Port Daniel Aug 20 Friday. Walked this morning to Once a la Barte about five miles east along the coast. Spent a few hours along the shore as far as I could get around and then enjoyed a man with a 'flat' to take me further along the shore towards Port Daniel. He owned one about 1/2 miles. Saw quite a thickness of Silurian strata, a succession of coal goes with almost interminable laminae. Throughout there are always some coals but generally are or scatters as to make no limestones. When the coals are pure limestone results with considerable grindel matter. Let 2 In the soft grey slates on each side of the head of Once a la Barte and westward beyond the stream interesting cephalopods occur. Orthoceras Simplicius, Phragmoceras, Cyrtoceras and another diffly pluted benth forms are the prevailing forms. All are rare. Let 2a In none of the beds did I see a single Breckisford.
