Bonnie Bay the fine land rises into Onto whose strata projects would go over the Log Range. True mountain structure. As far as this sedimentaries are concerned does not appear until just a little north of early Bonnie Bay. [illegible] The land is lift and fold between Bonnie Bay and Cape Snying, the northern point to Trout River. On the sea face of the land one sees remnants of beaches (if filled in material) that are most being rapidly eaten into by the sea. In two centuries these erode time. The altitudes of these beaches is about 60 feet above the present sea level. Back of these low beaches in particular places one sees another level filled in place, at an elevation of 300 to 350 feet.
