"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,
