[Gordon leaves]
Grand Sere - Aug 15 - Tuesday,
Crawled rock all day on the bare track.
Collected a lot of material from two layers
within two feet of each other. Mostly all
bivalves. Many ostracods were noticed
with a few mollusca and some trilobites.
The rock is very hard and flinty and as the
shells stand at all angles many fine specimens
cannot be secured, yet the faunule is very
interesting. Also some lightly colored material from
a few feet higher.
Gordon arrived during the morning and
left for Gaspe Basin at about two in the
afternoon. He will return to Campbellton
on Thursday morning on the Lady Eileen.
The main Sere of this Grand Sere
faunule, I am inclined to be either
the very highest Ordovician or clearly Cam-er
dian, probably rather the latter. Many
of the Ordovician species held over here but
in general only species are of Camberan
affinity.
