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.
