Wea. SUN. JAN. 17, 1969 Ther. Thursday Aug. 14, 1924 Big rock cuts tr west of Petit Metis, and somto east. Also around Pedone. All look like Quebec grins. Some are red like lillery. Its dilly country all about, but no means mountains. All about Jazateed this is flat land and much farming. Lake Matapedia to east. Els only has old Lillurian here. Looks like old Lake bottom. No rock exposures. Val Brilliant is as large as Bayabec or layer; it is beside Lake Matapedia. See no rock exposures. Farming and lumbering. What I say of the Notre Dame Mt's are hill hardly over 100-600 foot high. Amqui is another large village at the east end of Lake Matapedia.
