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.
