Saturday August 13-1910 Bonne Bay.
Crossed over from Morris' Point to Bonne Bay and as, it
rained once a less stayed at the home of Ambrose Donnette where
we are boarding until the boat comes.
In the afternoon walked to the head of South Arm
about 4 miles inland and south. About 1/2 of a mile south of
Bonne Bay one sees the first of the sedimentary strata here very
deary reddish fine grained conglomerate in which the pebbles
[illegible]
roughly exceed 1/8 inch. It has a greenish color and it looks as if to
be in (?) horn fawn (?) Dirim 16. A little farther inland
one sees the greenish fine grained micaceous sandstone just
like those we saw yesterday near the Light House in Dir. 16.
The dip here is S at an angle of about 65 degrees or more.
Farther south appear the greenish sandstones interbedded
with shale. At the first large brook (1 1/2 miles south)
as far out as the shore
and therefor cutting the sedimentaries appears a very greenish
weathering intrusive rock (?) of which I have a sample.
On the other side of the brook one sees more of the sand-
stones and gradually these give over to sandy shales and finally
to much crumpled and somewhat altered greenish shales. If
the southward dip were maintained these shales should be on
off of Dir. 16 and they may be. No fossils are seen. At the
head of South Arm the shales seem to dip to the SE.
Standing nearly vertical but this dip maybe only local or even
deceptive.
On the opposite side of the Arm just south of the prominent
headland one notes the strata dipping S at an angle 65°
