April 16th 1908. Had a talk with Gms about the Canada Triassic. Save me his latest pamphlet to read. Rico = Upper Perm- Lower Permian. Transition horizon. Cutler = Permian transition (marine) to continental conditions. Eosaurus beds at this horizon. Erosional unconformity here. Qlores = Upper Trias. Horizon of fossil forest wood. In this horizon are conglomerates the pebbles of which sometimes are of Permian woods. Le David White about this. These pebbles attracted his by Outton and Parcell. Conversation broken into as could not finish. Keith told me something of the Qcore. In the region of the Qcore there was a central mountain core. To the west were laid down four formations into which can be traced some fossil horizon with Lower Cambrian skreen. The two lower horizons do not cross the Onto, the other two do. To the east of the axis are also four formations that seem in a grand way to complete with the four to the west. The two lower ones do not cross the central axis. Considerable exploration here. No glacial evidence. No fossils.
