Gaspe Aug 11 - Friday In the morning looked over the rocks - Gaspe sandstones - showing along the shore opposite the village beyond Ferry Point. Saw only fragments of plants, all unrecognizable. In the afternoon met Gordon and a Mrs. Riley of Montreal (Marine Invertebrate man) collected at the same place as yesterday after- noon. Found more fossils and two additional species. Gaspe Aug 12 Saturday Set up early and packed a load with fossils before breakfast. At nine took the ferry to Peninsula where we arrived about ten o'clock. Expected to have no trouble to secure a man to take us from Peninsula to Grand Mere and after 1/2 hours crawling around found a man willing to take us down the coast the ten miles if we would wait until he had his hay in the same.
