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.
