = Queenston = Pi-Richmondian. As the Juniata goes further east, into the Tuscarora - Medina the former cannot be late Ordovician < Richmondian. Had lunch with Mr. Jonas and then back to Brandman Hotel and at 3 o'clock I start for St. Augustine Florida. It is the Miamician along the Atlantic coast to Miami, Florida. A soft balmy day.

St. Augustine, Florida Jan 1-1930 Due here at 10.25 A.M., but were 10 minutes late. Checked my baggage at the depot and then walked around the village to see what should get for a hotel. Went to the Chamber of Commerce for help and they gave me a long list of apartments, rooms and hotels. The house with rooms do not look inviting, and so I visited about half dozen of the cheaper hotels, one of which looked acceptable. Finally took a large southeastern room without bath on the third floor (no elevator) of a frame annex of the Buckingham Hotel at six dollars per day, a special rate by the month. Unpacked and made myself at home during the rest of the afternoon. It is a bright sunny warm day, almost too warm for the clothes I have on.

St. Augustine Fla., March 30-1930 Yesterday noon, Saturday I finished the new Outlines. It has gone quicker than I expected, in fact I did not hope to finish it here in Florida. All in all I am satisfied with the book. It is now more largely about 25 printed pages and is more historical than ever, as it should be from my stand point as a paleontologist. This has been the first winter for weather favor y to one or seven or far short average for Florida. Jan. and Feb. were most delightful, now all the days sunny and most of them warm enough to wear my spring clothing. March has been more than half of the days dark and rain has fallen in great gushes. lites. This said max rain has fallen than is usual to here n four times. The Buellington Hotel is a comfortable place and very they are smartly and cleanly. It is in any way a prominent hotel, and at all times there have been about three ladies to one man. The great majority of guests are old people and this was more true in Jan. and Feb. During March the hotel filled up with all sorts of auto people, and families, and from one to three small children. The hotel looks after their guests providing cood parties, but many see the managers are bridge or women.

North America was first discovered by the Norsemen in about the year 1000. There is no doubt that the fishermen of Normandy, Britons and Basques were fishing at all Newfoundland- land long before Columbus discovered America (Bahamas) in 1492. A French vessel of Dieppe was caught in 1488 in a storm was blown to N. America. Its name is Crespin of Dieppe, and from that time the fishing began to grow earlier. Abroad Crespin's vessel was Pinzon and he told Columbus what he saw, and Pinzon was with Columbus on his first voyage. There appears to be documentary evidence of the fishing in 1497 and century in 1504. Jacques Cartier in the St. Lawrence in 1534, 1541 and 1543. Sebastian Cabot of England sailed along the Amer. coast at least as far as Batanas in 1497. Americus Vespuccius sailed around Florida in 1498 or 1499. Juan Ponce de Leon came from Porto Rico to Florida in 1512 (or 1513 as generally stated at St. August) saw Florida on March 2 and landed somewhere in northern Florida on Palm Sunday April 2, 1512. On 1521 Ponce atour Tampa where he was shot by the Indians and died soon after.

St. Augustine, Monday March 31 - 1930 Shipped by Express collect the box parts and one of Outlines to Peat-ole Museum. Also, my lawyer willie collect to 58 Stone st. St. Augustine April 2-3-4-1930 Attended some of the Ponce de Leon-Memora- der celebration of the discovery of Florida, and the founding of the village of St. Augustine. The city persists in getting its history wrong making the date of discovery April 2-1513 when it is 1572. Then they let the Fountain of Youth advertise their false small spring that Ponce never saw, or at least that town and the slightest part of. What these people should read is Parkman's book, but I am thinking the city father are either all good Roman Catholics or old business men fearing to damage their myth account of the discovery with the false "Fountain", which is no fountain at all. Paid my hotel bills and at 8.00 P.M. April 4, I arrived for Cincinnati, Ohio, when I arrived to- moning early at 9.30, P.M. All in all this has been the dullest April I any anywhere. What's much worse than as reported but a great deal more than Cleveland.

Cincinnati Ohio, April 4-5-1930 Got to Cincinnati, Ohio, at the Grand Central Station on time at 10:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. Brittin Albart was at the station with his car to take me up to Arondale. Sunday April 5 was a day of talk and meals with Albert's family and sister Emma. A cool day. Took a little walk in the afternoon at Aron- dale. At ten P.M. Emma went home. Cincinnati April 6 - 1930. Monday Monday a cold windy day down in the 40's F. Walked around the city a little. Had lunch at the Sifton Hotel. Spent two hours at the Cen. Art. Museum and found it greatly improved. Now they have the Mrs Emery Collection of paintings, all by first class classical artists of the nineteenth and eleventh centuries. The city is to be congratulated on its splendid art gallery and shown in the best modern manner. They have a portrait of George Washington by Rembrandt Peale, and another small pastel. Spent the rest of the day at the Public Library, looking up the Cen. Acton - Meersdick - of my boyhood days. Met Albert and Alice at 5:30 at the Sifton store to go in their car to Emmas home for dinner.

Cincinnati April 8 - 1930 Tuesday Alice told me down to the Public Library and opened the daughter looking at Mundrock, and then the car for a short trip of Cincinnati, Ohio. Walked down Fifth Street to see the place of my birth near the crowded-crowded pizza town of over Cincinnati. Had lunch at the Ritzon Hotel. Then to Albert's factory at 4:00 P.M. From here walked to the main Penn. R.R. to take train for Norwood, where one met Alice at the Carnegie Norwood Library and then took a trip home for dinner. She Alice had her own - a Mr. Hauck - a graduate of Gin. Univ. A man about 30 years old, rather studious but somewhat pessimistic, otherwise a nice fellow. A cold day. Cincinnati, Wed. April 9 - 1930 Another sunny day, and not so cold. In the morning walked with Alice to the Norwood Library, her workshop. Had a long lunch. And then Albert in his car got Emma and at 1:30 P.M. together came off to Canton, Ohio to call on brother Phil. Changed cars at Columbus. Arrived at Canton on time at 8:30 P.M. Dorothy told us we are come to Phil's home.

Canton, Ohio, April 10-1930. Thursday Talked all morning with Phil. Carl in the afternoon. Drosty called in his large Buick and showed us the One Hively memorial, then to Coneys Island of Canton beside a large lake, then to the Dodgean Hangar near Akron, then to St. Lourdes at St. Joseph, and finally tack to Phil's. Here here was a dinner party on y de Shorts (Phil's wife's family) and the Drostes (Ma and Mrs and two daughters). Retired at 10.30 P.M. Canton, April 11-1930. Friday. In a cab left Phil's home for the Akron Bus and at Akron changed to an electric car for Cle- veland when I arrived at 11.30. Had another cab to take one to the N.Y. Central depot. Then to the Cleveland and Nat. Hist. Museum on Euclid. Came out at about 2:30 o. It is a small museum in one of the former fine private residences, in the turn down later on. All is excellent what there is. Of Chalwelache they have six good but small spe- cimens all under this flat tray. Also have a fine Ocattrama from dry mining, and a fine labyrinth out from Texas. Also the Johnstown Ostradan.

"Canton April 11-1930 continued. Then walked back to town, had lunch at the Stetler Hotel. Then took a tour of Cleveland in the new Terminal Building on the 2nd floor. Tremendous re- sorting of the hillside down to the Chapin River. Cleveland proper now has 1,070,000 souls. Metropolitan Cleveland has 1,500,000. Visited the new Public Library and looked up the year of my first visit here. It was June 1874. Then back to the Union Depot and on to Buffalo at 4:00 P.M. Arrived at Buffalo at 9:00 P.M. Put up for the night at the new Buffalo Hotel over the Stetlers. Spent the afternoon at Niagara Falls. Got into a N.Y. Central Sleeper at 9:30 and at 10:45 P.M. the train started for Boston. On time at 7:38 A.M. April 13 Sunday. Left Springfield at 8 and was at home at 10:45 A.M. Spent the rest of today at the museum looking up the accumulated mail.

