As we came down from Chateau de Frontenac this
morning we had a good view of the conglomerates. The evidence
is unmistakable that much of it and especially the large
blocks are due to rolling and heating up of the limestone. Two
large blocks one seen 5 to 6 feet across. However there
are beds also of nodular limestones in which the nodules
in intermingled conglomerates are laid down in the
beds for 1 to 2 inches thick. The Lewis conglomerates
are dark brown conglomerates of foreign exotic lime-
stone as is proven by the fossils.
