They low mees down here are all along to the northward. plain, I think there are nothing more than the basal sand- stone and quartz conglomerate that lies about the Quebec Bridge. The beds of these ridges stand very outcared and in most cases the plain but almost horizontally into them. I have now a long time since I have seen Lillingwell Shales, and the idea I get is that one are beneath them, which I have been calling are so far west? [illegible] Laurier, It would seem that the red shales become less as Further east all of the Camasquilla ridges are gone. At St. Philippe de Nery, there are again many of them. They continue all the way to St. Pascal; south from St. Helene. They then are gone. We have had to the north of the railway a constant strip of sandstone from almost Totin to Bic in a distance of 31 miles. At St. Fabien the Shales show slaty cleavage. Stopping at hotel La Canada, rate #2.00 per day. There is another hotel Laval here but we the drummers see tips to Canada.
