169 August 19, 1918. Monday. Hank's Bay. South line continued. We start out at 8:10 for the south shore of Hank's Bay to where I left off. Just beyond (only) the print left off there are thin reddish gneiss sandstone with fucoids. A few hundred yards over we are again in heavy and cross- crossed pink sandstone. The same sandstone make the next stratum print. continuing to be For a mile back east the strata ^ almost horizontal, print dipping south of the north shore towards the ff [illegible] shore and now almost back towards the camp. Therefore the strata undulates in this mile and as we are facing more and more on the crossed sandstone strike mid much ^ thickness is revealed. In general the dips is from 2 to 3 degrees. In the next 1/3 mile, as the camp flies, all the ready prints are made up of very light pinkish and white, heavy folded, cross-folded and rippled quartz- its. They undulate lower and strike slightly and may be ^ not more than 20 feet of strata are seen. Then we come to a very large striking out at right angle from the land and dipping 5N to 7SW. It's a fluted somewhat liny sandstone with fucoids may this gained and flots pebble intrus, engl, some of which perforate an edge joint. These beds strike carried across the bay to the whole footery at N^ 20E. A little farther over lying and hidden in the sections there are thin folded and laminated fluted layers at least one of which has Arlides (see specimen). These layers are also cross-cracked explaining why there are intrusingle, jointedling and here. In all this grave is about 5 feet thick, and lies chiefly over the sandstone. At this place was found done a piece of li. full of Archaeocera thinae. Then 2 feet of thin folded liny sandstone with intrus, engl and then 3 feet of dense red mud clay. li, also quite intrus, the cngl. The latter look like Archaeospermum strata but saw none in flower. Then
