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.
