July 4-1918 Thursday. Little River Directly across the estuary from the Little River railway station or one can be seen a fine glacial cinque. There are two cascades coming down at that time and these unite into a small placin that is quite like tunnelled by a stream. Yesterday we saw two other cignes to the south of here. North Lug Range Fault Scarpe Chinqu Lower plain Lake Level We have a photo of it taken in the morning against the sun. Little River Station Almost stormy, with [illegible] About over all we see that the valley walls rise on far less directly than the Lug Range. The sky-line is flatter and long here in sunlight the Lug Range is much dissected by hanging walls one of which ends in cignues. The western face of the Long Range is continuous and at North Branch we see it for 20 miles to the south and once than 10 miles to the north. It has no spurs extending orsting, but in one fault line scarps. The Windsor series rises up on its side to about 500 to 550 feet above the sea, and here it dips steeply into the mountain. We took the tram south 16 miles to North Branch and in the evening came back to Little River. We are impressed by the straight face of the Long Range Hills. It has no spurs and much of the slopes descended at an angle of 45 to 30 degrees. The upper slope appears to represent the undivided fault line scarps. The walls and cignues cutting through it are all longing walls with their bottoms now estimated to be about 3 or 4 feet or less above the level of the river walls. From the floor of the

July 5, 1918 Port au Port maybe seen exposures of the dinosite in the north gully of the road. Here one of the dinosite is conglomerate but as to what the bottles are made of ore did not determine. This must be done before we leave this area. In about a 1/4 mile one came upon the first exposure of the dinosite [Specimen 1]. Rising of the road one came upon other exposures (Specimen 2) of the same ore, then to a small firm and easily fracturing mass and down a more crystalline ore (see sample). All this in about 1/2 mile. Then in about 1/4 mile one or are near the center of the mountain where there are great exposures of the dinosite, all placiated and especially on the sides of the vertical cliffs. Farth down the eastern side one also saw placied strias and large The strias of these glacial strias have been seen in the eastern side at 66° W. gorges (see their). Just before one came to contact with an alluvial sandstone there was an opening made for prospecting some days. Here the dinosite is most granular. The note on the fore mining face refers to the exposures here. Rising on over this in considerately the sandstone, say for a half mile, when one comes upon another dinosite more quartzitic and with more feldspar than before (See the Specimen). Going down the hill one again came upon great thick mass of the dinosite that continues to the bottom of the mountain, and here are again saw the contact (around alluvial, creating other, say for hills area) as in the top of the mountain amid the sandstone. As this sandstone is a heavy beds and is wholly unlike

July 5 - 1918 Port au Port The Carb here the question must be asked again, what is the age of the sandstone that the diorite cuts? It maybe even if pre-Cambrian age, or one may have to assume that the Indian Head range was a mountain ridge in the Brindon sea floor hard and resistant to the weathering away. Against it and now it finally was deposited the Brindon series completely burying it. Today it sticks out 2290 feet high and on the Brindon is one of 4000 feet thick, these deposits could easily have covered it. Later on the sea Brindon was worn away leaving the Indian Head range sticking out as we see it. Before more to: If the pebbles in the Brindon are of this diorite one will have proved that the Indian Head range is not an intrusion into the Carb. Its age is then unknown. The next day Edwards returned and gathered some pebbles. There are none of diorite but there are of the quartzites. See the speciman. From this we see that the sandstone are pre Brindon. There is nothing of interest to relate further over until we came to Romarre Brook where the Brindon conglomerate and gypsum cliff is well exposed, most of the brook rises Table Mountain to 870 feet and are of Ordovician age for the grounds according to up to Romarre brook (Stansleys map). and forms The placers strikes first seen rising over Indian Head had a strike of 70° E. On the tip of the mountain and 300 feet above the really on the cliff sides we again saw strike and a polished surface striking 68° E.

16 July 6-1918 Saturday Gracch-Potau Pot.- Gleemartown. Rising in Section. Started in at the eastern end of the Granch. Here are long bedded, dense, dark-colored limestone with an occasional thin one of shaly limestone of a greenish red and rusty color. Fossils are exceedingly rare. Got a Stromatoproid, Ceratopyga, and little balls of Cryptogon. Also saw small disinturds of Endocerids, a small circle cephalopod and small machines like shells. The limestone are often striated and in one of the layers saw introduction of enclominate. Also thin beds I saw evidence of some brooding. In some creeps there lies remnant of Lourville but all low white in color. Ho'd 127.30 E. We see well exposed 25' on the western side of the houses on the Granch. Fossils are formed from two of section at eastern end of Granch. Thin follows a thin foot bed of greenish-lacery li. replete with horn Helicostoma, and rarely a small Maclewa. Also an Orthoceras. Cryptogon are common in small beach. All of the greenish beds have fossils and especially Cryptogon. Two feet of shaly red and rusty limestone. Three feet of greenish ornamental marvy dense li. These greenish beds all lie Four feet of shaly red and rusty li. Thin foot of greenish dark colored, marvy li. Four feet milky white dense li Three weeks of greenish-dark-colored li. Four feet of dense lacery light dark colored li. Two feet of greenish-dark colored li. One to two feet of orange-enclomitic Cryptogon li. Twenty (20) feet of light dark colored (marrying local) li. Five feet of hard greenish-dark colored li. with thin layers common.

18 Chazy July 6 Great. Erased. Undulations at about 12 miles taken up by Chazy li. Below the beds are light colored and mottled red li. Above are the dark heart beds of the Chazy magnesian limestone. At one the undulatory zone we began the Chazy. There is at the base about 2 feet of the mottled red layers li, like that of the Beechman ton. This seems to militate against the value of the undulatory zone as a dividing line but if the sea got this material from the Beechman ton then it should have its character under current. In a few feet we get to see an abundance of reptilian Chazy frosts and as they are very different from those of the Beechman ton, then must be a break in definition between the two. Let's frost A. The Chazy frosts do not come in in abundance until 50 feet above the base. Then they are fairly common in the three dense dark gray heavy bedded li. From Gumban I copied this:- "About 14 miles north of the Grants a fault cuts the Chazy, its plain dipping 26° about S 60° E. Beyond this the Chazy continues but the dip is 140 due North. In this part of the Chazy occur the fossil bryoz., and Stromatocrinus. "The north end of this formation has a double fault and be- tween them is a west-south fault, the strike of the east fault dip- ing due north and of the west frost N. 30° W. Coming to the east side of the formation, going south are start down across through the section. A few yards from the frost is a vertical fault bearing due north and south with slicken-sided and floors showing ver- tical movement. On both sides is still Chazy. To the over

The dip of the bottom is 60 to 70 N 30 W, and the Windsor dips less than 45 degrees due east. Windsor conglomerate here on the level intention where it lies in a roller and running either way on the road to the higher land. The Windsor [illegible] about 6 feet thick here are the actual overlapping basal sliver green sandstone, decided conglomeratic with the limestone joints and angular out angular and jell sizes up to 4 inches across. Above these conglomeratic sandstone of joints 20 to 30 feet thick we saw a little gray (lead metal) in the Windsor dolomite. In the course of the past Dominion Iron and Steel Co we also saw crushed Windsor dolomite. It lay near the upper fault face, dipping away from it as usual (dry) and all round truncated edges of the crushed. As the Windsor overlaps the lead mantom and Chazy in the lower places it is clear that a thin sheet about 100 feet would dip it in the true cross as we say it today. The faulting is therefore not extensive. In the afternoon we examined the eastern side of East Bay from the first exposure of Beechmont on south of the shores between the two through a high sandstone atop of which is the village of Port au Port, at about one and half miles. Near the base of this I saw somewhat for more below a zone of Cystogroms. The dip here is 160 to 30 Dr (time and t). At 125 feet above the base there is a local drag fold that changes into a fault. In the down thrown beds all are crushed Drag fault [illegible] down throw many beds. See the photo.

It dips and 120 feet down through the B. is to 30 degrees due east. From here in 115 feet mine of B, with many Cryptograss. Here there is also the undulating originally, line that separate the light colored yellowish Beedmantown from the dark-fay Chazy [I]t's the same lithology as in the great quartz seen this many. There can be no doubt that the Beedmantown is decidedly broken for land interval from the Chazy. Cryptograss goes to within 30 feet of the Chazy Chazy, we saw many and here at 115 feet beneath the [illegible] Tintal Cretacypen (have 2 specimens). It is there upon 30 feet of the Beedmantown that we have now seen three times beneath the undulating line that separates the B from the Chazy. What we saw of the Beedmantown this afternoon has a thickness of about 240 feet. The Chazy lies as on the south side of East Beech upon about 2 to 3 feet of marble and beds. Hamley gives the thickness as 870 feet. The Chazy antiquities along the coast for about one mile. On the lower part of the Chazy we saw another core with the Brandon dolomite let down. The northern faulted wall of the core is outcropping striking S. 20 E. Vertical fault Chazy this fault was Core and area not seen. Here are other small faults in the Chazy but all of nearly similar gear things, as the dip remains uniform. Lumban says the Table Head beds are faulted down. This may account for the small thickness seen here, only 74 feet. The same may be true for the Parsons.

