"Sea did not arrive until late in N.C. time and later in Ordovician time [illegible] around excepting the northeastern side of Newfound[land]. are parts of Newfoundland and Labrador. This is the time of limestone depositing areas that finally terminate in flaccid shale and sandstone deposits (gmes 13-14) Shortly after Ordovician time came the (terminules [Newfoundland]) firth of the Long Range, and on their western side the accumulation of limestone con- glomerates terminating in the first thicknesses of shale and sandstones (gmes 15-16). On the northeastern side there appears to be none of these later deposits (15-16) and it is very probable that no Ordovician was deposited in any part of the southeastern area. The formation of the di. cong'l. and the shale-sandstones seemingly occupies the time of the Trenton-Lorraine.
