Joggins July 12- 1912, Friday Croth Hyde and Morris left us this morning to go Londry coal field. Bill and J started south along the section from Joggins. Found the interesting vertical Sejillaria and 14 Calamites illustrated on opposite page. Behave now passed over the material of the southern shore to a little south of Raised Reef. The material re- sembles much of Division 4. Throughout Div 3 there are regularly deposited greenish shales with coal streaks though these are of far less importance than in 4, but the sandstone appears to be of greater free. Division 2 appears to have no coal streaks though the greenish shale grous are still present. Ones begin to appear thick grous of soft crecen paired yellmish sandstone, that are once or less cross bedded but not or exeeing as known done in the section. In Division 1 at the base the yellowish sandstone between the extensive banks of red shales are thier and em- glomeratic. Between the coarse sand are fairly well rounded red, white, and some black glaint pebbles. At certain grous in the sandstone occur quantities of oddly material and in one place there is a large protactile refut dry and 8 mts in diameter. It looks more like lead nugget. There is near north hand of Two Rivers.
