The Generalized Lewis Formation
at Lewis, Quebec, Canada.
As seen on East Main street where the road goes up
the hill, and along the International Railway east
to the Ship Funds. 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.