Buffalo, N. Y. April 12-1930 Spent the morning at the new Natural Hist. Museum of the Buffalo Society of Nat. Sci. in Humbolt Park. A great improvement over the old museum. The conception is rather for educational purposes and local needs. Labels everywhere say that the present arrangement is temporary until the installa- tions can be made permanent. Marchand has put me five pieces of res- toration. A composite one of German Sea, a coral reef with crinids in abundance; done fine porcelite and a large Ostracous. All excell the Museum to a great one and should help to develop the oceans of Buffalo. About the afternoon at Niagara Falls. Got into a N. Y. Central Sleeper at 9.30 and at 10.45 P. M. the train started for Boston. On time at 7.38, A. M. April 13 Sunday. Left Springfield at 8 and was at home at 10.45 A. M. Spent the rest of today at the museum looking up the accumulated mail.

7437 Trip to Gaspe Peninsula August-September 1930 C. Schuchert (alme).

Started on 4/267.

Sunday August 17-1930 Left New Haven at 10.25 P.M. for Quebec via Montreal. It is a cool fine day. All morning wrote letters to my sister and brothers, and others. Packed up in the afternoon and read the N.Y. Times. Had a taxi take me to the station. Left at 10.25 P.M. Standard. Montreal, Monday Aug. 18. A fine morning arriving about 20 min. late in Montreal. Hunted up my suite case to have it inspected by the Customs and found it bonded to Campbellton. Adjusted the matter, and left at 9.30 A.M (30 min late) for Quebec where one arrived on time at 2.30 P.M. It is raining and so spent the rest of the day at the Chateau de Frontenac. Crossed the St. Lawrence river to Lorette and at 9 P.M. Standard time got aboard the sleeper (Sala) for Matapedia. Standing in front of the hotel and looking down the St Lawrence Valley one is impressed with the fact that nowhere in N. America is from a grander view scene. To the N.W. are the Laurentides, then the terraced river on either side with the hills to the south rising to the dissected plateau.

Staying at Mrs Clarence Bond. Point St. Peter, Gaspe Peninsula.

Matapea, Tuesday August 19 On time at Matapeia 9.13 Standard, and at 9.30 left M for Barachois station to go to Pointe t St. Peters. A heavy clouded morning with showrs in the air, but the sun is out as we start from Barachoe. However as we go east it shows more and more, and I see that all the streams are full. Towards evening it gets cold and dismal. Arrived at Barachois at 7.30 P.M., and Mr Bond was waiting for me with a car at the station. Between St. Orme and Carlton de Bonaventure is a very coarse conglomerate, and dark red as usual. Bedding about horizontal with local foresetting. The trunks run large from 2 to 6 or 8 inches, surrounded of limestone (coral), quartzite and Barachoe's s.s. Same coarse Bonaventure all along to west of New Richmond. On the north side of Black Cape de Bonaventure dips to the N.E. at about 30 degrees, due to foresetting down the slope of Black Cape Mt. Another dry area of Bonaventure E. of Chandler all the way to Bonaventure Island and Mt St. Anne. Then no more at all Bonaventure all the way from Percé to Gourelle.

Miss Bolding does not have this cpl. as her section. Slips with Little Pointe St. Peter to the north, the second point being Pointe St. Peter. Later on I see that all the way from Pointe St. Peter to Little St. Peter is the same coal. I saw many pieces of the crinoidal lls of the Richmondian on some Pines Road at Pierce. The layer truedas y'ls, and about are are cut- rounded and have not come far. The granite truedas and the rein quartz are more rounded and have come further. Pitatsy more exceed 5 inches, the rein quartz are very four miles across Quartzites are rare, but one layer me was seen 8" across. These maybe be out of the Lewis, but some pitatsy out of the Silurian in done of the fine quartz coal. Rounded [all made] are out of the Lewis.

Pointe St. Petus, Wednesday, Aug 20 A fine sunny but cool morning. Spent all of it on the sea front looking at the make up of the Crg limestone. Something like 45 feet thick. About three-fifths to seven-eighths of it is coarse engl with the greater part of the pebbles under 3 inches, the rest range up to 6 or 8 inches and rarely there is one up to 12 inches. From 1/8 to 1/4 of the limestone is interbedded red weathering coarse oolitic sandstone in thick irregular zones decided eros- bedded with scattering small pebbles up to one inch across; these zones are from a few inches thick up to 4 and even 6 feet in depth. In the cgl, about one half the strata are light blue as some of which have Catazoga lende and Leptaena oredia, also Favosites, Helirites and Halysite. Other pebbles have Cretospira home- hicata and small Phymachnellids. Also four Pentamerus oblongus. Therefore the bed of cgl is of Richmond age with the rest of the Delmerian. Saw no evidence of the Hel dentary or the Ordovig, nor any Carbonss. The rest of the cgl is about 25% of granite and vein quartz, the rest of all sorts of material from many formations and some is out of the Leries (quartz cgl, jasper and chert). There is also some iperons or red. The cement of the cgl is all an oolite mix and feldspar very common. One sees no mica. These beds dip towards Plateau Island 6m from 10° and not more than 50 to 75.

Wed. August 20, continued. In the afternoon started north and down in the sec- tion. The dip of our conglomerate (1) of Pointe St. Peter continues north into the first harbor to a little point, and then on north making the headland of Little St. Peter. Around to the north one can see about 45' but thickness of this cgl., but with all fit to regret any of it much thicker. Thus very little dip, but other bear is in to the south. All of the remarks on the previous page relates to this cgl. To the N. around Little Pointe St. Peter in the clay core beneath cgl (1) is a series of thick bedded sandstone with thin lens of cgl and shale falls. It is decidedly arkosic and the red feldspars are conspicuous, quite irregularly bedded and much eroded. The thickness or all exposed is about 100' (see 200') thick, and to the next cgl (2) maybe 220' thick. The dip is 18° S.E. (from an unnamed point to the N.) To the N. in cgl (2) and in little (1). There may be lens ls. estimated at 750' and the beds are somewhat smaller. Thickness at least 60' The dip is to the S.E., i.e., to the south and to Plateau Island. Below cgl (2) going N. is very much more bedded ss. Weather reddish but inside tends to be greenish, with local lens of cgl. a few inches thick and an occasional local lense some feet thick. Portable thickness 125' Next down is a local cgl. as at me, about 10' thick at center soon petering out to the N. Dip 15°-18°. Going N. the dip flattens to less than 10°.

Thick, 40' Still lower, in carn-bedded ss as above, but in less carn- beded, and has farther comp. grns. Thickness about 250', First bright green shale grne 6' thick. A peculiar emply of shale falls and ss, 10' thick Sandstone as above. 12½°, 15° S.E. Thick., 60-75' Farther N. emply (4), Appears on beach at base of fish- remains road down to reach from the high cliff, goes N. to cliff around which Gould did not fit, and so closed the days road. It took me 35 minutes to crawl back to the Bond home distance about 1½ miles. Was not able to determ- nine thickness, will try in it tomorrow. All four emplys seen today have the charactr of D in lower emply. described from earlier page. Particularly the boulders are getting smaller. The intermediate sandstones towards the top, are more em- glomatic and carn-bedded, than those below. The sandstones are somewhat crasser towards the tops, but all are arkasic with an abundance of feldspars. It is these feldspars that give the ss their reddish color, but much of it is due to weathering; inside they tend too greenish. One of these beds in the slipper quarry @maritime emplymate, all are terminal basic ss.

