Saturday July 23 - Onse au Loup. A quiet foggy morning and some rain, be hoped In mind up to ten and then gave it up for the day. In the afternoon walked along the shore of the west side of the bay to see the red sandstones. They are here they fed did sandworms hiding and I look each walked. Both these occurs at many levels. Also there is small vertical lining possibly due to vertical graining, we have a specimen of it. We then tracked limestone at 10 and 15 feet above the base of the reef limestone for fossils rather than the crabs. We get them in the intermediate spaces where the limestone is thinner and more, and is cleaving and harder. To our sur- priese we get Olenellus and probably Drepanocis leaves. Between no are got 7 or 8, one can be indistinct. Associated were Lutetina concinula, Oithis ?, Paterinia labradensis (small) and one Hyolithellus aricanus. The trilobites seem to range throughout the 8's feet of Li. congrua. Near the top Olenellus is once common and apparently large. We now must have near 500 pounds of fossils and crust and have probably as good a collection as that brought out by Richardson and Yorgan. One is struck here throughout the Labrador county by the absence of accumulations of glacial material and sharp moraines. All of the granite boulders seen are those of the beds exposed in the valleys. There one sees scattered here and there over the hillsides. The glaciers have removed all
