At 5 P.M. we land at the bay Ellis
Bay near of Mr. Meunier. I start out at
once for the White Cliffs and find it in-
teresting collecting. The common fossils are
Orthos laurentina, Schuchertella, Rhipido-
mella. There are quite a number of other
fossils.
The lower half of the cliffs is a shale
[illegible], the upper half an hard, dense
conchoidal fracturing light colored limestone.
Out of the latter got a small slab with
several crinoid heads. Was surprised to
see here Beatrixea undulata and Portarea
retusta.
In the shale Orthos laurentina is com-
mon, rarely a Brinchella and along the beach
Platystrophia and Amostraphia. Tomorrow
[illegible] tells me n Tom can work on and cut
them to pickling these small things.
Slept at the end of the day of Mr. Harris.