Pointe St. Peter, Thursday Aug. 21-1930 Had lunch wit me and spent the day scanning the "Bmarantine" cliffs north to Red Head. Started from north side of Pointe Harry Cngl (4), which at the top if the cliff is about 16' thick. Its worn surface (Whale Head) estimated at 60' is mud-cracked. I don't if this cngr. is more than 20' thick. Later. Then it occurs regularly bedded thin and thick green SS that create a dull red; all are decided iron-bedded. The craser SS are still very arkosic with the red feldspars conspicuous, but less common than in gounpa beds. Nearly all of the more prominent bedding surfaces have red weathering clay-falls in a thickness of a few inches up to one foot thick. Here and there are short lenses of sandy cl. Also the first evidence of land plants, circular to oval or flattened small stems that branch occasionally, all show a fibrous nature and often the outer part is coaly with the center (layer) filled with mud or sand. Saw no leaves of any kind. Probably all are Poil affgen. These come in about 100' beneath Cngl. (4). There is also a little of silren mica present. Saw a few current ripple and current surfaces = river action. From here down the land plants are always present - rare in solid SS and not common in shaly thin-bedded SS. The thickness down to water-face is about 300'. Here then irregular beds of green cl. At the falls the dip is 20° S.E. Same SS series continues below. At 300' beneath falls saw a fine smooth? faethford trail, about 3/8 inch wide and about

Belding gives the dip of coy1 (?) as 190/550 E). The coy1 (?) making a little point has no name. Logan gives the total thickness of the Barke'ss from near Tan Point to the fault mentioned below, as 7036' thick. Aconder(?) Logan this side is labeled "Bmarentine" Surface South Thick reddish green ss Reddish weathering sand y shale (2/3) with thin ss (1/3) dip at nr 80 S.E. Beach Perasul fault North Barke'ss.

Thursday Aug 21, continued A perfect day along the ridgips. Beneath the falls train 350' beneath falls to Fishermans inclined plane. Taken about 100' more to Cragl (D). This makes the SS series betw. Crags (4) and (D) about 700' thick. Later out, at 1000 In Cragl (D) the pebbles are all smaller hardly any exceeding from inches. Nor are its pebbles, but vein quartz are common (I'm from one nick) along with lens of granite. The largest Boulder seen is 6 miles across. The horns seen and taken along are Catacysa leadit, Halysites, Stomatopora and Crelopina demplicate. This Cragl (D) makes a little head N of Fishermans plane and around which I could not get. Had to make a detour of one mile N. to St. Georges church and would track along shore, easy to do since all the prints are small due to thick redded SS. Cragl (D) appears not to exceed 400' thick. Beneath Cragl (D) is more SS as above, but weathering more dull red than those. The upper zone without interbedded SL is about 150' thick. The lower chalky zone and weathering more red than any of the high beds in 30' thick up to fault. Exit at 350' Then comes the unmistakable fault, onto the "Bona-venture" to the south and Barbe's s to N. See sketch opposite. It is as Goldring has it in diagram Fig. 1. To the N of the Fault follows the green Barbe's SS series (according to its dip 70°N 80°E) and here it stands nearly vertical, at 70° dipping E while on the other side of the fault the "Bona-venture" dips S.E.

The point Chien Blanc is where. South. Dip 50-10° S.E, nine feet 100 feet granted Read Head Beach craft I did not go to Read Head. Around the head towards Long Cove with the Devonian according to boulding dipping 40-60 (S.30E.).

Thursday Aug 21, 1930, continued These ss I did not estimate the thickness because they are much cleared at right angles to the fault, turn or rather move on then between SE and E. Stillings along the shore. About 400' N is another fault, but much less significant and probably meeting decidedly red. a slip zone. Shaly sandstone from N. This much disturbed zone is many depends upon this. The shaly zone is also much disturbed. This much disturbed zones goes from N to SW 1000' and upon the whole dips more often E. than S.E., as to be "Barentrune" series. Farther N. the ss in some a long thick beds are again regular and dipping SE between 10o-15o. Then grey goes occur on some bedding planes and scattering small petles are always seen. This series goes to St. Georges church, and then here is ahead in the cliffs and sandy beaches occur and fishermen's boats and coal pits tables. Farther N. appears red or atting ss with shale joints dip S.E. at a low dip; about 5o-10o, and at about one-third mile N. of St. George's church the strata rise quickly into an upward flexure bringing up thick redded green to grey finely laminated ss that make Red Head. This flexure is also little to diagram opposite. These ss are wonderfully cross-bedded in curved planes and very much like what I saw in Bermuda or on a far smaller scale.

Thursday, Aug. 21, 1930, continued a long straight plane cutting all sorts of stuff presenting in joints about two feet thick. All is a grey to white lamin- ated arkosic sand (see sample) with some of the planes subsequently disturbed red by penetrating roots. A small litter of mud cracking. The whole appears to me to be a delta on the land side and other dry terraces lower the sands into low dunes that the river presents cut off and then present the sands right to repeat the process over and over again. After passing the disturbed area, the SS constantly shows Psilophyton, but at no place does one see leaves, and my free piece that I took along appears to show needles. If so it must be a club moss. In one of the dredged clyps, the Sarsness found an imbedded slab in the clay, 16" long and 4"-6" thick. It is the same the normal to be seen in the basely the "Bonarentine" at Beaumene. Yogan gives the thickness of the so-called "Bonarentine" as 2966', and of which he estimates 1/4 is clay = 690' (I have reduced it to 53.5'). Then he estimates over clay (?) down in 300' over to Pla- teau Island = 3066'. I have changed my field figures to agree with his making 3060' as on page m left.

Congl (1) goes W along the shore of Malta to a place E of Malta Cove and the English Church on the hillside. Here is a high cliff at or just below creating to E, from the large cave. Beneath it and the cong (1) where abrupt cliff occurs the red scattering cross-bedded ss that dips nearly S. In the basal feet of the cong, the pebbles are much smaller than usual and more angular, probably one-half the size of the higher beds. The ss go for 200' of any steps east along the shore of Malta Cove, where Congl (2) appears and continues on W, despite I will see tomorrow. The basal feet of Congl (1) are comprised of small pebbles that are more angular from lower up. Try an probably half the size here than at halfway up to the top. These ss are beneath the English Church on the road side above. Should yield about 200' -- > To account for sides of Pointe Petr

Farther south it is 20° SE.

Friday Aug 22 - 1930 Continued Farther W appears enyl (2) that for at least to Maltay may extend, I stopped for today's observation. Upon the whole the troubles are smaller than in enyl (1) hut some one is found on 12" long. The dip is low, be- tween 5-10°. The distance of these enyls seen today is a short half mile less the 210 of my steps, the area of the SS between enyl (1) and (2). Pointe St. Peters, Saturday Aug. 23 - 1930 Started out after breakfast to spend the day along the north shore of Maltay west to ordere the regulation Bimarentine is said to come in order of the fault (bridging) shortly to the crest of Belle Cause Post Office. As noted yesterday enyl (2) begins on Maltays Core to the E of the long orange and goes W for atour 1000 far. All of western side of this core is if enyls (2). On the western side of Maltay Core in mine if the cross- begged SS with layers up to 4" of small bottle enyls. Atour 7' if these beds shown here, most of these SS are cross-begged with dollar planes with an occasional straight one. They dip 10°-15° S.E., They go for 210 of my steps to enyl (3). Enyl (3) makes the western horn of Maltay Core, but it appears not to be, 12' thick. All if the faults are [illegible]

