Aug 3. Friday, Grand Z. - Basque Basin Left Grand River at 7.30 and by ten was at the Ariscon de la Gran Obiense. Found the place practically inaccessible, the streams high & rain, all the works almost imperceptible. Under these cir- cumstances we seemed but for fossils. Arrived at Bakers hotel for dinner at 2 P.M. Then started out along the Dart- mouth River road to the Pear Mill and then along the Postage Road to reach its end where in the road I secured a number of sandstone fossils. This locality is desired for a fossil, plentiful out of the hills in situ. This is the first sandstone zone 1100 feet above the river- line. Aug 4. Sat. Basque' Spent the morning opposite Basque and found one lone rock filled with Cephalocinina and Chonetes. Did not find the fossil ledge mentioned by Logan. Collected in the afternoon on the Postage road. This time east of York Ave road which is at about 2 miles from Basque village to Postage road locality.