Later, went as far as Ship Cove and returned to Port-au-Port. From the eastern end of the Islands around the point southward and descending the heights consist of an alternating series of light colored and dark clay about 60m thick a thin and heavy beds.

We see here [see me specimen] about four faults one duplicating about 100 feet of strata and another that brings up at least 40 feet older strata when the section again crosses on our way to the west.

In one place (the raised up fault) here the beds in my foot are very thin, dolomitic sandstone. This probably changed quite some when being got created. In many places we are interesting conglomerate ones of which are extensive, but not or persistent and in thick beds as in the higher dolomites associated with the fine grained sandstones. We then drove on and examined Campbells Creek Core, Abrahams Core and finally Shipos Core. In all of these places we are in the lower part of the sandstone series, or in the line of strike of the formation and do not get out further southward or as to get into older beds. We accordingly at Ships Core decided to turn back and return to Pat au Par. From Shipos Core we have a good and dry drive northward across the crater to Little Green Garden (8 miles) and on to Cape George the western headland of the Peninsula. As far as one can see there are in the distance no high ledges and the right hand makes down to the water. In Felix's Core we have the clearest evidence of an elevated sea beach at about 40 or 50 feet above the sea. A natural terrace upon the sea front here has its surface covered with rounded pebbles just as on the beach below. We can see this old beach and its islands on the beach on which are the picturesque houses and gardens. Spring on eastward we see farther inland and it must higher.

July 8-1918 Dentals notes As dental notes are more detailed I only report his notes does. “Beginning at the west end of the frarels and going south- west along the shore of Bay St George successive lower beds of the Bell- manum appear all dipping about 20°N, 20°W. Below the upper 155 feet of B. studied northwest of the frarels on July 6 can here ex- plained 1058 feet of similar strata composed of alternating lighter layers with light banding and hearing darker layers. These beds form a belt 920 fathoms wide stippled across the strike. Here we began to study the sequence going from in the series as we went on toward. The series continues without much change for an additional 201 feet, consisting of dolomite in lighter and darker beds alternating, the lighter more then bedded than the darker. Ripple marks are seen at various levels. Some crinoids present. Cryptoagra are well developed. In some of the layers. Choran & red layers of intraforma- tional conglomerate with fairly rounded pebbles, some of which are snicks lay. Bathstords are oft to occur in the layers with Crypto- gra, but more are seen in the lighter banded dolomite. “ This makes a total of 1413 feet below the Chazy. There are come on 20 feet of hearing bedded and more reddish dolomite with kuriononia cephalopods and many specimens of Rellingsella This is a well rounded faunal zone.

The eastern part has the structure of a syncline and is formed of the laminated series seen at Drum of Drum Core. In the middle part of the core the lower 40 feet of the laminated series is repeated by a fault running N.70 E. and dipping 70 S. 50 W. showing a distinct drag indicating that the west or hanging wall has gone down. "All the beds in this core show effects of metamorphism in them, the schiel is darker reddish than normal. [To John: whether this change appeared to be due to pressure fracturing my mind, and then the aerial status deposited the iron in the course of the process] "The laminated beds are here cut off by another fault run- ing N.70 E and dipping about 75 S.20 E, with a heavy drag and much fracturing of the footwall showing that the west wall has come up. This brings to view 50 feet of loose shales. These are dark and red and in bands 1/2 inch or so in thickness. The surfaces of these bands have a sort of metallic film and they are nearly covered with fine ridges little markings, mist mud cracks and ripples. "Below these layers and as traveling on to the outer edge of Felix Core is exposed about 120 feet of stiff brown shales con- sisting of reddish sandstone in thin beds alternating with some thinner bedded lagers. These are marked at various levels.

July 10-1918 Pot au Park Wednesday. Expected to get up in a fine sunny morning, but instead it rains lightly. It may clear enough for us to get away. At 10.30 A.M. we go aboard our boat. On the shore the shore is pretty and this part not less than 100 feet where the bottom is blue mud and thickly covered with Amygdaloidites. We are anchored in 15 feet of water and see hundreds of the echini with a few fork spray algy. The bottom for the shore the distance is about 500 feet. Flatheads are common but we do not see them until they slowly move about the bottom on the river far in front of our launch. After two hours of going in the launch we camp at 1 P.M. For a small river. Another place safe for the boat. We are now about 10 miles from where we started to start in. It is misty and raining and nothing can be done today. On each side of the river there is an elevated beach 15 feet high that we tend to the southward for a mile or more. At 3 P.M. in the mist Duncan and I walked along the shore north of Ben-mint's Brook for about 4 miles. Coming the brook from the far one at once came upon a long exposure (1/2 miles) of a dural amygdaloidal basalt showing the prair pillar structure very clear. The contact somewhat up-stream of this basalt (the red area marked t on Sharples maps) is from interrupted with a small exposure of sandy shale. Then the trip continues upstream for about 1/2 miles. Every now and then there are included gives a few feet thick of the sediment and in one place there a gore of about 20 feet across of volcanic breccia, bare a piece of it. Of this breccia one sees many patches all along the exposure. The amygdaloidal structure is wonderfully developed and in places made up one-half of the rock.

July 11. Tattle Head Core and north along the shore for only 300 feet. This initially outcrops directly by the Crow Head Craglimestone Then all at once comes in the Crow conglomerate. This fault line is here for immediately back of it are the Tattle head Shales. The angular limestone faults are here enormous and two far from exceed 2 foot in diameter. It is a mass of angular broken of Chazy limestone with occasional small pieces of upper Bedlamton. Rarely one sees at once 4 or 5 feet seems to be seen, nor is there any fault to find together the limestone rather than its own debris. In one place one sees a block of upper conglomerate and lower Bedlamton conglomerate about 20 foot long by 6 foot thick. This a block in the Crow Head conglomerate. One half mile north of Tattle head core appears a mass of dark green sandy shales, as if it were inter bedded with the conglomerate. It looks to be the same shale seen at the northern end of the Tattle head core underlying the Crow head conglomerate. Three foot from pebbles only of it. Blue green About one mile north mud shale is squeezed in between the blocks. This may represent an intruded dyke of open shale, now crushed and re-jointed. Conglomerate and in place, part blocks of the shale are present. Then the conglomerate becomes finer and is mixed with the shale. Finally reaching the shale - conglomerate comes in once again not unlike there at the mouth of the exposure. This is an 1/2 sandstone may be about 10 feet thick. There underlying the Crow Head conglomerate, its own mudstone. About 4 miles north of Port au Port are just a few pebbles in shore lips or 3. See the specimen, label says put no 5 but 3 is correct. The next higher sandstones are common and have field for grains. Our small concretions. About 1 mile north of Port au Port are the nice if folded red and green

42 July 12-1918, Friday, Long Point. A start at 6.30 and had breakfast at 7 A.M. We leave camp at Fox Island Point, and at 9 are on our way past round nears the motu to Long Point. We get to shore at 10.30 A.M. It stormed with thunder and lightning but with not much wind. We kept dry and without mishap. This morning all is fog and we can see only half one mile ahead. As we pass Fox Island we see through the glasses that the land consists of the coarse tessel flow that we examined on July 10 north of Bennett Bora. When we get to the Long Point shore about one-half miles south of the light house we come over to the other side. Here are exposed flint [clay half in shale] sandy shales interbedded with thin fine grained sandstones (2 to 4 inches) and an limy calcid. in the right occasional thin limestone. In the full mile we can see 70 to 100 feet of these strata, dips 20° N. 54°. These strata are replete with the species of Oolith stellithis (very slender, medium, and large), once or than any Richmond- cian strata shore seen before. From the center of this area to the top fossils come in fairly common. Bivalves are most common hackidords [?] for four [thoroughly matted oys], species, all common especially a semiplicate Plectambritis and Bradystria mites, and a Dalmarella. In one layer just below the bivalve zone occur Illaenus, and on this layer we also saw either Dendrocrinus or a similar armed Elytrocirrus. Towards the bottom a large Rafinesquina is common along with Tarrnits, a sponge. On the east shore of the Peninsula are exposed thin bedded mudstone a thick origin at about 5 miles south by three done estined limestone. We estimate the land to be 600 feet wide . . . of it
Page 59
July 12. Long Point These strata underlie the green shale material about 300 feet, then may retrogress to some extent in the afternoon worked along the inner side of Long Point in the limestone series. What we have seen may amount to 50 feet thick as the beds strike away on the peninsula. We estimate to have seen at least 125' before the facing against the peninsula, but for this maybe the more correct thickness, just of strata. These limestones often have zones of rocks and other pockets interbedded with the dark colored argillaceous limestone. These beds are also riddled with Butcherfish. Some riffle in several places. Also considerable subangular with fragmental cylindrites gone. This all a very shallow water deposit. The limestones gradually go over into the shale series seen in the morning, have about 20 to 30 species. The last dip measured to the north of the light house was 20° N. 60 W. Took to 2½ miles south of the Long Point light and see again the thin beds here are seen this morning on the western side of the Peninsula. In all of this distance we are not more than 150 feet of Richmondian. Later from the boat it looked as if about the same 150 feet of Richmondian continued all the way into West Bay a nearly 1½ miles from Long Point light. In this distance the shore runs along the strata and the strata are but slightly undulating. As the marine clay or somewhat sticky sort ends, so the dip cliffs them near into the land contour, it appears that going north to the point of Long Point the two sets of strata come and other ending today and it is here at the base of western set that we get the best fossils. Let the top of the limestone clear me for a fine Pleurostites. The two sets of strata form partly into me another. All are very shallow water deposits and the Autogria Richmondian turns out the inner horizon. At 7:30 we got to our second camp site in West Bay about 1½ miles from Long Point. We are among the cypress, and a fine outlook across the inlet to the east. We came supper at 9:15 P.M. We are camped about 14 miles south of [illegible]

