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.
