"After suffer I went south across the headland
in part of Mr. Carlin's home to the edge of Bay St. George.
Here the Beeldmantown is present and in thickness all lower
than those seen this morning. This section descends from north-
last from the knarls to the headland that occurs about 1/2 mile
from mouth of Remains Brook. The lowest layers stick out of
the matrix just south of the head land dipping a little early
north. The line of strike would carry those strata south of
Table Port. These strata from the headland at this point which is
about 30 feet above orate level, where they are truncated and
smoothly polished by the ice, the glacial grooves being directed north
but there are also smaller scratches crossing these nearly at right
angles. Going northward toward the knarls we can measure
a thickness of 500 feet of Beeldmantown, even or the base is
not seen. The dips is uniform, a little east of south. What last
seen to the knarls there is an unexpounded sandy head,
the interval being more than 200 yards."
The next day we estimated that there may be another 1000
feet of Beeldmantown between those of Bay of St. George and those
of East Bay Port au Port. Together this would give 1000 x 570 x 240 = 1740'
The only fossils seen by Denton in these older Beeldman-
town are all Cryptogams, and there is an abundance of doge
leaves and crag rocks. As we saw sandstone fine grained like those
of Havre Bay or maybe that Upper Cambria is included in the 1740'