44 July 13 - 1918 Long Point. Started out with the launch at 8 A.M. and went north five miles. Then crossed the peninsula here 1500 feet wide and came out at Black Duck Cove just south of Black Duck Point. Here the sea throws out a thin bedded sandy clay material with some thin limestone. There are many bookshells in this place. One judges these beds to once be the Rich sandstone and harder than anything else, one saw yesterday on the eastern side of Long Point. Some of the sandstones are red like the Devon but the fossils are those of the Richmondian. Then Dunton walked north about 1/2 mile to Black Duck Point in Maryland and found it to be a coarse brick red decidedly cross-bedded sandstone devoid of fossils but clearly belonging to the Richmondian. It is not so because of the red color and the coarse nature of this sandstone that it was mistaken for half gray to the point in the bedded red sandstone he got specimens of Styphoroma fluctuosa (see the 2/8/1919). See Dunton's account of how let beyond. He then walked on the one half mile and found the oyster beds there to be like those we are collecting in Black Duck Cove. See his description on the next page. On the eastern shore of the Peninsula other we started in we collected a few things in the thin bedded blackish argillaceous limestone just above the series of limestone seen yesterday beneath the clay series of Long Point, slip 200/8/19. The limestones below are here wonderfully interesting for their cups of Monstrupus. Some of the heads are 3 feet in diameter and 2' high. In many places they pear one upon another; there may be half a stratum to 60 feet thick. Every where are scattered individual heads. We have several pictures of these cups. As a rule the heads

July 13. "Following the line for a distance of about 2 1/2 miles to the north and northeast, one passes through ~ great thicknesses of freemill, red and Haclish shale with thin shreds of sandstone, all steeply dipping edges and cut across by the same. These beds only dip about 60° E. There must be a fault here for the succeeding bed dips N. 5° W., and they form a continuous section of 1357 feet in thickness to the base of the Long Point Series [In the present all of these strata must be added to the Parsons series] "The sequence as measured in detail from the base up is as follows: 200 feet. Dark gray to black sandy shale and thin layers of sandstone, dip near N 60° W, 50° E. 200 feet. Freemill clay, even grained sandstone at base but becoming coarser at 15 feet up and passing into conglomerate with the pebbles mostly the size of peas and consisting of quartz, red feldspar, Haclish chert, dark shale etc. Among these are many scattered pebbles of later age which are angular, many of the latter of local material. They are often 6 with a or acorns. These beds become very massive in the upper half. Many round cannon ball-like concretions from 3 to 8 inches in diameter occur. The upper half of the beds consist of an alternation of bands or lenses of conglomerate and free grained sandstone. The upper beds are much jointed and fractured. Smaller a small headland, Fault 100 feet. Grey fine and even grained Haclish freemill shale, weathering dark red. Dip 45° N, 25° E.

July 14, Clam Cave. About 1/8 of a mile from the shore then strikes out a direct line- that makes a mile white stone dipping steeply into the land. The strike of this ridge is only that of the hill mountain and this limestone is full of joints and as Monocline and other faults. Also there occur at about here an iftle for the immigration. pools red are common it is concluded it like the Chagres bank of j & It is therefore more fruitful for the mining in one of the ridges mountains. In about 1/3 of a mile across the land then are two unrelated series of strata - Devonian, Redmondian and [illegible] and they must be separated by a fault. Evidently Long Point is due to faulting and the swell of St. Lamere is cut down in a series of step faults. Dunbars note regarding the strata seen to the south of Clam Bank Cave, and in the Helderbergian is as follows:- "The southern point of Clam Bank Cave is formed of greenish gray sandy shale showing up fine development of sun cracks. These beds are dipping steeply about S 20° E. In the next half mile there is a shallow cave where the strata strikes out in an angle across the shore or that succeeding down layers come in to the southward. About 200 feet of these red shales and their bedded black sandstone are exposed in this second cave. At the south end of this cave is exposed heavy beddened limestone and much cross-bedded deep red sandstone. In the middle of the cave the dip has gradually decreased to 38° S, 20° E, for the conglomerate. At this point about 50 feet of the cave is exposed. Two classes of pebbles are to be seen in the conglomerate. Both of them are well rounded or subrounded and foliated. Those are all of hard rocks, rein quartz, quartzite, as dark specks are all. Some of these are as large as 4 inches across.

Car contains red film and black (fine) like they were from camp, much crushed and marked shales with them sometimes. They are of the oysterfaced series, and are probably ejected if from the profile. This is about 2½ miles south of Cape Horn where we came upon blue to black limestone shale and some concretely peeling limestones. One are for light chlorite clay. These strata are related with a peculiar profittile fauna that contain faunal elements of the Beadmontown and Hornawkill. Small Phyllopodites Tetraraphites, Haldymorphites and many other forms occur here. Also a Longina is common. Otherwise nothing. If this is of the Tate head series it is a different and seeming pelm fauna than this one. At the head that distinguishes West Bay from Piccadilly Bay occurs the Car Head Concretions. The man makes a left and side ridge and the thickness may be 500 feet or so. He could not measure it because no bedding can be seen. The Car Head concretions more shows bedding planes. The fragments are small under 1½ inches thick at times one sees piece up to 4 inches. No large masses occur here. All the fragments are of the Chepy and are angular. In Piccadilly Bay at the end of the Car Head cowl, we again came upon the Hornawkill proft-lite fauna but the fauna is far poor developed. Bring further into Piccadilly Bay, after an unrefined space one comes upon another up series of Car Head concretions. Here the fragments are also small but there are pieces up to 2 feet across. This second group must be faulted in to repeat the same succession as...

July 16 - Tuesday. Middle Point. Rained hard last night and this morning there is a raining fog. By 10 A.M., it has cleared enough to start on our journey. Our boat takes us across to the middle of the western side of Middle Point but we see no rocks. We remain in the boat until within a mile of the northern extremity and then proceed on Middle Point (= Middle Peninsula). On shore, there is a [illegible] crushed series of thinly bedded sandstone separated by thin zones of shale all of which are to be seen. [illegible] of greenish or light blue clay. Towards the joint orthogon of the strata are to be seen on either shore. On the eastern side about 1 mile from the point [illegible] spindles of a lime slate with Richardsonian prints like those found at Clear Banks Cove. Other loose pieces were seen along the shore in the next half mile southward. Kept the first slate formed on hand here. These data are [illegible] by boat [illegible] We then proceed about two miles more south-eastward and south south-half of the long shores. Here we are in the consolidated shale series seen in the north part of mine of the Richardsonian sandstone and conglomerate are present. The upper part of the section resembles that found at East Bay. Here, we continue to within 1/2 mile of the Dominion Dam and [illegible] Shale Coquimbo. Here they are unconformably overlain by the Brinkon series. [illegible] All of these shales are named by Hardy as Brinkon series. The genus has a green one foot thick of bi calycomate and the small perforate shell animal. The Brinkon lies nearly horizontal but is undulatory due to deformation. It begins with a braided bed 6 to 10 feet thick. The borders are subangular and a size up to nearly 2 feet across. They appear to be all of the white and black fine grained sandstone and dolomite of the Bedlamation. Above lie thinly bedded shale, sandstone and shales, some sandstones and four conglomerates. A peculiar feature of the chosen beds are their contorted and even folded nature due to slippage while the ones were still soft. [illegible] above and between the beds are granular stratified. See the photos. On these lower beds I saw a few small [illegible] and a rare

Specimen of the common tree studied but here only half the size of those in the dolomite, the drinon along the shore shows a thickness of about 60 ft. It is exposed along the coast for one-half mile. Then it is faulted against the Talle Head series that is exposed herein and from a little upon a few hundred feet when the drinon is again present up to the Chazy rocks. The latter then continue to the quarry of the Dominion Iron and Steel Co, 4 miles from Port au Port. Of the Talle Head series there is just exposed here are the thin fossil frutle limestone seen on July 10 and that have a thickness of 25 ft. The immediately found three entire specimen of Ambyzium matton and themong payments. One large one half but once more darked. The entire peninsula sticks above sea level at most 8 feet and in then covered with from 6 to 8 feet of peat. At the bottom of the peat are the roots and stems of a stunted forest overwhelmed by the great flora of little plants, Crethuson and many other arctic plants. One walks on it like on a mattress. No trees are on the peninsula, but in a few places there are some stunted emifs in clusters. Denton was greatly interested in this flora, and it reminded me of Labrador and less so of Greenland. There one more great faults on either end of the tranjugated series as one of the sandstone are present, and at the other end there is no Cnr Head conglomerate and the associated sandstone. It is known interesting to see that it is a tranjugated series that follows beneath the Richmondian.

