68 July 19. Humbu Arm 70 to 200 feet dipper than are. When we got struck 1 mile from the contact ore are dight inclined somewhat metamafilled blue shales and thin zones of sandstone with decided dips having the strike of the Petergore mountains. Farther westward appear red shales along with green shales and thin zones of sandstone cleary of the varigeted series. As for this reason there seem indicated to place all of these strata in the variegated series. It seems hardly possible that the thick Bear mountain dolomite and sandstones could be under the sand delta, and it is certain that if to it is added the Chazy and Table Head series, there will make room due for them between the Petergore and the Variegated series. On the other hand that is here far more marble than the Ordovician caves for. Furthermore the ochist series is something independent of the Ordovician. July 20-1918 Saturday. Curling. It is still raining hard this morning and did not start until 4 p.m. In the morning called on Mr. J. F. Thorne to see what I found him in the supplies in the boat. The bill is $181.38 of which for food is $129.37. The remainder are camp and boat utensils. He will need about 200 gallons of gasoline @ .05 to .06 per gallon, = $10 to 12.00. The oil are get of Mr. Lilly who is agent for the Standard Oil Co. he had to buy 3 more wooden buggies as we now have only three wooden kayaks to slip in. I also see that the trip will cost not far from $2000. The boat cost $640. Total $2640 to Dr. Tyrell. He has paid for it or the boat belongs to Dr. Tyrell.
