"The dips and strile appear to be the same through up to the Elysian fields. Bring south we come into a small core in which the measures are concealed partly due to their being clear where. The floor one sandstone like that of Black Point. Here I saw a good leaf in outline of Cadaitz and a poor impression of what I took to be Lepidodendron ( the one or common in the coal dumps at the Jiggins Mine, it has square leaf bases). A similar Lepi was seen by Bell at Black Point. and Then another one concealed measures all the way to Leemans Brook and around Mill Cove. Partly one out shales are in here. Then immediately to the south are picked up in the lead prices of limestone with London Products. As it rained hard at 4 P.M. we had to quite cave. Stopping at a farm house just at Mill Cove we learned that part limestone prices are to be seen at low tide and as his land has silt in it, with gypsum on another farm one inland it is evident that the London series comes in just to the south of Mill Cove. Leemans section begins less than one mile south of this point.