62 July 17 - 1918. Wednesday. Dominion Q. to Bluff Head. The first day in Newfoundland. Before morning. We walked two hours at the Campyge bed about 1/2 mile southwest of the Dominion Quarries, but about one degree entire trilobite. The boat went to Port au Port from rail and gasoline. We had an early lunch and left our third camp at noon in the soft shore and Bluff Head. As we got toward the east side are here a fine area of the Osts boundary of the land, it is plain that the limestone strikes once and once into the sea by the strike of the strike on the Ont. Then the land as are for meander. This is probably the reason why one does not see the li in Hunter Arm. Further more as we go north we get into grayw dolomite. At 2:30 P.M. are we within 1/2 mile of Bluff Head and so ashore, we begin with some marked beds of red shale and olive green sandstone and are so conglomerate like those noted on July 11. It's the continuation of the section then uncompleted, soon all is interbedded coarse sandstones with finer conglomerates like those below. and arkose conglomerates in one place there is a 10 foot bed of conglomerate the fragments of which are made up of the formation itself, ranging from coarse sandstone and shaly sandstone. The boulders are well rounded and range up in size Another thinning gray ones with a patch of Conglomerate. to 18 rocks across. That is 700 to 800 feet of these sandstone. Then a vertical standing little of red shale and dark blue shale interbedded with the sandstone, Then a valley and a gravel fill, it is about 1/4 mile across this core to other. the arches can again expand, here are small marked red shales with zones of then fiddler sandstones. Then a very much crushed zone of the olive-green sandstone with large masses of limestone. The latter are broken for an extent and maybe of the Pabandonion.

Bluff Head to Cole River At first I think the pencil material is diorite but it soon becomes plain farther around towards the north where there is exposed a red thinnning of the upper clivins from sandstone. Bluff Head sticks boldly through the sandstone. Below is the biellared lava like that seen on July 11 and above it the red amygdaloidal tuff while higher the main mass is of a pencil diorite. We have several pictures to try out this later injections into the diorite. Also have several samples. At the contact we see no very small are oretamphrons. The sandstone is of coarse mud level and shale has become flint-like. The lack of crushed against amorphous is striking. Quinton thinks the pillowed lava is a very recent intrusion, even post-Paleogic. This does not seem to me to be true. As we go along the craft north to Cole River = deepentine river we again seem to be in the varigated shale series for several miles and then for about 1/2 mile come up to the river on south, thin red dull dark shale interbedded with with sometimes a limestone. These from the boat seem to be the upper Richmondian series. If so this will be an interesting occurrence. The next day the trees proved to be li = Table Head series = later As we came along the craft we see that Fox Island is cut off by the sea train plane that stands at about 170 foot above sea level. This same level as elevated thinner over an at several places along the main land. In place it is round another cross bedded sand showing plainly that the sea was once here. Back of the ascending slope there and the low cliff. Another elevating tract is at about 25-foot and is crowned with head material, below this. We camp at Cole River (a door stilling hithers man flee) at 7 P.M.

July 18-1918, Thursday. Coal River At 8 A.M. we start with the Trail smith / Coal R. to see the top of the origination series and then the higher thin folded series. The [illegible] series is at hand 4 miles south of Coal River. Near high crushed red shales on either hand. After about 1/2 mile north there are 2 or 3 grams of heavy loddled blue fine medium grained sandstone and thick beds of dark blue-blue shale with a little of mica. A half mile further north there loddled fine grained purplish-gray sandstone are interlaid with greenish slate flint shales. All are highly involved and more or less marked. Over are given conglomerates but not like the Cow Head Limestone conglomerate from which they can be seen, not even fragments. We regard it all as of the series [illegible] (the great base of Red Rock Crag) We again go north about 1 1/2 miles south of Coal River and from here north is an ascending section. to the river there is a highly involved marked out involved series of thin[thin?] loddled sandstones and dark shale. Our may fragments are interformational conglomerates [illegible] in a direction as thick over 2 feet thick and around others of bottle conglomerate seemingly are deriving from as from the Table Head Series. the same formation? But a ornamentally marked and sheared series, We have four pictures for titles from the area. The series must be faulted at both ends to bring up this form mass into the younger origination region. At the south end of the 1/2 mile of Table Head series just described there on an effusive mass of the fillers have been seen or often here. There is another one just north of the Coal river mouth. Near the northern and we get [illegible], [illegible] and Lignite coal near the southern end and foot of ft. The thickness of the series cannot be even estimated though it is intensely folded in the entire 1/2 mile distance seemingly the thickness cannot be less than 700 feet and may be a great deal thicker. Once there one half of the series is shale, green and dark to brown-black limestones. The other half is made of crasings of red sandstone and densely blue [illegible] that folded in thick[thin?] (blue mud?)

Just north of the river mouth igneous man and chalus of the navigated seem cut again fresh. There at least not 700 yrs then another pillow lava effusive appears, there leaves them intact for % mile with just limestone inclusion. Then all is distinct mod to and including Bear Head, Hawleys only cals or we trip but it is one distinct in serpentine. Just to the north of Bear Head [in Bear Cove] there is an isolated reef sticking out of the sea and another smaller one near the land. The outer one was visited by Denton, he states there is about 100 feet of limestone conglomerate here, the parts of limestone up to 3 foot long are generally flat ones and subangular. It in Hawleys and the Cow Head Conglomerate but one higher in the navigated series. From Bear Head north for 2 to 3 miles the hard land between the distinct areas shows along the coast the navigated seem, there it is less marked and lies fairly evenly bedded dipping to the northeast at about 30 to 35 degrees. We left Coral River at 2.45 P.M. and at 7 P.M. we are opposite Woody Island. We got to [illegible] Curling in Bay of Islands at 8.45 P.M. The distance run today was 35 miles, stopping at Tourist Hotel. In going along through the islands of the bay and Hunter Arm one gets the impression that the exposed rocks are of the navigated series, but in the [illegible] there might be little the Table Head Series or even the upper Richmondian.

July 19. Friday Humber Arm He started at 9 A.M. with James O' Routes launch of the Humber Arm in a dark morning. It soon began to rain and it continued or all day. The hardest raining day of the trip. It is our plain that all of Romley's Cambrian-Ordovician (his green area) is Pottergrie. He went up the Humber river about 3½ miles and went ashore at the "Limestone Quarry" where marble is quarried in the paper mills. This is a white and yellowish marble with blue grays standing nearly vertical. It is once or less cracked and in another place was somewhat schistose. See the samples. One mile down stream we saw a dark micaceous schist with grains of schistose limestone. It is much crinkled and deformed. Another mile down stream in Martle Head and it appears to be the same marble seen farther up stream. This marble is all of 3000 feet thick and may considerably exceed this thickness. The schist is as thick though the marble appears to be thicker. He saw these beds for 3½ miles and as the dip is nearly vertical and as the river cuts practically across the strike it is certain that the thickness in fault of what I saw from the railway window in 1900 as ledged rock is truly such that this is an area of vertical strata of not less than 7 to 8 miles across. As this is nothing Paleogric looking at my these rivers and as they are far more metamorphosed than the deformed Paleogrics it is plain that they cannot be regarded as other than a Pottergrie age. The thickness appears to very great. The contact between the Pottergrie highland and the Paleogric lowland along the river is hurried beneath a thick mantle of present sand and boulders. The latter is the old delta of the Humber when the sea level stood above.

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.

July 21-1918, Sunday. Curling A fine cool morning. Could not get breakfast until 9.30. He started work at 10 A.M. In the first cut on the railway west of the station they and third bedded light-grey slate. are seen quartzites standing in edge. The interbedded lime shales along close to Schistosity. The strike of the strata is that of the NE to the ESE, NOE 10 degrees. There strikes NNE at all in harmony with the general trend of the NE of Strathgrym map. JN. The thickness of the completion is about 200 feet. In general the dips is stuff at the north. All through the Hunter Arms I think the strata are of the Mancunian series, thank the alternation of green and red shales is less prominent here than to the south. The series is darker or far as the shales is concerned, and the sandstones lighter. While there is at least one very thick green shale we see now. The red slate quarries are in this green bed side of Hunter Arms. I at Sandmuidge a few hundred yards more are again in an interbedded sandstone-shale series. The dips here is to the west with the strata almost on end. Are they're have here thus folding where the sandstones are relieved with minute low dips in between with the shales. At 1/2 miles west of Curling Station in a cut on the railway the sandstones are nearly horizontal, but by green left green in color. All along here the strata are interbedded sandstone and shales. The shales make a laminar or hard (with slate) and the sandstone with quartzites. Along the railway at the base of RNT. On which our attention is attracted to fallen blocks of limestone and carbonate. Looking to the very tip of the mountain we see a nearly horizontally lying member of the Limestone, appearing to be 50 feet thick. The joints are flattened 1/2 to 1 inch. In other places they are as a rule much smaller, thirds and up to 6 or 8 inches long, all subhorizontal. It reminds limestone of the member seen at Bear Creek seen on July 18 (see page 66). The rest of the cut is made up of thick shales with interbedded earthy lime in beds from 3 to 12 inches thick. This thin bedded lime green may be 30 to 40 feet thick. Going on southward and for another mile we come upon another lime crust, that maybe the one seen before, but it seems to be a very fine crust (on the topography). Maybe the one seen before, but it seems to be a very fine crust. Between the two places there is lime shale, much prettier or hard into completely slate.

