on the hill side to the west of the village. He had a most awful Time among the sprawling arctic conifers, the mosquitoes and the Haemflex. He however learned that in the strata above the reef occur the trilobites and thicket brachiopods. Glenelles payments are common. Tomorrow we will make an effort to gather a lot of this material. Mr. Shaw directed us to Cape Jam, Mercer at Fort Jean who would direct us to some one to put us up at night. He had not the place to do this as he is in here only during the summer. However he took us to a Mrs. Flynn a very old lady who at times sports of the boarding preacher. On p. 287 of the Geol. of Canada Logan speaks of the Cambrian as being "divided into five or six tabular masses, separated from one another by narrow denuded portions of the grains, which in cvery case terminates in a deep bay" The separation into tabular masses is probably due to ancient rivers that flowed from Laurentia into the trunk streams now the Straits of Belle Isle. These valleys at Blanc Jardin and Forteau are wide (from 2 to 3 and mostly more than 5 miles) but the beaches are on the sides of the hills, while in the bottom of the valley there is often a few hundred feet sand that has accumulated in small dunes. When the sea was at the level of the upper beaches many of these tabular masses were islands. Forteau has the widest valley of these seen. L'Anse St. Claire the smallest. According to Woodley's map there appear to be ten of these tabular masses. Today we saw a large piece of conglomerate with quartz pebbles and of which offer an 1 or even 1 1/2 miles across. Logan speaks of some of its 3 inches. These are now more still rounded.
