August 18-19, 18. Hanks Bay. Earth Camp. Just above the falls the dip is about 6 or 8 nearly due E. but it tends on to 5 or 6 nearly W at the falls, and swings to 30 N. 20 W., within 20 seconds below. Cross bedded ss. continues to form the north bank, and smooth creathing over the south for a distance of about 1/2 mile above the falls where we strike another later. Here the dip of the ss. is 26 N. 20 W., and is succeeded by dense fine grained light blue dol. li. Just above the mouth of the lake is exposed a low anticline with its axis S. 20 W. At the upper end of the lake about 1/4 mile above where we ate dinner, there is a low mesosome of clare or cloud dense fine grained dolomite dipping 36 N. 46 W. This lake opens into the big one that continues to the foot hills. Here have been seeing an occasional tumbled of the LC. edge wise engl. all the way up. They are more common along the north side of the big lake. Here also occur tumblers of the "fultni" layers like those at the camp. The cross bedded ss. of the falls is also exposed at various places along the north side of the lake and forms at least the lower part of the hill theorison to the north of it. Climbing up the steep timbered slope about 50 feet we come to a vertical cliff 20 feet higher. The lower 10 feet is coarsely crystalline and granular marble like li. Above it is dense dark sandy li. in lods from 1 to 1/2 inches somewhat unevenly bedded. The marble has many fragments of trilobites, and just above it occur Archaeopyga thinate?
