July 23 - Dalhousie, Monday. Spent the entire day at Charles Stuart's Cove. Had a grand sleep in the morning. A section is given beyond. Estimated at 204 feet. Dip about 75 deg. north. The highest second coral zone is seen only at two or three and had apparently the same species as in the lower series. I dare not say precisely from it. [illegible] These beds indicate geologic ac- tion during deposition and these beds have affected unlike those lower. Arenues are seen here. Steepen up, the corals reappear. The first masses of eruptive matter is subsequent and broke through and injurious stage of the Dalhousie beds. It may be been the case of the tilting or may have no other thing after the tilting. All my fossils are marked according to the numbers of the section, 1-6. See section on next page.