Saturday, August 23, continued of Richmond kinds. This engl (3) soon pinches out to the west. Further W are some of the dim-beded ss with their zones of small pebble engl. Dip 10° SE. These strata go W to the houses of East Bell Anse or at mr 1/2 mile east of Point St. Peter. These ss have many local thin lenses of small pebble engl in beds up to 2' or even 3' thick, and the ss have scattering pebbles. As a rule the pebbles in these engl are under 1½

Saturday, August 23, continued and once commonly rein guarant all under the same with layers of green clay. Hills reworked into the Bmarentine. The Bmarentine clearly lies horizontal and angular unconformably over the Devonian cross- folded SS, on clay [4] and to the W on the old SS. Then for 1000' W there is sand rock exposing no beds. Evidently there is SS here, like the additl? cross-folded ones seen to the E, where the Bmarentine overlies those SS and clay [4]. Farther W to the Ford running over of Belle Ance P.O. and the fiddinam's houses and fir roads, but are three small points composed of clay [5] and therefore of considerable thickness. Aim to strike it must be 1000' with the regular dip of N° S.E. The most norsting of these three points is just E of the ford or beneath Belle Ance P.O. On two of these points I again saw the Bmarentine angularly overlying clay [5] of the Devonian series. Belle Ance Crre has the regular cross-folded SS, The distance across is about 700. The northern arm of Belle Ance Crre has clay [6] that dips S into the sea at N° -20°. The thickness of this clay [6] cannot be more than 10'-15' and it is hardly to SS like those below it, but if with it one sees not

Saturday August 23, continued more than at Mr S'. The upper surface of the Devonian is here irregularly eroded so that the Bora are true an- gular rules uncomformably all of the older strata filling in all irregularities. See the diagrams on page to left. The Bor marantime along the sea cliff to the W. of Belle Chase is not composed of such splinty pebbles as that to the E, instead more of the underlying Devonian crag. The Bora marantime can always be readily separated from the Devonian strata as follows: (1) The B. lies hori- gontal and the D is deformed at least 150; (2) the B. is a whitish or light grey crag introducing basalt peacturing ls along with the older pebbles, while the D. crag are of flint is in an ashtrio cement, or if ashtrio cross beddedness; (3) The contact between B and D is an eroded and an- gular uncomformity with the former overlapping the latter acim crags (5) and (6) and interbedded sandstones. There is no possibility of a fault line as Mrs Goldring has it and besides the Bor marantime reems more than one-half mile east of where she draws it in her diagram. The Bor marantime overlaps the much older and eroded Devonian. This surface is higher to the eastere at not 30' above sea level and to the crag at first beneath the sea, and probably no more of the Devonian can

"If it is the highest Comfornale or anyone, the St Peter series that reappears to the south of Barachris, then Aaron ends from here south to the Coule (near Perce) to bring in all of the Barke's plus the Barke ls thus making if Melt as a great syncline rising sharply into the faulted anticline of the Pierce Mts. (See second page for map.)"

Saturday, August 23 continued He seen from about one half mile W of Belle Anse. The old eroded Devonian surface is interesting in showing that it was in Pre-Bonarentine time as we see it now, i.e., folded, eroded and jointed with the Bonarentine mud and pebbles overlying down into the joints and filling all the hills and hollows of this surface all between the toundas of Caples 5 and 6. About 1/3 of a mile NW of Belle Anse P.Q. buried eroded Devonian surface goes beneath the sea, and here one sees about 20' of the basal Bonarentine. The lower 4' to 10' is usually of the orthoclase grey splintery Congl. [see two specimens from E. of Belle Anse]. Higher occurs more than reddish yellow-pinkish overlying SS with pebbles and toundas. Did not go farther W as all the shore looked to be of the Bonarentine in low cliffs some hidden from 20'-30'. Goldring gives the dip of the Bonarenture as 6° W, but to me it appeared to be less say 40 W. She states in her diagram (Fig.1) that they go Basa-Chris and Tickle Inlet. Farther NW of the inlet there is Devonian again with a dip of 20°/S. [80°? E]. In this one see their continuation to the critical red SS to the W of the Coule of the Percery rim.

Looking at the Berlonap in Cremona by Clarke it may appear that the N.W. syncline leading S.E. into Malta Bay continues S.E. into the Dervian rocks along the south shore of Malta to into Corner of the Beach, and so into the Mnaidles and Pince Creek. In this event the sandstone outcrop may join in at the base of the barpe ss and go north into Grimgan and Grimgan Barpess. Here the Oridany ss and the Barpe stand at about 80° dip- ing slightly to the north into Malta.

Saturday August 23, continued As the Barre ls (= Helduvyian and Ordovician into Schlaric time of the Middle Devonian) and the Barre sandstone occupy Lower and Middle Devonian time, the so-called "Bonaventure" conglomerate and sandstones of Upper Devonian Time should have a separate name to ring out their distinction as these group of Devonian strata are or well known in the vicinity of Pointe St. Peter they well be called the Pointe Peter detrital series and of continental origin. The Pointe Peter series is then the equivalent of Knidles "Bonaventure" above the fish-bearing "Upper Devonian" of Beaumenac Bay. Accordingly these fish bearing beds may not be so late in Devonian time as is usually believed, rather are of late Mid.Dev. or early Up. Dev. Above them is an erional surface and then follows the equivalent of the Pointe Peter series called by Knidle the "Bonaventure." The fish bearing beds probably go underlith through unknown strata the equivalent of the Grand River ls into the Campbelton strata that are younger than the Helduvyian now known one miles E. of Matapedia. One face in the over the entire Barre series is much different from at Mr. Barre Bay, probably less than one- half as thick.

Pointe St. Peter, Sunday Aug 24-1930 A foggy morning that turned into a misty rain all the day. Spent most of the day on these miles and comparing them with Logan's and Miss Gold- ning's results. If Logan had seen the contact I saw yesterday on either side Belle Anse he would now have made the St. Peter series to the Bona venture age. This series would then have been the top of the Devonian, making the whole Devonian of Lake Bay about 12,000' thick, namely 3,000' of St. Peter, 7,000' of Lake SS, and 2,000' of Lake limestone. This is about the same thickness as the Mary-land Devonian, but not all that of western Germany. Walked north for half an hour and back again to the home of the Bonds. Miss Goldring stopped for a month here with her family that was seen at the telegraph station. Griddle stopped with the Bonds during the past two years,

Pointe St. Peter, Monday Aug 25-1930 Another bright day with fog about Pierce' and Barge' but at around the low Pointe St. Peter. Took life easy and collected a few fossils in the tumbled up conglomerate (C.) In the afternoon read some, packed my box of rocks and fossils, and walked around a little. Ready to move over to Monmouth Corner on the Beach. On Tuesday morning about 8:30 the moth Italian stopping at Bonds home took me in his crew. Filled along with Clarence Bond to Mrs. Libets Hotel at Corner on the Beach where we got a g.w. Small Plateau Island is flat topped about 30' above sea level with a small flag - light Light House on it. Stray St. Peter Point series with the strata dipping something like 10° to the E. I did not prove it. It is less than one-half mile E of Pointe St. Peter.

"Corner of the Beach, Tuesday Aug. 26th 1930" Got here this morning at 9.15 and before 10 o'clock was in any way to see the cliffs to the south west. The head of Malta has a sand spit several miles across from the south with the Tickle at the north over which the rail way has an iron bridge. Back of the spit is one of the large Barachris of Saffo and it maybe Clarke's typical example. The R.O. of Barachris is on the north shore of Malta just beyond the Tickle and where we leaves the R.R. In Pointe St. Peter. As we gets to the "NW" end of the cliffs looking to high south shore of Malta we one meets with about 50' of interlaced dull- ned weathering fine grained arkose ss (from tram '13) and a crassie greenish-grey conglomerate. Towards the top the boulders are small under two inches but in the lower part one much larger up to six inches or more across. In the higher conglomerate about ½ of the boulders are yellow stained well rounded vein quartz usually under one inch thick down one 2" long. There is chief material but jasper and granite is comparatively rare, along with a little of siliceous stones. Limestones are not common at the top but below is the dominant rock and all look to me like Grand Trenches, due to examples. These are the older Saffo Sandstone Series [but are again separated as Ganne de Pyto = Pompeian Formation]. In the greenish-grey ss there are beds with an abundance of cutinized plant fragments and among them are pieces that look like Psilophyton. In the lower conglomerate, there is an abundance of cutinized lumps, one is 8" x 4"; another 6" at top 10" below with coal layers on its outside.

