Thursday Sept 1-1910 Manuel's Brook
Dralett's section (Amer. Jour. Sci., May 1889; 380).
June 1. 35 feet
The basement upon which the Cambrian
rests should not call a "grain". For the greenish finely
crystalline igneous material of which I have samples.
It is very nearly related as in the same sort grain
The surface on which the Cambrian lies is hummocky
but me cannot tell how uneven the floor was. There
are no heads sticking through the Cambrian.
The fruides of the igneous material and of quartz
are well rounded and of all sizes, largest at the base
and becoming smaller upward. It is as described by
Dralett. The smaller pieces due more apt to be angular.
"Strike N. 80 E (mag.); Dip 12 to 13 N."
This conglomerate is decidedly compact and hard.
0-25 feet
June 2. This gneiss not at all well exposed and
t. found
failed the final bed.
June 3. 40 feet.
Saw one n len of Aragonese gneiss.
June 4. 4 feet. Saw.
June 5. Calcareous sandstone, 2 feet, well exposed. A
similar unspidiforms gneiss saw in June 2.
June 6. 270 feet. Breunarjillacens shale. Did
not see the ferruginous sandstone interbedded here.
