Port Daniel Aug 27 Sunday: After breakfast walked over to First Point the other side of Port Daniel bay. The rocks here look much like those seen about once or bacon but then appear to be more limestone horizons. One gne is made of of broken reef ends just as if a big reef was nearby and this material had fallen down into the present location before solidation. Another limestone gne is made of 2 finely thin bands separates by thin bands of shale. Red and green are the prevailing colors in the whole gneiss. Almost at the Point and but a short distance north of the tree, about coral limestone spicled of a flat grit with many valves of a Memmorella. This very suggestive genus indicates that the First Point beds are about the horizon of the reef itself. In going back to Port Daniel drew the section on the previous two pages.