The thickness must be very great. The granite is mil in eight mn even as folding in the stream. It may be ten miles further along the railway to the granite. Duncan visited the schist in Stady for 3 miles The "Limestone Quarry" begins at about 397 1/2 miles and continues For further descript see page 67. along the humber (along the strike) for about one mile. I learn the strike Duncan estimates the thickness at 1500 feet but it may be twice as thick as only to the crest of the mountain. He measured these magnesian limestone practically stand on end and have a strike 1 They in more than one mile there is schist These schists are not so much metamorphosed further east and are different in character, crit with an estimated thickness 1 mi far from me miles. At the main station on the schist series there is a thin-edged blue chalk limestone that in many ways reminds of Ordovician (Redmanation) in its surface weathering effects. (See the sample). Further down streams this is another thick mass of the same kind of delomite and offrite on another side of the humber the contact between the delomites and schist is once shown on the face of the mountain. From here with me estimated the thickness up to the center of the syncline as about 3700 feet thick. From due north to the nine north all in the same and in the air very normal delomites of the western limb of the syncline. These strata end with their north. edges sharply along the strike and make a precipitous mountain face trending and about 1/2 mile across the strike from the lark granite extreme. At mile post 401 along the railway but far better along the slope may be seen several hundred feet of a pinkish and grey thin and thick bedded delomite in magnesian limestone. The dip of these strata is from first decline's shown along the rim, 58 N. 750 W. The exposed stratigraph for 150 yards = 378 feet of thickness. along the rim the dip is 65 N. 85 W.

July 22 Monday. Marble Head. (8 miles thia) (Cruss myplan pic) [illegible] In these strata we saw one grey of interfoliated conglomerate, and another one(s") of very laminated heddry that reminded much of Cryptogramma formation. Here then are drawn in beds, with the slighty marvy layers. As the dip of these old units is the reverse of those of the first seen, and as they are less crushed and metamorphosed I am convinced that they are of the Reedman turn, and apparently of the basal Beddeman turn. [illegible] The great Post-Ordovician section, The Beddeman turn is somewhat obscured beyond mile post 401, and the ground is covered up to about 75-foot above water level by sand and huddle bits of a former delta of this Hudson when the oceanic level stood more than 100 feet higher than now. It is about ½ mile westward before one sees slaty dark blue shale.

From about mile post 40½ to Curling (406 miles [illegible]) we see some grey of quartzite and a particular thick grey joint underrun with the red slate quarries. In this grey I very clearly huddled orange dark green and also with red for many white field bands. sometimes I saw much of the quartz conglomerate (about half the way) as seen or covered on July 10 and 11 in the upper part of the marigold series, then The thick red shale grey is divided by green shales and gives 9 the next deep slant and I made a more detailed section these strata: quartzite and they extend for about 1½ miles up to Curling village.

July 22. Marble Head. I am now convinced that we have found the base of the Ordovician at mile post 401. If we could see the actual contact between the Beidmantown, and the Portoroe marbles they would more certainly be an angular unconformity has. In any event Marble Head and all the beds of the Humbler from mile post 401 are of Portogric age. Dunton for a time thought that the Portorgie marbles folded over again (and united with the Beidmantown making the two a continuous series, to me is an impossibility for these reasons. The Portorgic marbles are of two series and the first one is altogether too thick for the Beidmantown. Then there is nothing that I know of in the Ord. To fill up the place of the schist series a mile thick unless we say that the variegated series is the equivalent, or that over the second marble must be the equivalent of the first one and the structure quite different from what it appears. Dunton takes the view that all of the drifts are of Portorgic age, and that the variegated series rests on them. East of the red slate quarries there is a zone of them hidden in, and blue shales with zones of li., enyl. It appears to be the same li., enyl. seen yesterday to the east of Gurling. What the relations are to the red shales was not determined, the next day it was clear that they were headed and is therefore myself born in the north (Hoot and my sketch tunnel of this evening. They are looking up all animals for the Reid Railway Co. They report 13 feet of clean coal in the Ordov again (? South Branch). The total thickness of the bed is nearer 30 feet.

July 23 - 1918. Tuesday. Curling. Raining again today but not so hard as last Friday. Re-examined the western part of Curling to the third quartzite felsur, the red and grey slate quarries. This section is described in more detail by me. See page 81. In the afternoon paid Mr. Thorne for sampling $20, Mr. Lilly $110 for oil, Mrs. Lemming for service $90, and Mr. O'Rourke $75, for service. The strata of Hunter Arm are all, seemingly, of the navigated series and the section rises from east to west. The metamorphism and crushing is most marked in the east and is not decided in the first two 1/2 miles where some of the shale, tate on schist and talcose character (a yellow-white smooth clay). In the afternoon Dunbar made an attempt to get to the mountains to the north of Hunter river and to the north of the abandoned Hunter rally a more antique rally than the present one. Here are exposed unmistakable Upper Beekmantown strata with Ceratites, and below these he saw an abundance of lower spires fossils. For them proves the presence of the Beekmantown. Above the Beck- mantown are thin and much darker irregular a thinly like li. that are cer- tains of the Chazy. What the relations of these beds are to the great marble axis could not, however, be determined. Dunbar is still inclined to think that the marble series is Beekmantown - Upper Cambrian but cannot account for the greater thickness of the marbles than anything we know (2000 feet). Accordingly he would explain the relation of the Beekmantown - Marble series as one due to faulting, and that the marble is Post-cambrian. (In the geology map this page 52-)

July 24th 1918 Wednesday Middle Arm Bay of Hinds Left Curling at 8:30 in a dark stormy morning. It rained hard during the night. At 11:45 we are inside of Middle Arm and in the fishing camp house of James O'Roake on Croft. It is here that he comes to the face to catch kenny until late January. His name is Ben Brads Croft. Before lunch we looked at the rocks but so far have failed to determine the age of the strata. It maybe that we are in the Lower Cambrian. They are dark blue-black shale with thin beds of limy sandstone and partly there may also be many thin beds of laminated sandstones. Crinite spores are present considerably parting limestone there are also occasional thin gyres of intraformational conglomerate and at least one gyre of conglomerate in which the fossils are up to 3 inches thick as the specimens of Lower Cambrian age, but many horizons in the laminated sandstone are many fragments of their shell lingulids. It is this evidence that leads me to believe that there was due a joint thickness of L.C. To the north from camp there are parallel beds and thin conglomerate. We tried by aim at this area in the evening but found no fossil evidence very little. There are many thin gyres of intraformational conglomerates and at least two thin ones, one about 4 feet thick the other 6 foot thick. In those two conglomerates the pebbles are all of thin flat pieces face size up to 12 and from 18 inches across. They are usually of two thirds and both look to me like the strata in which the crinoids creeps. The small pebbles are all well rounded but the large pieces may be quite angular. To me it seemed that the pebbles came out yet hard when they were incorporated in the conglomerate for many are bent to fit into other pieces and one sometimes crooked. The dip of this series is very hard to make from 30 to 45, more usually which I cannot remember. I do not think this formation can be the Tally Head series for we then should have found some of its fossils. Furthermore there are not enough of limestones to agree with the T.H. formation. On the other hand the
Page 95
July 24. Middle Arm. 77 form of thick lelled liguila in Ordic is a decided character for Cambrian age. If it is not Loro Camh, it may be that it is Upper Cambrian. Certainly it does not agree with any formation seen before. The thickness is considerable and may be several thousands of feet (1020 fathms) In the afternoon out boat troll up to the head of Middle Arm To the northward in Penguin Arm and to the southward in South Arm at Penquin Head + to the high head known as Penguin Head. We went ashore and found it a thengon from me truth. Take the lorn dolomite seen at "Limestone Quarry" in the stream. The thickness appears and True what we had in the streamer, about 1500 This lend seems to be of quiet face, rights raised, To 2000 feet. Then followed the equivalent of the schist series, here far [around the word] less metamorphosed and lying in undulating and locally marked folds. The same is at the pretty Ragland Head. It's an immense magnesian series and shows creathery phenomena like that seen at the outer station along the Drembar River. In the Towards the south-east across the big Ragnachris distance we saw the several or higher and thicker dolomite series all [orth-] dipping Towards the east and striking about N. 30° E. See page 83. There is no doubt that one estimate of the thickness of the Portugese seen in the streamer is correct. Now we see that there is a succession towards the east and that the two marble series are distinct, separated by the middle schist, and followed to the east by another and distinct schists. The two marbles are not duplicates of one another. Accordingly the great Portuguese series is a continuous sequence and the two marbles are of different ages separated by the third schist, here in Middle Arm - a long-shaly series also of great thickness. To the east of the supposed Cambrian series there is another formation before after D. had seen it; I.C. of Ormy Bay leaves certain that the style belong one side of I.C. age. (See page) The Portuguese marbles come in. This he did not discerning. The two have normal dips. A3

