station all the way to Johnson Cove (which is just
inside the western horn of Anse au Loup Bay) are exposed
the reef limestone and out at the sea end a little of the
sandstone. These limestones preserve nothing higher than
what we saw this morning, and the reef character is almost
total. The corals are more scattered here and do not
congregate into reefs. The red limestones are practically gone
and all the beds are grey modular li., or blue-grey
diverse hard somewhat impure (either sandy or muddy) li.
Other than the coral fruits are scarce.
We saw orbitas at three levels and they may occur
at any horizon from above 20- feet of the base of the li.
At the base of reef li. They are somewhat chalky, and
more impure than higher. The sandstones just below are
decidedly chalky all the way from Point Armone to
Johnson Cove. Again we saw them or found down in Red Cliff.
The sandstone series just above the granites is in Anse
au Loup Bay again a strange inherent conglomerate. It's
the loose nature that causes it to wear out easily
making good contacts impossible.
Here again as in all the bays seen, the granite appears
to be put to the head of the bay and it terminates in
a broad valley in which there may be more than one
horn or arm.
The hills here are about as high as at Fontaine.
The east horn of Anse au Loup Bay is made up entirely
of red sandstones and is called Red Cliff. Photographed.
