"Wednesday August 17-1910 Bonne Bay.
Started out at 7 A.M. with the crew and returned to the boat
at 7 P.M. He examined the east coast from the point stopped
with yesterday to the southeast bay of East Arm and then
came over to the headland between the southeast bay and
the southwest bay. Then examined the entire west coast
of the East Arm to near the promontory that faces Reddys
Point.
He began collecting in the slate, with Olenellus stopped
at yesterday. After working around here for nearly 2 hours
we got only 2 good Olenellus (entire) and some imperfect ones.
yesterday we called this zone C 2 but today we are not
certain of this as Richardsons section today appears to be
wrong. He will re-measure the section tomorrow and then
definitely locate our zones.
Going south from this locality (which is about 1/2 mile
north of a little sour mill) one passed over the quartzites of
zone C 1, but beyond this we did not find the limestones of
zones B 7 and B 1 nor the Laurentian greises. The anticline
noted in Berl. Canada 1863: 867 we also saw but the
southeastly dip is practically continued to the head of East
Arm where the quartzites of zones C 1,2 and 3 again appear
along the shore. There is certainly something wrong in Richardson's
section.
Crossing over to the peninsular headland at the head
of the East Arm, and from here to within one mile of the
promontory facing Reddys Point the entire 9 miles.
