"Thursday August 18 1910, Bonne Bay.
I collected all the morning in the Lower Cambrie limestone
zone C 8 (equivalent C.G.) of the east shore of East Arm. Got many Ostrus
Crenus and other fossils.
Torahofel and the men returned to the little saw mill
of the east shore where the apex of the Lown Cambrie occurs
and he only make a section from this place to the top of the Lower
Cambrie. He got a very good Olenellus Thompsoni.
In the afternoon Torahofel and I started in at the former
lot that faces Reddy's Harbour and crawled along the shore south
into the main arm of Bonne Bay, beginning at the east
shore where the dead land is highest we saw no fossils but
ascended the horizon to be 7 or 8. Just where a little core
appears (practically the promontory still and not very so far
higher) we got a few peculiar opercula of Madlura.
This lot, a fossil is marked, Lot no 4, fifty feet higher
we got Agnosthis lateralis and Lepadidita. This lot is also
marked 4. This horizon I believe to be in zone 8 because at Mirijan
it is associated with Piloceras a fossil also found in Newfoundland
in zone 8.
Lot 3 came 28 paces higher.
Lot 2 came 130 paces higher, it consists of gastropods that
remined of Divisions 10 and 11.
Lot 1 came 50 paces higher. Here we got Amphilin tall and
Lepadidita in abundance. We take this horizon to be in 10 and
most probably in 11.
The prevailing dip of all these strata
is about 60 degrees to the south west.
