"[illegible]" and the Cope Barre beds may
then be confused with no. It seems that the
various beds are more frill forms, further away
from the Laurentian shore and this is particular-
ly true of Barre beds 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 as may be
seen in the Dalhousie ad Pierce localities.
If the Black Cope rocks near Mr. Richmond
bear out this idea then should be interesting
devlopments there. It is said to have a long
section from Silurian into Devonian and this
seems the true so far as I could see for the
strata when we came up to Barre.
Of the Barre ad Pierce anticlines the
latter is certainly the greater elevation in bringing
to the surface the considerable elevation a part
mass of Ordovician rocks. Then again the
great crushing and faulting bears out this view.
It seems to have suffered more erosion than the
Barre anticline join to the Bonaventure formation
as the ridge today and its part mass of Bon-
aventure rocks is no higher than the Barre
