Wea. SAT MARCH 6, 1909 Ther. Monday Sep. 24-1928 Lutton, Quebec. Slow in getting started because Claude car is out of order. Looked at Algourdan series to east of Pin- nacle Mountain. Mostly greywackes with groups of quartzites, magnetites and schists. One zone has sandy dolomite on each side of a syncline, about 100 feet or more thick. The middle groups of quartzites look like dome deposit because of the cross bedding that in places is distinctly concavely bedded. Also saw group of chlorite schists, all metamorphed lavas and ark-heds. Angulolutes, large and common. Evidently the Algourdan series is made up of marine dolomites, land lava flows, and continental dunes and water laid concretions with groups of ark-heds and magnetites. Back to Lutton for lunch. Then started for Call Hill near Converse- ville, to see the lower Paleozoic series. On the top of the hill is a thick folded white quartzite
