12/1 August 8. Parsons Pond. [illegible] I saw rare me sees a thin zone in the sandy li., and more at a few points. They are also rare present in the shales, but then there is some thinly bedded li. associated. While I saw no sun-creed anywhere today yet it occurs that all of the cryl. were sun-cracked by the storms tore them in the deep places and or accumulatory it seems less probable that they are storm-washed from the thick and thinning zones of cryl. They are therefore to be regarded as intraformational conglomerates. In the future it will be best to delimitate the Crow Head li. cryl. to thoroughly man, or more developed about Crow Head. All the strata above the Crow Head cryl. and beneath the Bonne Bay series should be called the Parsons series because it is in this pond that one gets the best sequence of this series of rocks. The oil field of Parsons Pond is controlled by the General Oil Fields Limited. Mr. Henry an Englishman is in charge of it. At the station where he lives there are about a dozen houses much better than one sees anywhere in Newfound land. Here on the shore the in devices standing in the thin bedded li., that almost stand ver- tical. Why in the world anyone would attempt to get rid in a place like this is beyond my comprehension. Three other derricks are about 1 1/2 miles to the east. There are other derricks on the south shore.
