86 July 27. Bonre Bay, Bad's Havern (Bald Cliff, and) with them sandstone gneiss. Thin or schistose as to repeat our forms. Performs itself once in sandy upward. We estimated this whole series to be at least 1500 feet thick and as it comes in above the Cheyaz and beneath the river-green sandstone - conglomerate series, the force of this whole ought to be [illegible] table head and Parson's sandstone. At the head round the dip of these last slates is 45 S. 45 W. The last of the sandy-slate chain adds another has a dip of 45 S. 45 W. and the river green sandstone a dip of 60-70° N. 45 E. . So it therefore seems that the two series are unrelated to one another and have faults. The whole of the Cow River conglomerate series in faulting out here, relation, the high dips of the sandstone changes to Iron and Hatteras but again it rises again in the gravity direction making an anticline here. They are for into the southern half of Smith's Arm and to the south of Bonne Bay reserve red shale. The crop further north then becomes horn and miles out on in the distance other red shale gives it is plain that the magnified series continues above the pure sandstone-conglomerate series. at Hell Core We camped at 6 P.M., about two miles south of the village of Bonree Bay, in Smith's Arm. The first bed of red shale is at our camp and on this, As I sit before the tent and look to the north over arm Smith's Arm and the land that smokes into Reddys Havern. I see in the far-ground the high range of Lawn Cambrick hills. Back of it further to the south rises an ornament to 2160 feet. Porters' shots are possible in this mountain, back of the latter and once to the west rises a peninsular mountain to 2560 feet. The craggy of granite. Still further to the northwest is the Big Ridge pencil apparently of granite and at a level of 2000 feet and more. All of these measurements are according to Admiralty charts. In five mountain scene this one and the others of Bonree Bay. See other pages 183-
