Along the beach at Tadrasac saw Ostrea
originica, Mytilus edulis, Mya arenaria, Echinus
chrestokensis, Mastra and Fusius. The Littorina
littorea are very small here. Sea weed in vast profusion.
Saw no barnacles.
The Dajuenay has a finial aspect. No
scrap falls come from its sides.
As one gets out of the Dajuenay one sees two immense
terraces several miles long to the mouth of the river. One
seems to be about 200 and the other 400 feet above
the sea. To the south of the Dajuenay there is another
immense flat delta belonging to the lower level.