Blue in to sub-gneiss. = Carne de Broke Total elevation 245' Maltaig Compare this section with home on road to Carne, use Broke for Thistons. This one is more reliable than this sketch. See the above section described two pages to left. On Wednesday I again looked at these immense fallen masses of broken coarse sort of a crytomerite. Now see that this gneiss is a fault breccia, made of mostly of the Pierce' pink and yellowish grey hard silicous ls. One block over 5' long, another 4', and a third 3'x3'. Other blocks are of a coarse quartz ss, and of the small pottle cyl, all marked together in the brick-red sandy mud-stone. All along here to the S of the fault gneiss it are the Ordovician strata, ortho to the N are the left down Saloe sandstone. The great fault lies between them. [= conglomerate]

Tuesday Aug. 26, continued and 10' long; still another several feet long and of which I have two pieces. One supports the trunk of a tree fern, and another was hollow with the cavity filled with crystals. Looked hard for fossils and saw but one small piece of a ferrosity of Devonian character. This was just above red core, colors extend to [illegible] and East. These strata stand on end ranging in dip from 40-75 deg. S N.50E. (strike N,30W.). These are clearly the northern limb of an anticline with the arch to the S and the syncline to the N; namely Malvoy. See to sketch to left. Beneath the above cphs. are about 75' of a brick-red muddy ss with green stains (due to percolating waters) and goes 4 or more feet the cyl. (see sample). Also goes off

[This red cgl. is now called Carre des Roches and is basal Bemarantian. It's not a fault of the Basque series] The great fault lies between this red cagl, and the shale. On one side (S) is Richmond dior, and on the other Basque ss. All of the Lower Devonian is not here. The hade of the fault is 75-80° N.E. and strikes N, 10° W. [This trilobite is now described by Cotten and Lindle and named after one. I believe the name is Brachycarpon schucherti. In 1938 I got none of these loose things in the work.]

Corner of the Beach Wednesday August 27 - 1930 On the Pierce Road south of the Corner and just S of the English Church just before coming to a fork is an outcrop of the red conglomerate Baspe Sandstone. It stands almost on end, at M 80° and dipping N.E. Strike N.W. W. One but have in general made their way down here to W. feet of it about 250'. Just in the lower part of the Baspe SS. West is a little hollow 30' across pretty much the same shale as the next division. [This is of the Whitchead fm.] Then dark blue shale, 25' seen. It is the same shale above the ls of the Richmondian, and seen at Grand Coupe. Then crumpled very light blue or light grey yellowish breathing thin bedded ls and sl. Dip about 10° N.W Strike about N. 20° W. About 100' is exposed on the north side of the road and beside the fork. The only good lff in place is an entire trilobite. In the fork found several slots full of fm's yielding Catagazza, Dalmunella, Smutzella etc. On the south side of the road there is 50' of the same beds exposed and less clear 30' mine. [= Whitchead and Canneids Rocks] Between these two formations is the great fault, dropping the Baspe SS to the N., and cutting out all of the Lower Devonian (Cant. Joli and Pierce series). On the Pierce road 1/2 miles from the Corner the road [=Canne de Rocks] cutting exposes (the red sl of the Devonian) and the contorted Richmond of the Cape Cameron type. ``` `north` of the `up place` at least

Both sides the fault zone and near the shore one [=Cannes de Proche] eroes up in the Devonian series at a much lower dip than is usual.

It is evident that all along here the shore is in the Juelst zone. For a half mile N. the Devonian to cliffs. From Cannes de Roche N. to the next brook the Bake SS rises in dip from 30° and 55° to 82°. It is the same red bed series with green small pettle eryst and zones of crm- tedded ss. These so as said before all the way north to the Corner of the Beach. From Cannes de Roche S. the Devonian contin- ues for about 1/2 mile where the coast is indented more to the W but the cliffs are all of the jumbled Richmondian. But on Thursday I collected a few fossils. The material is too poor to warrant any playing to save its small fossils. In the shales occur an occasional fossil, mostly broken tests of trilobites.

"Corner of the Beach Thursday Aug. 28, 1930. My room looks directly E our across Maltaq and this morning while seated I saw a lovely sun rise at 5 A.M. The horizon out to sea got dull red and then brightened. At first this band was narrow and then widened once and once. The red mixing with the blue sky made it an emerald green and this was reflected by the sea, but towards land there was a fair red. As the sun came nearer the horizon the sky lost its greenness and took on the color of day. And then the sun began to show above the horizon, casting a brilliant red flash across the sea, as the moon does on moon-lit nights. Started south on the Pierce Road to see other new ex- plosions, the road materially had opened. To the south of the road to Cannes Rocks is a very long high hill climbing steeply to the S and high at me the front. This entire hill side is now stripped and shows the crumpled fluted train bedded in and out of the Richardsonian. It is too fast to reveal fruits and I saw none. When I got to the Priests road I found it in its former but more neglected condition. It was over the mountain road from the Corner of the Beach Road will go, and on this last road my own car was being done. So I started back to go down to the shore via The Cannes des Roches road. Traced again to get around the rocky point about 3/4

Thursday Aug 28-1930. Continued mile S of the Canne camp but failed again, Then tried to collect fossils out of the Richmond crump- led strata of the shale cliffs but for one bone coral, 3 Blac- cuns tails and a few other fossils. All the fossils are of Rich- mmond age and agree with the fossils of the Priest Road and Grand Coulee. Any Cyclinemade bed on the Priests Road appears to dip 40 S-E or N. 30 E. This is near the dip of the same strata into chone.

[This is the Murphy Creek locality about 2 1/2 miles on road to Aïse de Beaufils]

Corner of the Beach Friday August 29 - 1930 Too stiff and tired today to work. At nine A.M. took a walk on the regular auto road and on my way back when near The Libert Hotel who should just me out of a wagon auto but from Kindle. At first I did not care to talk much to him because of his suspicion that I was prospecting in his territory. He forgets that I have specialized in Barre stratigraphy for more than 30 years. He is very much perplexed over the structure and especially about his place where he got the Devonian Cambrian fossils. He said the place was within 1/2 miles of the Corner and twice volunteered to take me to the place provided I would not put in the locality. I will not put him on my mind but I did not care to commit myself to him. I did, however, say that he probably had a herd caught up by the fault that I have been tracing out during the past three days. If the weather is good tomorrow and I feel strong I may try to find the place, of the Cambrian, but I have no idea where the locality is other than that it must be along the front side of the hills facing the large Barachois. I met Kindle again in the late afternoon but we spoke only a few minutes.