July 25-1918 Thursday. Day to Bonne Bay. We leave Middle Arm at 9 A.M. in a fair day. Go near to the south of Eagle Island we see that the sea has cut its top floor about 70 feet above present sea-level. On the top is a thin mantle of gravel. A good deal of the strata of Eagle Island are of a Hood and shale, with plenty sandstone. We are camped at 4:30 P.M. in the middle of East Arm on the Lower Cambrian strata, a short distance southeast of the main town saw mill. This mill is located on Deer Brook. The flies are terrible. On rock. Prediction for rain tomorrow. We walked about a half mile along the shore southeast of the arm and saw the Lower Cambrian. No particular results but two cysts and a wheel of Cleavelandus. July 26-1918 Friday. East Arm of Bonne Bay. This, midges and mosquitoes terrible. It is misting and raining. After a miserable breakfast we along the shore towards the mouth of the arm, and past the main town saw mill. The strata of the Lower Cambrian keep of the south-easterly dip to the saw mill and for a ½ mile further they then reverse their dip and dip southerly. The material are shales, and sandy shales with considerable light pink and marlstone quartzites. Near one Cleavelandus (John Strait). Also considerable siltstones are present. Fossils should be common if there out for this. The dip from the Deer Creek below camp to Robinsons station is in the average 3:15° E. Just past the saw mill they are picked up a number of granite specimens in masses that come down the brook. If they do then the Lower Cambrian beds in these granites. It is very possible that the L.C. does not lie on the granite but has overlain them before erosion of the Palagonite. So was at this work that we began our section of 1910 and continued up the north shore towards the head of the

As one looks at the head land that has the East arm tides in with side of it, has the strata dipping also to the southeast just as I drew it in my note book of 1900. The north shore of East arm is therefore made of [?] Diffen Cambrian and Beedmantown strata. These strata come in again along the north of East Arm near Reedys farm. Dunton and Californias came up Deer Brook and finally up to 1600 but above the sea and saw no other rocks than the L.C. Our granite is visible from at the top of the hill up to 2000 feet and the topography is not one of granite, Dunton says it is all L.C. As the slope of the mountain is about that of the L.C., there may be no great thickness of L.C. to be added to the section. Yet there may be several hundred feet of strata here. Dunton says that only of the strata seen are quartzite with some sandy shales. It seems best that one should say that at least 500 feet L.C. may come in between the seam base and the granite, and it may be that the thickness is even a good deal thicker. In the afternoon launched up East Arm but the tide was at its height and could not get out any where to see the L.C. as the rocks in most places make no tender showing the dips into the water. On the north shore of Brett Bay near the point into this bay there is a thick light colored quartzite that I take to be the base of the Diffen Cambrian = Beedmantown. These rocks strike across the bay into the headland that makes the land between East and Brett Bays. In this peninsula there is away 1900 feet of old miles including the above mentioned quartzite below, are probably Beedmantown. If any in Diffen Cambrian it is got to be proven. Later Dunton will visit the place again when the tide is low to see the contact between the L. Cambria and Beedmantown.

July 27. Bonne Bay. Dembars mts Dembar's mts are as follows: He cruised along the northeast side of the East Arm into Deer Brook Bay. At about the saw mill on Charles Creek Brook, the strike of the L.C. trends around so that in general the beds dip off to the southwest and finally south, and in Deer Brook Bay a little north of west. As a result we rise in the section going toward Deer Brook. In detail the the dip varies frequently as much as 30 or 40 degrees but in general it is as stated. There seems to be a broad and steeply plunging anticlinal structure at about the saw mill where we find the coarse exposed layers of the L.C. farther over rise through the L.C. in going along shore either way. It can't seem that the opposite shore of the Arm is formed of Bredmant and dolomite, the strike of these beds also tending in general conformity with both of the Cambrian and with the other line. On Deer Brook Arm we begin in the lower part of the Bredmantion. Buff to light gray dolomitic li. like those seen near the "Scarels" at Polson Pits. Here the dip is 35° S. 65° W.

July 28. Bonne Bay Sunday. It rained off and on during the night and this morning there is fog. Mr G.W. Denton and Edwards start off for the day to climb the divide mountain faced from camp. There is still fog at 1 P.M. At 3 P.M. it is clear and they can see a long distance. They returned to camp at 6 P.M. In the afternoon I traveled along the "Government Road" along shore about 2 miles to where I could see the head of Smith farm. Red and green shales (with 5 to 25 feet) with thin gray of coarse sandstone occur in the first mile and than it is sandy shales with thicker gray of sandstone. A little on 2 miles from the head of the farm there is a thick gray clay added coarse sandstone and here it steeply (with about 100 feet) (rises into a cliff with the cliffs for the most part. From this one sees that the Bonne Bay sometime is at the base of the granulated series. The thickness of the series in therefore very great, for about 5000 feet of granulated in turn added to the (footprint) (with about 200 foot thick) (extinct) outcrops to the head of the farm. One mile south of our camp is Hell Cove. There is a large broken escarpment down the mountain side, where the Government Road crosses, the horn may be seen mass of serpentine more or less crushed and brecciated. Of it there two samples. It is this rock that make the rugged and corroded hills between the Polygno and the Table Land to the west. These hills are known as Over Tops.

In the flood shale one gets one clear scale of an Articuloiden. Almost from Leister Cre northward to Cns Head the freeland to the west of the Long Range is very low and flat.

On page 89 it was stated that the Bonne Bay section in two miles of fairly constant dips gave a thickness of 4500 feet. To this it would seem should be added once faced crossed to Cross Point Light. In addition to the strata from Hell Cove crossed Cross Point, North Arm are three added. This is a distance of 21/2 miles and at 35 degrees around gives an additional 7000 feet. As at Final Point the strata receive this dip this would reduce the distance to about 11/2 miles and a thickness of about 4500 feet. Whichever way one turns this is a thickness of the Bonne Bay series - Paraglated series if at least 9000 feet and then maybe even more than 10,000 feet. It seems none of these statements can be relied upon as they are all based on general Narrations. As we get opposite Bony Head on the Cross Mountain calls me to deal to see and p.119 that Sirs Monroe is made of a stratified sand (Day 82). This is certainly true. The question now arises what is the age of these strata. If they are Parageneic they are faulted off in relation to the granite of the Bay Bays, farther north. The distance from the Cambrian out of East Arm to the northern side of Sirs Monroe (2600 feet high) is 4 miles. At 25 degrees dip this would give a thickness of over 8500 feet of Parageneic. This would account for the upper marbles (3700 feet) and the middle schist (5200 feet). On the other hand Dunton calls my attention to the swinging around of the Cambrian strata of East Arm into Deer Bone Bay. If this turning is continued to take in Sir's Monroe then what we saw in the Cambrian on the upper part of the Mt. Dunton rather think the rocks are of Parageneic age. Or any, you think it - are Parageneic, in any event one have cut off get from the presence a chance of Parageneic in Bonne Bay.

The Long Range mountains here in the north are more dissected, have large rolling country from the interior, and their western front approaches usually gradually to those of the low foreland. One sees one fault scar face as in the south at Little River. The tops of the mountains are also somewhat more irregular than the foreplain is clearly formed. The range is badly faulted but in early time came up 7 to 20 miles. The foreland in turn approaches within them 75 feet = a sea terrace. From Deiters notes: - "The thickness of the Bonne Bay series over the goal from the north edge of Bird Cove to a mile beyond Higgan Point are once carrying the strata at about an angle of 450 and the beds were dipping about 210° to the southeast for the whole distance of nearly 2 miles. This could indicate a thickness of over 4700 feet. The faulted and disturbed strata which continue past Roche Hachin may in fact at least duplicate those mentioned but probably would add some thickness. Around his route in this section no any sandstone or granite as that opposite the village of Bonne Bay, or that the sandstone and red shales of South Arm should apparently be added. Logan estimated this sandstone as 2000 feet and it appears that the red shales above have a thickness of over 1400 feet. If we add to the 2000 feet of granite as exposed between Baddis Haven and Entrance Point 4000 feet of red and grey shales and so, exposed between the latter point and Horal Point and another 4700 feet of shales and shale as, exposed for Bird Cove past Higgan Point the Bonne Bay series (which we have here calling the varigated series) attain a thickness of 19,500 feet. These figures are of estimates from a running foot but in any event the first series of os. and rl. must be 8700 or 10,500 feet thick."

