Dalkousie Saturday Sep. 2.
Spent the morning on the shore of
Beaumenac Bay to the east of the Obignatha
oray beneath the farm of James Butler.
Found three fishes and one large scale.
Then walked to the west beyond Flumart
Point to see the Devonian beds. There is not
much of an exposure here and no good fishes
were seen but fragments of Bothriolepis.
The Bmarantine conglomerate again caps this
Devonian and has Lillurian limestone in it
sometimes a several feet in diameter. Not of the
hard knotty kind as that seen at the "Pic-
turesque rocks" at Black Cape. There is also
considerable debris in it.
I can see no reason why the Bmarantine
should be of Lower Carboniferous age, if we
as the relations in Quebec go it may be of
any age. Its age must be proven by fossils or
by other beds coming in between these Devonian
and Bmarantine beds.
