As we pass of Mount Royal considerable
heavy bedded limestone is to be seen. This darks
to left blue, dense, fracturing concretedly and
shows me the lithic impression of the Trenton.
Aside of this became chutes but nowhere did I
see fossils to remind me of the Trenton. The
top of the mountain has a fine crystalline vol-
canic. Then is about 300' feet off this citying.
Amis states that are in Trenton and that it
has been elevated by the volcanic action above
the regular horizon of the Trenton about 400 feet.
See if Adams agrees to this.
Along of Mount Royal every now and then
one sees small dikes cutting the dense limes
tone.
Purchased a number of Rotmans photo,
Left for Quebec at 2 P. M. on the
C. P. R. Arrived at 7, 10 P. M.
Extensive quarries in the Trenton second
miles east of Montreal on the C. P. R. Trolleys
can go here. There should be good collecting
here. The place is pretty "Ottle End" which
is five miles east of the city.
I'm the P. R. O.
For two hours this morning into Montreal,
then from Mount Royal and now again going out