92 July 30-1918 Tuesday, Car Head. a squall arose storm in arising, it clear a fair all day. That may throw away. In the morning studied the conglomerate of the peninsula along the northern shore side on the shores of Car Core (at Car Head Station), going from the sound spit northeast about one mile, or not quite to the outer or western point of the peninsula. in thickness, up to 20 feet long About all of the material here is of the Red man town and the strata are the higher in the circle on the peninsula. We saw one large block about 2 by 3 feet with many Ceratopia otherwise saw no fossils in the Rocks. In the bedded material between conglomerate groups the thin beds are usually of li, thick chalk bands are here and argonaceous li. These beds are usually 1 to 3 wide, thickly separated by black shale or dark shale li. There often Hole! interbedding a thickness of 20 feet. Take three different layers of these thin bedded strata and while all have traces of pteridites these are not common until one comes upon the outer outlying one, and especially in the thicker zone of argonaceous li. Here Pelycosopters and Tetrapopters and other forms are common, scattered some of the better material. There is very little along the shores of Car Core to suggest any other material than that of the Red man town, all magnesian limestone, many of the blocks daring chalk weathering out at the surface. Some of this chalk is certainly of dia genetic origin but most if it is produced by weathering. The strata near the eastern end where are are compact near the sand spit dip S 30 E, take only ones have swung around to S 45 W. In the afternoon we examined the shores of the eastern side of the peninsula where most all of the fishing houses are. Coming over the peninsula in line with Steary Island (the peninsular off a point of about 1900 foot, and as the dip is S 30 E there is about 930 feet of Car Head Conglomerate in here. Farther west on the outer shore of Car Head peninsula the strata swings around once and the dip here outside, into a dip of 30 degrees this should give a thickness of 1200 foot is about 20 degrees due south, all the inner part the peninsular is about a half-mile.

Masses of threadeds underneath the heavy zone of li. cong. that I photographed me as fast blocks of Cambria li. dropped into the Corr Head conglomerate. In the quarter mile of the outer side of the peninsula examined this afternoon there is at the tip a heavy zone of li. cong. from 15 to 20 feet thick and below are the threadeds of Cambria li. anywhere from 10 to 20 feet thick. all of the conglomerate here is made of Upper Cambrian material. See any photo of these places. For many places the Cambrian in small cones is included in a bent and even crumpled condition. This deformation must have taken place before the pieces were included in the conglomerate and after Cam- of these bent strata brian time. The date of deformation was probably post Tattle Head.

They must be of intraformational character. The whole of the strata of the peninsula are distinctly bedded and we can't fail to note the dips. When we comes upon the threadeds zones of either the Phyllographus or Cambrian, the impression left is that they must be regular de- deposited posits between the conglomerate zones. Yet the fossils secured are entirely not of keeping with the design in which they seem for Reedmanutons and Upper cambrian fossils cannot be living in post Tattle Head time. See elsewhere noted. Several times there many large holes of intraformational conglomerate included in the Corr Head conglomerate. These are not of the first little type.

July 31—1919, Wednesday. Cor Head. The wind howled all night but we are secure behind our wind break built of logs. Every now and then it rained. This morning there is no sign that the wind is to let down soon. We reexamined the Corl Core side and the Phyllographer zone. Clent found at least two places here with Reed mountain prints. An orthid, two called cephalopods and a tail of a trilobite. The first thin redded mass, going into contact in a distant core gives an idea of a thick 500 foot log and about 20 foot thick. On closer view one sees that after deposition it has been broken up by faults into three or four and slightly offset independent masses. The curious feature of these once called thin red beds—eye lets lie, separated by dark green shales in that they have lenses of intraformational coal over at for 2 to 50 foot long and for an inch thick to 30 inches thick. Further once the thin redded lies give evidence of churning up in the sea, the intraformational coal ones not made by washing of semi-exposed samples but by storm waves turning up the bottom and redepositing them; on this mass there are also good pieces of black chalk an inch or two thick. Pieces of this chalk are common in the intraformational coal. The fossils are as rule flat and once inches long but there are also angular bits, pieces of it are first seen, that these pieces were still unconsolidated when seen in their first nature, and when bent are often crooked to accommodate the bending. Blocks of these intraformational coals are not rare in the Corl Head coal. The next diphen mass is of a similar character about 20 feet thick and several hundred foot long. This mass is characterized by large 1 mm thin tuts vertical in the lie, with the tuts usually filled with coal minute grains, like

Farther on to the west comes in the Phylloid grits, shales and then bedded and 2 or 3 foot thick Li. grits from C Head chat. This man is about +600 feet long by 20 feet thick. Other similar masses occur farther over. These are not so regularly placed in regard to the dip as the other more eastern ones. One is impressed with the regularity of the dip usually around 30 degrees. Even the rocks when large and flat are set in the angle conforming with this dip. Or are the great blocks of these bedded li, thick not always with or keep a dip. At the western point Dunstan enters one great mass standing vertical. To have great blocks many put a length and more, hundreds of feet long all laid down in one general direction coming here, it occurred in a sort slide. Therefore the dip land must have been to the east of Carr Head from which the material slid into the sea and there once frozen. The dips are now one can actually be foresetting slopes instead of dipping slopes due to deformation, or maybe from eastwards compound or series Dunstan was agrees that Cnr Head is a conglomerate and that grit blocks at least +600 x 20 feet occur in it. He says the evidence for this is most plain among the Cambrian strata on the outer side of the peninsula. Here the blocks are less large, in dimensions see any note of 1910. In the afternoon we again collected Cambrian fossils. Dunstan got 2 sealy entire trilobites. Otherwise we got less than yesterday. The highest part of Cnr Head (206 feet) is also made up of Li. Congl. Thus for all of the peninsula may be regarded as of Li. Congl.

This morning the wind is still strong but the sea is still too rough for us to use our boat. It rained lightly during the night. At 8:30 A.M. we concluded to travel to the Hamors of Pauls inlet by way of the Government Road along the telegraph line, The distance to the Chamms along the straight line is not far from 5 1/2 miles. The walking for me- [illegible] the distance in through the pitchy-flank-arthuron swamps and the rest throug the boggy bush. I returned to camp near dead.

Beyond the Hamors on the north one can clear see in the letters account more red shales and red li. as described by Logan. Across the strike these beds are visible for about 1400 feet and with a dip of 35 degrees then gives a thickness of 750 feet. On the other hand Logan mention the li conglomerate "in a small anticlinal dillroll" which is about one mile from the Chamms.

July 30. Diemars notes, Lee pays 92-3. "The phenomena seen this morning are the most unusual and trelievable I have ever seen. Just masses of relatively soft, incompetent shely beds hundreds of feet long which are full of prints that should be of the Reelmantown, lying between conglomerates formed of heavy hard Reelmantown limestone and yet these heavy bedded li, are in masses many all under 10 feet acros. What transporting agency could carry off incompetent troubles of sand unhealed of divisions and at the same time always reduce the hard strata to far smaller masses? The situation is more confusing because lenses of li, Congl. are common within the whole mass. "In the afternoon we started around the north side of Cow Head and here we found in the li, cong., past masses of thin bedded dark slate shelly li, that are clean and unmarred off "truckles" which carry Woffa Cambrian trilobites. Many of these troubles are tens of feet long and the largest perhaps 200 feet. The evidence here is problems that one is forced to the conclusion that they are trouble ners, impossible as it seems" July 31.

Below one area of heavy li, cong., having a thickness of about 20 feet. This bed is about 1/3 composed of large troubles of light gray Reelmantown li, carrying from 1 to 4 feet a diameter. In one of these we found Christopher tota and in several others Reelmantown cephalopods. These large troubles are surrounded by an arrangement of smaller pebbles and all of which are made of darker, dark colored

99 thin bedded li., or the boulder are decidedly flattish. The layers of these measure about one acre and less than 2 miles thick. All are practically angular. Of one of the boulders about 5 feet long by 2½ acres composed itself of li., cyl. Beyond this bed of cyl. error, the first large piece of precipitate shale forming about 20 feet thick and extending for a total length of more or less; its east end goes out to sea and the west finally going into the bank above the shore. The mass is composed of bands of dense fine-grained dark gray li. 1 to 2 miles thick and alternating with equal thicknesses of almost fresh blue-green shale. There are frequent interbedded small layers of intermediate li., cyl. 1½ to 3 feet thick and a few feet long but then in one layer here a foot thick and 50 feet long tapering toward each edge. It becomes evident that we are dealing with two independent li. cyl., an older one of Bedl-erontum age recurring interbedded in the Bedl-erontum shales and the white in turn embedded as boulder in the late Ordovician Carthell conglomerate. "Of the upper 8 feet of this shale mass, their clay continues for the full length of 50 feet, being separated by 3 or 4 bands of cyl. in the western half of its length from the same family the shale mass which is so often it forms a bar stretch and is poorly exposed. (and hidden in the section.) "Following this mass of shale is another 20 feet of leary li., cyl. In this bed the boulders average much smaller than in that below but we exceptional one of left gray li. is about 2 diameters. There are 2 large boulders made of li., cyl. like that interbedded in the shales (picture exits). "Following this is another past-banded mass of thin dark li. with shale. One block is about 20 feet thick and 100 feet long to where it goes.

