Wednesday August 24 - 1910. Left the Gravel at 7:30 P.M. by the onail mans stage. Left Stephenville Crossing at 8:15 P.M. Left at 1:07 P.M. for Birchy Cove and Twin- Hill will leave for home at 4:15 P.M. Coming over the mountain about three to four miles west of Stephenville Crossing we saw that the diorite cuts the Cambri-furns and further that the Cambri-furns sandstone is considerably metamorphosed. The coarse grained quartz grains are tailed a milky white contrasting sharply with the original greenish material of deposition. The sandstone is also considerably hardened and creathus in places into their laminas as if drawn- out. Here then we have the evidence that the intrusive masses from south of Bonne Bay are Post-Cambri-furns in age and belong to the deformation of the Appalachian Revolution.
