185 August 26. Bonnie Bay, Between the two ridges of East Arm, a fact supporting this view is the high tilted nature of the Breadman town of the Shirey East Arm. On the other hand this disturbance may be due to the cause--the injection of the past faultlets of divide and other if- near well. I am inclined to believe that the Breadmantown delimits not directly on the L.C. contains any sandstone base. In the afternoon Dentan and Edwards climbed of the high Cambrian mountain to the northwest of "Conspicuous Peak" having a height of 2050 feet, this just to the south of the north- from canonville in Mill Brook. Here the Cambrian is under- lain by the Portugue series, like a shale series of great thickness that bears Salterella like forms but with a greater apical angle, of marine fossils and therefore of considerable significance. This is a surprising discovery, and the thing should be described as Duntarilla. This note of the afternoon are as follows: "The south side of East Arm of Bonne Bay is formed of Cambrian shales which rise at a steep angle into a mountain ridge reaching a height of 2050 to 2100 feet and paralleling the shore of the bay. The ridge is divided into 2 mountains by Mill Brook which cuts across it in a deep canyon rapidly flowing southward as it emerges down from the hilllands, entering across the middle part of the Arm." Dentan then describes the Hygrograph. "Back of the Cambrian is a feet thickness of Portugue sandy shale, which are well exposed in a main stream divides that rises
