"From the evidence in the gulch it appears that as one gets back towards the old shale line the strata of the sandstone series are all red and here take on towards the top a clay character. The white bear hidden sandstones occur farther south and away from the old shale and gulch. Then too the Archaeogatherias are no longer here in such decided cups as farther south, though on both sides of Fortuna bay (in the back n north end) the cups are large and better developed in the gneiss so to be far above the sandstones. "To soon or we intend to walk to La Chaise Golf and have our boat meet us there. "None of the higher beds from 65 to 132 (n. Zephrin 143) but are present here at all. All are now worn through erosion. As one goes northward the limestone series becomes thinner though not worn out. About Blanc Darton these higher beds are present but all are covered with vegetation and all we could study there were the lower to foot. Of the higher beds Forrest Jell saw four limited exposures and at first he broke the lime-stone but saw no fossils.
