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

one Hyolithellus aricanus.
The trilobites seem to range throughout the 8's feet of Li.

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
