177 August 20. Harkers Bay. On the shore. In general the lithology is that of the earlier Bedlamerton. There is nothing like it in the Cambria of Harkers Bay. The 290 foot next north of the main fault is lithologically linked with the Bedlamerton. It is a series of dark bedded slates mottled (like Bedlamerton) dark There are also SS. beds. and light blue-grey dolomites very fine grained. Some gives those diagnostic changes, like the northern Bedlamerton. In places there are small beds of Arl. The striking feature is however the abundance of black clays sometimes in thickest near the shale gns, 1 1/2 foot thick, in regular beds and in elongated lenses. Other gns are laminate. Dr at least one bed there are Crytofron rather in the way- bedded manner than in distinct beds. Finally however a few thin thurst scale parting from 4 to 72 inches thick, I would place these beds in the latter. To the east of this drun is then the main fault. East of it all is Leron Cambrian. See map appended to pages 171-175. Duntan saw in the "hutton" li. today a part of much of the thorax of an Olenellus. This was on the east shore of Harkers Bay near East Pier. Duntan and Edwards spent the afternoon exploring for 5 miles on the Admirelsy map it is 3 1/2 miles as the crow flies. of East Pier. They saw the Li C. ards mainly of the type shown in the south line of Harkers Bay. They noted pavments of Olenellus in the sandstone and several large loose blocks of Daltorville. Eri- dwell the latter are exceedingly common to the east of Harkers Bay,