"Corner of the Beach Saturday, August 30-1930 Staid around the hotel in the morning and wrote some. Staid a little later in the morning and storm cleared up or I decided to try for the upper Cambrian locality. Had dinner a little after eleven o'clock and by moon drop on the road to Beautifiol. An auto came along and wanted to give me "a lift" and so I got in, and in getting over less than two miles other the road rises sharply con- cluded to try the gallery. Going on the rail-road just to the north of the auto-road was a good small outcrop and so I investigated. In a little while I saw some fragmentary tril- lites that I could not determine, but the ls looked different from anything seen before. Finally got a loose large piece of a thue ls that had many trilohts, and as the black flies came had concluded to take the whole of it home and there break it up into ts. Isaw at least ten heads and tails so I came down turned up in the Kindle locality.[This piece piece goes fine] Then going to the auto-road found a much better exposure of the same ls but saw no good frind road. Set- ty to the top of the turn of the road when lo Isaw Kindles's can parked on the side of the road, but he was somewhere in the bush. So I wrote on a piece of paper "How do you do? C. Schuchart" and placed it in Kindles can so he would find it on his return!"

This is reminds one of the M.C. pieces in the Lewis Crylmerate and especially of the fine Rhellcephalus slat in the Ottawa museum! At last we have found the source of those Limistne jettles, I'll bet beneath this Upper C. lies the Lower Cambrian with its Allenelles form? It could be here to furnish the jettles with LC forms or common in the Cryl, at B.c. Curiously this C may lie the Reedmantain above seen in the Lewis cryl. If so it must be found on the Beaufet's road. This Pickmandien lies in line of strike of the Cambrian, and as the former appears soon to come in to the south. Curiously Clarke's maps shows the L.D. route goes arider to th N.W. and main north to S.E. This means directly from the N.E. from Labrador,

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

In this eral the Barpe SS may now have been laid down on Chaleun key. The late Ord. folding made a land here, and in the valley to the N.E. was laid down the Barpe SS and the whole Barpe series. To the S.W. of this land lay the Silurian sea that did not enter the E Barpe Basin. The turning of the "Appalachian Mts" in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and outlet of Clarke, then took on the curious tending during late Ord. and more especially in late Dev. time.

Saturday August 30, Continued our ideas only of the sequence here but as well the mountain structure. On the other hand there maybe Devonian Great north thrusting too. Certain it is that a great fault line with some thrusting runs from the Pierce' Porell R.W., and that the Maltaq syncline has been pushed probably south over the Pierce anticline made in later Ord. Time. If this is true then one will have to revise all from ideas as to the direction of thrusting and folding. Instead of coming from the Atlantic Ocean, it came from the O.E. from the Labradorian part of the Cana- dian Shield. This then could better explain the north thrusting of the St. Lawrence foreland and out its horizontal strata and the intensely crumpled Ord, all along the S.E. side of the great river. Can those are too? If so one have the explanation why Greater Acadia is or different to its geology from the Appalachian area.

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.

The Cambrian may have a thickness of some hundreds of feet. Can this be the Mid. Ord.? -> Hardly, because at Little Rhyn and farther north the ? Mid. Ord. is more deformed, but what is more important is intertwined with lava flows to a considerable extent. The same is true below of Patrodaniel where lava are also super- times. One small mem of supatni occurs S of Beauffis (over Clades crop in Orem.g). Other mass occur to the W.of Basin Basin.

Sunday August 31-1930, continued What makes the lower lasses or tried out I do not know but the samples taken should explain this. In the late afternoon had an auto take me to the Cambrian locality and found it to be 2 4/10 miles from Corner on the Beach. Then drove on to 5 3/10 mile and turned back. S and W of the Cambrian loc, some hundreds of feet one sees loose pieces of the Cambrian and one block had one Cryptogorn. Less than 1/2 mile beyond comes in a squizy-hardened myacene shale that stands vertical. Then shortly a stretch of 1/2 to 3/4 mile of brown bedded dense light blue ls devoid of fossil remains. It reminds most of the Richmondian but what the age is in ignorance unknown. It has a dip of about 80° N. to W. The green shale may belong to the C and as the road line runs along the strike of the C may not be much above the C ls. Then appear to follow directly the brown bedded ls of appearing to? Richmondian. I saw not the slightest evidence of overthrusting and the entire sequence seems to be normal. In this event all of the Lower and Middle Ordovician is out. If so that is a remarkable occurrence after what we expected from our knowledge of the St. Lawrence Valley.

Campbellton, N.B. Sunday September 14 1930 A brilliant morning and the Gibaut family is all astir cars for the eldest daughter is to be married after noon in the beautiful fine catholic church of Peace. At 7.45 they all go into the autos the Gibaut family in one and the males relatives and he groom in another. Both cars are decorated with red streamers and in front flying Canadian flags. The Bride is well in light blue dress and dross and one of those beauty boy fur trimmed fennies. and fully large straw hats now again in vogue, done a feat. At 8.45 the groom man picks me up and tells me, my time contains of rocks, and passage to the train at the tiny station opposite a station master at the Corner of the Beach. At 9.20 am I go for Lim Point. At Beaupris [station in Peace] I see Baird, Kiddle and the owner of the Perele Hotel, but all I do is to bow to them from the car window, nor do they come into challenges. At Newport the terrigenous or the Chacqueean shales is to the north of the village, and they are extensive. I ought to put some young man to write out this region. It will make a good structural and petrographic area. Of froms there more time at all times should look for Mid. Ord. faunistics. It looks as if the place opposite the south-eastern shore of the St. Lawrence Channel is again the northern shore of the New Brunswick seanteline.

See form and under date of Aug. 19 where day this Bomarexine lies horizontal. Evidently in the poor evening light I did not see things correctly.

We are 10 min late at New Carlisle and lose 20 more in remaining to town, so many passengers that a third coach is added; one of these is a chain car, many filled with passengers from Gaspe Basin. Leave St. Louis W at 1:50 P.M., or 20 min late. Rock of Carleton about one mile long and Greenstone Standing near an edge. Harbor has peculiar reputation as Gaspé SS. Look this up, May maybe Devonian. At least one of the vertical surfaces was much slicken-sided, and or maybe jointed and slipped surfaces. Before getting to the next town over, St. Damien; all is fine. I shall be greatly surprised if these strata turn out to be undeformed Bonaventure; they have the characteristics of the deformed Gaspe SS and Point St Peter series. And Alfred about these strata every Carleton, or even E.M. Kindle. Got to Rimouski 30 min late, or at 6:15. Then to Auto to the ferry over the Restigouche River that took me to Chateau Restigouche - cheap, $1.00 mile & passengers up. Took a room with bath, and once once down in the land of comfort, not other it should be but much better than over in Quebec.

Campbellton N.B. Tuesday September 2-1930 It rained but very little during the night not enough to the duck. Anyway my sleep in Fairdays evening train due, and then walked about one mile over along the the In- ternational railway track to see the Lower Devonian that furnished Ford many years ago some fragmentary fish remains and Ostracoda. Beginning about 3/4 mile over of railway station, one sees an exposure about 1000' long of thin bedded (orather dr) schist siliceous or cherty ls with some greenish slightly micaceous fine grained sandstones. The schist l's are faintly spotted with originalization. All dip S.E. varying between 20°-30°. Then in a thickness of these l's of many dozens of feet. And they go on West with lower beds seen in places along the banks of the Restigouche River. At the north end of these ls then appears to be a fault, some primary aplite due to the incompetent sh that came in above. This is a dark blue-black flinty or hardy limestone of about 15' to 20' thick. See section to left. To the E, a higher follows thin bedded dark peculiar mineralized barke ss (have a piece) One sees at least 150' when the section is outbuilt by house. Dips 30° S.E.

