of the western shore of East Arm is if once a less leary
Ledded magnesian limestone and dolomites rather darker
[in places a blue-black] than the lown limestones seen
about Port au Choix and to the northward. Fossils are
exceedingly rare due in part to the magnesian character of
the beds but mainly to the somewhat metamorphosed and
especially cleaved structure. In places these limestone are
sharply folded and even cracked. North of the layn some
miles of the western shore the dolomites are rather like No
8 at Port au Choix and here one sees the depressional
Maje Torch phenomena like steel and another depressional geo
hyford. This limestone we take to be No 8 and so far
as I could judge is the highest zone of bould clay
the entire western shore of the East Arm. All of the
limestones seemingly are Zones 6, 7 and 8, but 5 may also
be present in the Headland at the Land of the East Arm.
It is possible that even No 4 is present but as to this
we have no evidence one way or the other. Passing
from south to north through the East Arm one notes the
undulatory lay of the beds and as the shore is also
more a low lying the strata one does not rapidly get into
deeper beds passing to the north. In general the dips
is southeasterly but locally it may be anything.
I can or whales in these limestones. Therefore the great
limestone series of the north is maintained to this place.
