Tuesday August 16 - 1940. Bonne Bay.

For at least one mile the dip of the strata is undulatory and mainly along the strike so that we remains in zones C-8 and C-9. In C-9 we found today a few heads of Olenellus, considerable of thorax and tail of a large Orsinacis, several specimens of a small Asclacrimus and a piece of a small cystid in which the plates are small and irregularly arranged. Saltarella like those of yesterday were found in the condition of iron pyrite.
