"Limestones have less fossils than gme C8. These limestones and shales are just like those of gmes C8 and C9. "Gme C3 is markedly different from the liple beds being a white to pindle (this mainly due to weathering) fine grained quartzite with alterny shales. No fossils more observed. There is a little of ripple marking but little or no cross-bedding. "Gme C2 is practically like C3 and it is in the lower arenaceous limestones (? dolomites) that are got Glenelle, thompsoni, Orsmacis vartmontana and Bathgenstus holo. [illegible] (from J.T.). Most of the material is entire but most fractured and somewhat obscure due to the thin bedded shaly nature of the material and the weathering. "Along the northern part of East Arm one notes that the strata along the eastern shore have the strike of the shore and that the entire mountain side has the slope of the dip of the strata. If this general dip is maintained then it is evident that the Cambrian formerly crossed over the Long Range Mts of Laurentian rocks. In section they are as follows [see Logan, Geol. Canada 1863: 865]
