Toronto August 25-1912, Sunday.
A hot sultry Sunday morning.
Left Toronto on B.T.R. at 12:15 P.M.
for Niagara Falls, New York.
At Douglas Farm, Oakville and the
(next station southward) the red Richmond
(=Queenston) = Queenston n are the streams show that
the greenish layers have hard banks, These
I should think would reveal fossils.
The Niagara cuesta appears at
Burlington when it is about 2 miles to
the northward. This is 31 miles south of
toronto and 7 miles north of Hamilton.
To the north of Bratu down which is 4
miles north of Hamilton there is a large tile
works that is probably using the Richmond red
shale and glacial clays. North to the north
of these works the B.T.R. has cut through the
Richmond and here I should think fossils
can be collected.