Tuesday Sep. 2-1930 continued It is about 16 miles E to Dalhousie where still lower Devonian appears and on the opposite shore in Beaumaris Bay occurs the Upper Devonian Carbo SS Harry the first beds. To the W towards Chatapedia the section goes down in the Richmondian. For that between Dalhousie and Chatapedia most of the area is taken up by Lower Devonian on the S shore, while on the N shore the whole of the Barpe SS come in with the so-called Broomertery above - Point Peter rises. Evidently the Shales lie in low undulations repeating the same flora over and over again. Left Campbellton at 2 P.M. for Dalhousia via a small bus. It took 50 minutes to go the 16 miles. At 3:30 drove off to take another look at Stewart's Cove but learnt nothing new and saw no fossils. Fossils are our particularly plentiful, but good breaks outside of Lep. Chondridulae are very today. Coprolites exist here for five hundred years in now all covered by beach gravel. Wanted to collect extreme eastern or southern end but tide was too high. Got back to Chaleur Inn at 6 P.M. with little accomplished.

Dalhousie N.B. Wednesday September 3-1930 As I got up a decided fog on the lake is always stung just ready to catch the 7.30 ferry to Digir- osha. Just as I got on to head it began to rain hard and kept it up until 11.30 when the ferry was heaved again. As all looked rain I decided to go back to the Inn, but by me P.M. the sun was out and clearing. So I pros. The Onigouaska road N. goes to Monville 40 5 miles and the P.R. Therefore the high hills making the southern mar- gin of the Monville Valley are of the Hopi Miller cliffs. This ferry to ononno only go twice to St. Orner and Carleton and I have concluded to spend the day finding out other land anyl. is this town on the P.R. between these two stations. By the P.R., it is 4 miles to St. Orner and 3 mile to Carleton. The basal crypt. of the "Bemarantins" at Sacra Point male, of but a small part of the 870 estimated by Kindle, It also clumps here one stepy from 1/2 miles further E as seen from the ferry. Here is another hard layer dipping E about 300. All the rest appears to be red muddy soft sandstone. It shone hard in the afternoon.

"Oakhousie, Thursday Sep. 4 1930 A bright but gray winds morning, and I am off on the ferry to Carleton on the north side of the Bay de Chaleur. We leave promptly at 8 A.M. As one goes get a splendid view of the craft from Gacta Point around the gestic Maguaska Point and then a straight craft into Honorelle. To the W one sees the green Upper De- tronian cliffing to the E and then followed by the Bonaventure basal cowl that ends Gacta Point. Farther E the cliffs red and harder sometimes. with harder sometimes malls with the same E, dip on the low and low cliffs are again on rock exposures until one gets to Maguaska Point. All of the craft is called Maguaska and the people get to church at Honorelle anywhere from W of the Landing, or they have 5-6 min steps. that error Prominent Maguaska Point is of hard Bonaventure cowl and the bay of the rocks is about as drawn on pages to left. Around Maguaska Point toward Honorelle the Bonaventure dips to the N. E at 10° and undulates some. Appears to be all to red off shale. Then a long low marshy craft the Barachois of Honorelle River. From Honorelle to St Anne the craft is low and exposed shingle my beach and my beach are not. It keeps in or to about 1/2 mil E. of two church. Farther E for about 1/2 miles of flatland Bonaventure miles that doesn't to see. Then low craft to E of Carleton other the craft is.

This is an interesting and beautiful view, since one sees the high-standing volcanic piles. In early Devonian time it was a regime of volcanic piles, explosive vol- canoes with ash distribution far and wide, and quiet lava flows. Probably also injections.

Thursday Sep. 4, 1930, continued The Hugh Miller cliffs are W of Mapusaka Landing Belm on the greenish Upper Cermian sh and s.s the soft beds making cliffs about 75' high. Less than 1/4 mile N. are the high Red Bonaventure beds in apparent horizontal layers. Arte Land- ing is an arch in the strata (we do not see it over the creek, here is all placed clay onto the Des. eroded away)). To the W the strata descend in low dips and then to near horizontal, should but not half of the mountain end in large rocks almost no cliffs fronts to Flens cnt Point. To the E. of the landing about 1000' the Dermian reappears with E dips and the the Bonaventure basal cnpl. thus make Gaeta Point. Farther E are the Upper Bonaventine red and white hard beds of shs and cnpl. From the sea looking back to Halfmoonie one gets the impression that Stewart's Cove was near the center of a volcano over the high hills to N. and chiefly NW all dip in these directions -- lava flows down the sides of the volcanoes. The E front of the volcanoes is eroded away and eaten into by the sea. From the Ferry deck one also has a somewhat wide view of the high elevated plateau back of St. Owen Carleton and to E. It is not an altogether level plain but rather undu- lating one, but in places the sides look flat. [lower elevated] [upper elevated] Carleton Point sea level the recently formed puffs red cliffs Bonaventure up to here one can see an orthern front of or on the N.

Several small hotels at Carleton. The best looking one is Hotel Delfred. A punch me in St. Louis Hotel. The Bonaventure here must be of the same beds as at Gacta Point. In other words basal Bonaventure coyl, followed sea mound at lowen dip (30°), by the red marl beds with their gones and patches of coyrl. See the several rock samples.

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

It is about 3 miles from Carleton to St. Omer, 5 to Cronville, and about 5 1/2 miles on my farm road to Maguaska Landing.

Thursday Sep 4-1930, continued a roll that must fold like to Richmondian about Ches. Jaw on Hell Panartritic cross s Tmp Jutacem. The Bonarentine is related to the head of shell pan elevated beach. It may have Pleistocene shells [illegible] As this Bonarentine stands in end and as it is folded between here and Magnasha Landing it cannot be re- fined to the typical Bonarentine but must be the equi- evalent of the Point Peter series. It evidently lies upon a dyndrome in Chalem Bay with the northern side having localities in vertical beds. The true Bonarentine fartha east in horizontal beds must make this idea "Bonarentine" = Point Peter series. On account of the high wind all day the Ferry didn't come to Carleton in the evening and Jones left to get back to Fort Dorold. Finally I had a garage man take me to a loading place at St. Cener where I stood over night with a Mr. Allard. After breakfast the next morning (regret) he took me to the garage at Nouvelle because he can could not climb the high hills between the place and the Magnasha Landing. Finally arrived at 9:45 A.M. at the Ferry Landing, time enough to let one see me once the Bonarentine of Gasto Point. I took the 11:30 Ferry leeth Delhousie.

Look at Ellis' report about the structural conditions here. He may have the explanation of these upended cables.

Thursday Sep. 4, 1930, continued It is curious to see the Bonaventure W. of Carle- ton standing in edge. Accordingly it should be Devonian comparable to Point St. Peter series. In character it looks to me like true Bonaventure, but in structure it is De- onian. What does appear to be the same strata that are exposed at Gaeta Point, a thick basal conglomerate folled[illegible] by the brick-red sandy “snail-shell” clays or shale. If this is true the Devonian must be next lower, but I saw none on the shore and inland I had no time to explore, although the topography south of Carleton appears to call for upended strata north under rocks since there are drop-infall like ridges on the rising elevated beaches earlier referred to. The Bonaventure cnyl. W. of Carleton and at Gaeta Point has in certain parts a calcite filling just as found in the Pointe Peter series. Has this a correlation value? I do not remember ever seeing it in the true Bonaventure. The Bonaventure cnyl. W. of Carleton is in the high basal strata composed of small pebbles under one inch, but in the older agglutination border beds are commonly from 2"-4", while many range up to 8". There is a great variety of rocks but the light blue or dark malle of mine than 5-10% of the whole, and including the Percé pink and fellows is does not exceed 15%. All are sub-angular.

[illegible]

Thursday, Sep. 4, 1930, continued with the corners rounded off a little. It is natural that they did not come far. Volcanic rocks are fairly common but do not make up more than 20% of the coryl. The next field of boulders and pebbles appear to be the slabby baspe ss. Folded fin-de-dred sand, sometimes are often seen and partly are white Ordovician. In all of these rocks I did not see a simple joint or even a corind or steurral. Of granite boulders more, and of gneiss boulder size make seem. On the basis of the coryl data, as yet, no clear clue to distinguish the Bonaventure from the Point St. Peter series or even through in the lower baspe ss that down on the Corner of the Beach. It will be the position mainly that will distinguish the various Bonaventure-like coryls.

