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.
