Panstrovo, July 9-1912 Tuesday.
Left Panstrovo on the 9.25 for the Joggins.
As we got 10 miles n of Panstrovo we come upon a small lake and to the south of it for miles one is along the edge of a plain that looks to me like the alluviated valley of this great lake.
Further on we see nothing in the topography suggesting the Cretaceous, he must therefore be in the Cumberland basin.
The Springhill coal field is a very limited one and apparently in a down faulted tract. One bed is 13 feet thick and another 11 feet but not all good coal.
We go south to Springhill Junction and now all the hills have a flat top, the denuded Cretaceous plain. Here we change cars for the Intermidial. We go west but 10 minutes and change again at Chacean when we have lunch. Here we change again on another small local road to go at 1.30 P.M. for the Joggins.
Between Springhill Junction and Chacean one sees wide tidal flats that formerly were under the influence of the Bay of Fundy. The tide comes here to Chacean and above the regular tidal flats one sees the remains of another that lies far half 30 feet higher.
