Lewis June 3 - Wednesday,
[At out half way between the Lewis Ferry & St. Joseph]
Collected most of the day at the prop-
title locality at the first D. C. R. cutting
long wall on both sides, east of Lewis Ferry.
The section is as follows:
Up in section.
[D607] J.C.R. way.
[road 6070]
Sandston.
Dandy shales
About 14 feet thick.
Phillipsville lime.
Shale, fine shales
creetings, most on one
layer and rests not Tetta
formation, About 15 feet. Red antra
Limestone
Quartz Shales, then with liveal layers of
grants, etc on quartz beds, etc., are sand stones
Coyl. 4-5 feet
at least 10 feet thick if by the good layers.
The shale continues upward for
several hundred feet and there is more shale
all less sandy material. Then then dolomitic
bands are inserted, These become thicker and
then all goes into more and more to calcaren
shales. Apparently one of these sets below are
those seen along Champlain St in Quebec.
