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.
