It is apparently the least dis- turbed area about Lewis. The section appears to be descending. The lithology appa- r[illegible] changing rapidly from place to place. Evidently the material for very shallow sea. Top of Lewis series unknown. Overlying formation said to be the Quebec City formation of Trentonian age. There appears to be no Chazy equivalent here, though pettles in the Quebec City formation indicate that the dipper Chazy or rather the Normanshill equiva- lent (Cenpyx fural) was in this general region. There is apparently a thickness of hundreds of feet above the the shota. Here listed whose position cannot be made out for want of continuity in the section.