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.

Friday Sep. 6, 1930, continued Back to the Ocaleum Inn for lunch. Then packed up including one small carton with socks that I will ship at Campbell ton. A busman can of Campbell ton took me in his car from Dalhousie. Left Campbellton at 6.10 P.M. in the Acadian for Montreal. En Route Home, Saturday Sep. 7, 1930 Arrive at Montreal (6.45 A.M.) in cloudy morning. Left in the Ambassador at 7.15 A.M., changed cars at White Erin Junction and again at Springfield. Set home at 8 P.M. A dark Thursday,

New Haven - St. Albans Vermont Friday October 17 - 1930 A fine bright and warm day. Start north at 7.45 A.M. with Professors Longwell and Knopf, in St. Albans. We went north on the College Highway to Greenfield, Mass. Our first stop was at the old Bernardston quarries one mile N. of the Bernardston Inn on the main road N. up the Conn. Valley. It had a good view of the high metamorphics is replete with large crinoid stems. Over it lies the magnetite layer 0-39 inches thick, followed by a thin slaty transition gone to the highly quartzite, the former having the abundance of brachidural everts. The quartzite in the lower part alternates with trails zones that have almost no crinoidal matter, but we did see one bed with inclusions that looked like four specimens of Favosites. The higher quartzite also have tracts of argillite, and the former appears to be all mylonitized, now resembling a metamorphosed small pebble mylonate. We then motored on to St. Albans arriving at 6.45 P.M. at the Taren Inn. We came just 300 miles in about nine hours of actual running time, aver- aging about 34 miles per hour.

The next day Lempree concluded that the 60' lentil may also be in place on the Highgate that was undramming by the sea and that it finally fell over and slumped some. It's ttherefore both a fieldn and a lentil in place. Elsewhere the Drantm rules unconformably the High- gate, showing the importance and extent of the overlap of the Drantm. Later it comes seen that this dist. is not the Orallett. The out thrust of the Grinrocki or what I thought was the Chazy (south of Drantm) is far away. The latter is once intacty the lower Beelemantun. Lempree says the lower white formation is oiliceros and not a limestone, Later saw it is no rather at all. Both are of the Grinrocki formation.

St. Albans, Vt, Saturday Oct. 18 1930 After being camped butas Mrs Knoff did not arrive until 8.25 we did not get started until after 9a.m. Went north to see the Swanton (= Keel) cmyl. All were thrilled at the evidence but no one was finally able to prove if the big ls about 60' long was broken or a lentil resting on the Highgate slate. The bigger one at Rockledge Lamprell felt might be a lentil in the Highgate slate and on which the Swanton cmyl formed unconformity. Then stopped to see the Swanton cmyl, a little north of Keels Corner. Here it soon became evident that the Swanton cmyl lies angularly unconformably above the Mallett sandy (and a quantity of dike cuts cut both the Mallett and the Swanton's dolomite). In the opinion of Lamprell and myself that in close of the Cambrian (i.e. after Highgate slate time) the C. [primary not strong but at least enough to make an angular uncon] was deformed and eroded before the early Ordovician [Bequia] sea thus spread across a hemmorary surface, cutting down the elevations above sea level and making the local lenses of Swanton (= Keel) cmylomite. Long-wrecc caps lie dips and strikes of the C. formations is different from those of the Swanton cmyl. This then proves that the angular unconformity Keilt, Remtara, and down 1/2 mile south Canadian bridge is actually an unconformity, and that Raymond is wrong in saying due is more here. The great holes of ls in the Swanton cmyl puzzle us. The apparent flow structure may all be due to a calefplown

Oct. 18-1930 continued. like growth, and to dolomite inclusions to fall down join a different chemical make-up leading to the dia- gnetic changes to dolomite. In other cases the dol. may have formed in pockets in the cauliflower surface. This deformation at the time of the Cambrian then, is therefore made the barrier separating the St. Lawrence fjord-line into two tracts, a new, or Chazy one and an cadmon one known as the Lavin channel. Again I arrive at the same opinion that I have in my paper on Cogenian trde published this year in the Q.S. A. About 2 P.M., it began getting cold, clouds accumulated quickly and soon it rained hard, followed by hail-snow spells. It the clouded over more, was raw and cold. So a fine morning changed into a windy cold rainy afternoon. How- ever we stuck it out in the field until dark. Just before dark we saw the Grinelli dol. re- trussed on the marble grade to Lorn Bedfordman near the Fonda Lime Quarries. Neither shows any disturbance or alteration.

The first thing we did was to cross St. Albans to near the lake and see the dinosaur resting on the mantle of the Iron Bedlamtown. He saw the actual contact, and it agreed with the place seen yesterday south of Granton near the Finda quarries in the same Bedlamtown mantle. Then walked east across the strike of the dinosaurs [amarguary has been up lately out just Hocks] and over a portion of the Grallett (Keilth's

St. Albans, Vt., Oct. 19, 1930 Sunday A bright cool morning that soon clouded over and slight snow squalls and much wind in the afternoon. Started out at 8.45 A.M. south to Magre Lodge of Brantm cgl. Lay-well was at once attracted by the granite rocks that he thought must be of Old age. However the structure soon showed him that the dip of the slate was at a low angle but mine a layer folded with a low anticline in one place. The whole is much cleared and drawn out explaining why there is granite here. At first the thickness was thought to be over 100' but when the low dip was discovered we concluded the thickness may not exceed or could be allowed 30'. Saw one layer of builder that had much circular cryptogon growth. At another time Keilt & I here to more regulational type of Cryptogon. Then went to see the layer of leaves and the three small ones in the Highgate. He agreed that Keilt is correct in regarding the growth due to Cryptogon that grows in vertical cylinders that we can see at least the first lay by about 5 to 6 inches in diameter. One of the smaller leaves also shows some of this type of Cryptogon. I must look up the building collected to see if figure of Highgate time.

"Sunday Oct 19-1930 continued Next visited Hard Parkers Quarry and looked at Dalorits trilitite dyping. Here are found an abundance of the Orollella or Lennier- Dwell a Jaw mr triliths. Near head of the Orlolatu aquifer lants of light Hue det (reathing a reddish fellow). Over to Orlotatu lies the Milton and all clip at about 250 ft the E. Next we went S.W. to the lake front to see the Arinooti ruling the marble gone of the Reelmontown, but no ac- ctual contact was seen. Here in the Champlain faults. We then autoed back via Leaping Plains [sand roads here] and before getting to Benjia Center saw more of the OReel-like b/cgl. See my earlier notes for the detail of this place. North of Benjia are stopped at a new road side dyping in to Benjia Phyllite. It is a much folded and cleared rock. Laywell took a large piece to show the folding and clearing.

Had lunch at Rutland. Lee. Look at my paleographic maps.

St. Albans - New Haven, Conn. Monday October 20 - 1930 A bright but very cold morning. We are off to New Haven by 8 A.M. and arrived at New Haven at 8 P.M., having come just 300 miles. We came via Burlington, Vergenne, Rutland, Bennington, Lonox, Pittsfield, New Canaan, Farmington to New Haven. At Burlington I went N. of the city about 2 or 3 miles to the estate of the Episcopal Bishop where there on the shore of Chaumont is a high cliff having the over thrust of Brimrock diorite on the Trenton shale. The latter are greatly rolled and dis- torted and split through by quartz veins, while the underside of the Brinrock is flatly dipping thus the thrust comes from the S.E. and not directly E. This is the Champlain fault. It's the
