19 Aug. 7. Parson's Pond. with glacial bowlders. It is a special clay; it is red like with Kivalon and seemingly all of Loring basin, so far as I can recall, and concluded that the Portland Chamberlain said he saw two glacial bowlders in an old quarry to Pleistocene age. Marine clay must be post Pleistocene. The object of this young tourist was if we could find any coal in place. There is none along shore nearer than on the deep seen on Sunday. However along shore among the dominant granite bowlders we see so much of Parson's pond and me bowlders that it is a fair inference that these strata are not in the water here as near Lone Island. The line here and north to Portland Creek and all comes, showing it in the line of strike. Why any one should drill here for oil is beyond my comprehension. Then too most of the wells are in the eastern half of the Pond nearer the great fault where there must be a drop of some 500 feet. Further the strata stand at a high angle, at 45° and they are somewhat smashed. Small probability then are any other faults, much smaller ones, in the central and western part of the Pond. We are now all the more certain that the strata of New Brunswick are also Portugeuse. This must mean that Portuguese is also present back of East Arm of Bonne Bay. 2u. f. 157 fn Parson's Pond Hill.
