I had no time today to follow up the shore to the Pre Cambrian strata which continue for another four miles according to the map. The last of the shale series is now, near the Carboniferous conglomerate, stood about vertical but their line of strike was nearly that of the trend of the shore. Just what comes in in these higher beds I do not know but as yet I have seen no transition beds to the Skeldubyian on any fossils conformable to those of Mt. Joli n of Quebec. The fisherman that helped me yesterday is Ensigne Anglehart, Anse a la torte. He cannot write but this name was given me by his wife.
