It is very fortunate that the Bridon-Joggins line of separation as now drawn will stand. It will probably be shown that the tip of the Bridon is any different in different places. For instance at Cape Anchester seen yesterday the tip of the bright red clay had an immense amount of ligning concretions, At Hardridge nothing of these teds is present. In other places Elles notes the contact between the Drillstone grit and the Bridon is decidedly unconformable. The Bridon series is thus for layed a red shale series, we saw 200 foot thick limer which appears to be 200-300 feet more of shales in which occur the fridifuns limestone and the gypsum.
