August 18-1918. Sunday. Hawkes Bay. A cold mist, partly the colder of far mountain. Shown are all slight fairy orange. Had rock-hunt for shell-fish. Dunbar Smith Edwards and Lemire intend to go up Torrent. Rain other I will go along the south shore. The clouding up and once again before the days run. It did not rain. Are of the following shots are of Tawau Gaminage. At Camp or are pitched on the "Buttom" Heavy bedded Dolomite (see specimen). Another bed of the same kind is seen again about 1/2 mile from camp towards the south shore. At the next point a few hundred yards distance our rocks are seen.

These dol. are glaciated and the others now turning the mouth of the bay. One continues in practically the same hit to the next point, a prominent one, and all are "the bottom" dol. Have some form a limestone about 2 foot thick in which the bottoms we see To be organic fruiting algae. See the specimen. As I proceed to the southerly end of this cave, which it projects deeper into the land, the above algae bottom dolomits are contain heavy bedded grit like pains saltine marbled by some prominent gravel. I could make out a thickness of about 30 foot but as once sometimes of the same nature is in the country print then may be as much as 50 foot.

As I proceed easterly and crossing in the section through
