189a August 28-1918. Middle Arm. fully shale, premit and Hoale. The engl. maybe continues for some distance and in thickness up to 24 feet, all of Horperts. Even the shales have clermintuous gone, if these impure li. better. The shellman of the sea afforded by engl. smelling about the ones other lay. Identified all morning faithfully and all I found was in the same (same limestone classus. They often tiny lingulids are greatly in going stages and not crustacean shells. A single Haussgrafius was found. Otherwise one sees not even facing no trading. It was almost a lifeless shells sea bottom that I'm now exposed to the atmosphere. I am now satisfied that this series of thimbedded strata delays in the Parieputal series and is another local phase of this very variable formation. Eagle Dolamel further over and in part 1 Middle Arm has deep red strata and there are also evidence of the presence here of the Parieputal series. I now see no evidence that these strata are of Upper Cambrian age as I supposed might be the case when I first saw them a small age. The thimbedded series appears not to be thicker than four hundred feet. Including the shale goes probably 200 out one can them 200 foot of strata. It's an often folded and unmarked series. Duncan found that the strata in the upper part of Grivale Arm are also of the Parieputal series. Therefore the surface rocks here are almost they are in the Humber Arm. To more on must hope.
