Monday August 1-1910 Port au Choix.
A dark day until 3 P.M., then sunshine, dry wind.
Collected here day from Point Riel light-house after one
left off yesterday along the southern side of the peninsula to
the head of the bay in the Port au Choix post-office at Langhamille.
For nearly two miles from the light-house landward are
collected in Gme 11, beginning at the top of the zone and
continuing to a little below the orange layers. The latter are
near the base, from 15 to 20 feet above the base. This gme is
composed with fossils throughout, chiefly gastropods, and Deper-
ditias. At about 15 feet above the orange beds are seen many
Eurytomites. Endreous occur throughout the lower half
and as a rule include most parts of the shell. A tip end
is often crushed and was absent in life.
In gme 11 probably 50 feet above the base one thought one
daw four specimens of the sixthuncle of Pilcerus. One of
these are kept. Later when one came upon the orange layers
one concluded that they are not Pilcerus. This matter must
be looked into.
Stromatocranium occurs with and chiefly below the storms.
Dependitii seem like common thing from all the beds down
to the orange layers and some where seen here as once.
The abundance of Ilcaenus heads and tails filling the
living chambers for Endreous came in about 20 feet above
the base of gme 11.
The annulated opyge are usually found singly but once
than once today one found them in pairs, of two and
