Saturday August 6-1910 Table Head. Walked along the path across Table Head to the Lepeditia bed and then along the shore to Table Head from where evidently Richardson began his Table Head section (See. Canada 1863, 1869). Cannot accept Richardson's definition [illegible] minus divisions. "0/1 of 8" (1869). Accept his measurements. 100 feet One or two heavy bedded, pure to dirty colored, more or less crassly crystalline dolomites, that in weathering have much quartz sands. There is [illegible] change into crystalline dolomite. Forms as scarce but are those are seen at Port-cum-Coig Bay. Richardson's thin bedded definition is seen only on weathered areas and is shallow stuff and not original bedding planes. The dip is ductile here the [illegible] of the section and about that seen far over in out. M 30 E. dip 23 W. Thickness according to P, 100 feet. "#2 or 8" 165 feet. Richardson's "concealed gneis" is more once a less exposed at low gratan and are see that the character of the beds is identical with that of #1. Towards the top the beds are well exposed and are once very bedded, even handed [illegible] and and crystalline limestone like, with occasional small masses of chert. Here one sees almost no fossils. Some little 1/2 cm-crassily was seen. "I guess 1 and 2" or 9 135 to 174.5 feet (latter Tomkfields estimate. All divisions are arbitrary throughout the Table Head section. Division K = 100 feet. Division K is grade of a series of one or less heavy bedded directly [illegible] limestones with Lepeditias, small ? Camarella stromatolites and the common breccia, interbedded with every bedded highly fracturing (vertical) yellowish weathering fine grained
