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.
