Aug 5 Sunday Basque. Spent the day along the Griffin Cove road about the Grand Cave streams. On the Geological map this stream is named the Grand Carierre. The springs here are difficult to secure and the few seen seem to indicate the Basque proprietors held lands. Clarence admits this. He found Rhynchosmia milare. He sent me to take me to this bro. in Mr. Colomitz. The agent of Basque in the Anticosti school is in Mr. Dief. The limestone and shale of the Grand Cave crop out about 1/2 mile further on the stream towards Griffin Cove. Then follow huge blocks for coarse conglomerate with a pebble matrix. This may be a part of the Quebec series. From the Grand Cave towards Pen- insula the Basque limestone again continues for nearly two miles. This shows further that the beds of the Grand Cave are now down in the series.
