The steamer Germario landed at Owen Sound early at 8 P.M. and as there was still some light we walked to the place seen from the steamer about one- half mile east of the landing. The limestone above the red shales is a series of at least 30 ft. of thin-bedded magnesi- dian limestone that we take to be the Leptaena schambideli beds. Here they are about 50 ft. above the lake, while on the mountain top of Clinimood they are nearly 900 ft. above the lake.

The contact of these limestones with the red shales appeared from the steamer to be as sharp as that seen near Collinwood, [See later August 16 and 17]
