"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.