July 31. Dechants arts. into the sea, and almost continues on its course and in another arm of this hended sandy li, which swings around once into the land dipping S. 45- W. This bed is characterized by worm holes, which are vertical and always cut out in pairs 1/2 to 3/4 inch apart. These holes range from 1/8 to 3/8 inch in diameter and often have a filling of tiny limestone grains. Proceeding onward one can diagonally over a thickness of li. clay and then strike another long bed a "piddle" of purrish-Haell shale and sandy li, with layers of Haec chalk. The li. banks are more or less irregular, ranging from 1 to 6 inches thick and are thinny. In this shale bed are 3 banks of intrastratified clay, one above another, ranging from 8 to 20 inches thick and separated by from 4 to 20 inches of the hended shale and li. In this infraclay there are some piddles of Haec chalk and others up to 8 inches across are made up of Dechmontown li. Many of the piddles show crushing to fit the other after deposition. Beyond this gone comes very heavy li. clay, with many bands of li. 6 feet across (and one 12 feet across was seen), between which are many masses of this heddled shaly material all marked and smaled of many the bears boulders. This interjops along shore for a distance of about 100 yards and then comes the great "Phyllagrophytus piddle" which is about 450 feet long by 20 feet thick, and clips at S. 30 E., its east end lost in the sea and its west end striking into the land. It is composed of interbedded layers of black chalk, dark gray li. and shale. Phyllagrophytus are very abundant. After crossing another arm of li. clay, one comes to another great mass of beds about like the Phyllagrophytus bed but this mass is about 100 feet

thick and dips 20 S. 50 W. From here on there is an alternation of heavy coyl. and large masses of shale beds, more or less bent and crumbled up until we reach the lighthouse factory in the dark fog cave on the south side of the head. Here we find a man of shale 100 feet long by 20 feet thick dipping 75 S. 40 E. Each of the three frigus at the end of the head are formed of heavy coyl concretos. Between the first two is the largest single "bottle" of Hale seen. It stands on edge dipping 70 S. 35 E. and is clearly exposed for 500 feet. On the west end of the head above the last frigus the Cow Head series becomes sandy and then banded but below these layers are others of heavy coyl. forming the reef along the head below the lighthouse. The dip here is 40 S. 40 E. "To sum up: 1. Along the south side of the head there are several great masses of thin-bedded shale strata yielding large Beidmantum fossils, embedded in a very coarse li. coyl., derived from higher layers of the Beidmantum. 2. These hale masses are of relatively soft and incompetent strata, are weathered into caves or low strips between layers of li. coyl., whereas the li. layers of the Redmantrum are heavy and resistant so that we have usually seen them forming hills or cliffs. 3 The great masses of geoplolithium shale are from 100 to 500 long and from 20 to 100 feet thick whereas the largest piece of the associated li. seen was about 12 feet in largest diameter [I saw one there 20 foot long], and nearly all are less than half as much.

August 2, 1908 Friday. Our Head - St Pauls Inlet. A fine sunny day but I am too tired and rheumatic to make use of it. Stay in camp and write notes. Duncan took the boat and at 8:30 started again for St Pauls Inlet. He returned at 2:30 P.M. with good results. In the afternoon he visited Stearny Island one mile northwest of Our Head and then the reefs to the northeast of Our Head known as White Rock Islets. His notes are as follows: "With the boat returned to St Pauls Inlet. At a point on the south side about 1/2 miles from the head of the bay, where a horn descends from a cirque in the North shore and forms a catarfact near where the Laurentian red-granite-gneiss is exposed. The plane of schistosity seem to dip steeply almost due south. Pro- ceding northeast along the south shore we find no exposure for a distance of about 200 yards. Then a small exposure of dark-gray li, weathering buff colored which is extremely crushed and is interbedded with some muddy layers which have been altered to schist. There is then another short unexposed interval when the li. is exposed again and continues to the prominent point where it forms a high naked bluff. The eastern part of the li, weathering buff colored on the surface but in dark-gray or fracture, fine grained and dense. The western part of the section weather darker dark-gray. The whole thickness of the li. has been so thoroughly crushed that it appears all loose and shows no bedding planes except near the eastern margin. Here they appear to dip 70° N. 46° E. The strike makes an angle of about 35° with the shore where the beds are exposed, for a distance of about 1/3 mile. This would indicate a thickness of 730 feet of the li. This abnormal dip to the northeast another local feature.

"104 August 2-1918. Dentais notes. St Pauls Inlet" connected with the extensive faulting along the contact with the gneiss. "Proceeding northward the shore is low and entered with floccial and lead tondus for a distance of 2 miles to a prominent point about 1 mile east of the southwest corner of the inner bay. At this point the Carr Head li ceyl. is well exposed for a distance of 100 yards along the strike. About 6o feet of li. ceyl. beds are here exposed standing vertically on edge and striking S. 60 W. The conglomerate is coarse, with many tondus of light gray li., from 2 to 5 feet across. "The next exposure is a small island a little over a mile northwest of the last point and about 1/4 mile from the west shore of the bay. Here exposed shale strata consisting of greenish-black shales and clays, interbedded with thin bands of compact dark-gray li. and tondus of that. These beds are somewhat crinkled, the dip varying from 60 to 75 deg S. 50 E. They have a thickness of 310 feet, occupying a width of 120 yards. "About 1/4 mile northwest of this island is another rocky point in the shore composed of about 200 feet of li. ceyl. beds, dipping 42 deg S. 40 deg E. Further north the shore is low till near the Darrars. A low rocky ledge about 1/2 mile off the end of the inner of the long peninsulas from the north shore is made up of heavy layers of li. ceyl. dipping about 35 deg S. 45 deg E. "Outside the darrars the shores are very low with no other de- promances except a low hill near the north shore of the middle of the inner bay. Because of the very shallow water I did not get to this level bed with the planes, should plainly see the strata of ceyl.

106 August 2-1918. Dentars notes. Stearing Island. "In the afternoon with the launch went across from Cow Head to Stearing Island. The dip here is the same as that at Cow Head, about 20 S.30 E. There is positive or anticlinal structure here. At the southwest end of the island we came upon a "bottle" of shaly strata 50 foot thick and 500 foot long to where it goes into the water. It consists mostly of black carbonaceous and limy shales with greenish interstraded thin layers of dense dark-gray li. The dip of the bedding in this mass of shaly material is 20 S.30 E. "Other large masses of black shale occur on this end of the island but none were seen on the northeast end though this is directly in the strike of the shale masses. The whole island is composed of the heaviest sort of conglomerate. Bottles of li. 8 to 15 foot across are very abundant and from these they range up to 135 x 50 feet. Many are from 20 to 30 feet across. These layer bottles are of light gray color and fine gained texture and are much degraded by by fire jointing. "These large blocks appear to be of Chazy li. The fundamental block is 4 x 6 foot which is crowded with coiled cephalopods of C. characten, and with them are associated a remarkable layer tilitite. On other blocks of 18 feet across we saw Chazy forams, trilobites, brachiopods and part. Identified M. acuminata and Rafin. aurora. "The extreme coarseness of the limestone conglomerate seems to indicate that we are near the base of the Cow Head conglo. Once one finds the li. also in such large "bottles" it does not seem quite so unreason- able to find large masses of shale.

Aug. 2 - 1918. Luntai's notes, Stearing Island. "The width of the island across the strike is 100 yards which at a dip of 20 degrees gives 100 feet of beds clearly exposed. In addition there is a lower rock reef formed by coral. 200 yards further north-west, parallel to the island, it can be seen to dip in the same direction, and this would indicate an additional 200 feet of strata. The width of the straight between Stearing Island and Cow Head measured across the strike is 1600 feet which at 20° dip would include 1600 ft of strata. The greater width across the head at right angles to the strike is 3000 feet and here the dip is about 30° making the thickness around 1500 feet. This makes a total thickness of 3300 feet of heavy coral limestone between the outer reef of Stearing Island and the inner side of Cow Head." [This is by no means all of the Cow Head conglomerate for all of the strata seen at the Harrows on August 1 - page 97 and at least 1500 feet thick are to be added. Further off the inner bay there is once Cow Head formation found at distance or that even more is like added. As the core now stands we see that the Cow Head formation has a maximum thickness of at least 5000 feet and in probably some places. When the basal angle, which are all present the Cow Head once if course be further thick and may not exceed 2000 feet.] "At 6 P.M. we rounded the corner and went to the White Rock Isles for a little while. The reef is formed in narrow stringy islands running north-westward from Cow Head to the point north of Hallow Bay (Cow Horn). The reef has a length of one mile. This comprised
