Wednesday July 13 - 1910 Blane Dalton. Spent the entire day on the hills northeast of the bay measuring the detum and the beaches and then made a large collection of the Archaeoga- thinæ. A fine dry warm day. The beaches are very well marked in the bays and in the valleys inland apparently all the way to the high hills of Lamentian rocks that we are sticking above the flat topped hills of the Cambrio. These old mountains have no level top, are not jagged but have undulatory tops. It is impossible that they are separated by a valley from the Cambrio or that the latter hills face the old land in Cueota. All of the hills seen today are devoid of timber further and there are surprises crowed by low sprawling emifur bushes used by the animals as fire wood. A miserably crumbled stuff for fire wood. Otherwise the hills are crowded by a dust on matters of lickers, omnis and dicstyle dim flowers. Some of these are species that grow in the Ohio valley but in general the flora is an arctic one. Devtin Armstery was around at Brants thm erening.
