Tuesday July 26. Flora Cove - Current Island. Rained again last night, dark day, before to the station. Left Flora Cove at 7.30 A.M. The dolomites are once thin folded as we go south to Bear Cove and Anchor Point. There is some infra-mamifical conglomerate, some craegry and riffles. Saw a few Lingula acuminate. At times the dolomites are small crushed with by-form like thing but no structure of any kind is preserved. Maybe fossils. The strike of the strata at Anchor Point is, S. 20-30° W. and the jointing nearly due east. In one place we saw a small local fault of 100 feet or so in length. We saw something of the strata along the low shore nearby to Anchor Point. After that it rained hard and we had to give up all work other than walking to Mr. Hat Taylor house opposite Current Island. Our work is beset with or many difficulties in the way of the weather, insects, sea-sickness etc that our papers is not satisfactory. The topography is here as at Flora Cove, no higher. Saw some large pieces of glacial striated dolomites. It is doubtable that this work was done before the elevated lands were made. About this known I am not certain.
