"Elevated beaches barely carried in the Cambrian
sandstone and limestones. There are a great number
of these, notably 8, and are one as plain as can
be -- sloping one a less with beaches with our
cliffs back of each.
No trees are on these first lands only low
manages or spreading spruce, and grassy juniper-like
tusks of eminus, etc. On a deep mottled like
turf. Flowers are plentiful and the scenery
reminds much of Ireland and only there is mine
vegetation here. Strawberries are now flowering.
Near the foot of the hills we saw the Archaeo-
cynathias reef. They are in great abundance
throughout a pink limestone for at least ten feet.
My first conclusion after my experience
or far in Newfoundland is that one are in
a difficult country and that one would not be
good kind. Let us hope for the best,
