August 8th,

Followed the Upper Cambrian Shales on McNeil's brook for one and a half miles towards the 3rd bridge on McDonald road. See diagram page 2. 

Hired Rory McDonald to help me work up some of the very hard sandy bands out of the water on the bed of the brook. Out of these we secured quite a number of good specimens.

In the afternoon worked down the stream and below the bridge crossed by the Shingle Mill road found [[strikethrough]] Lower [[/strikethrough]] Middle Cambrian brachiopods. These were in a hard band in greyish shales about 10 ft. above the bed of the brook on the west bank of the stream just below the bridge. Left the fossils of this bedding for tomorrow.

See diagram page 2.

Two localities marked Aug. 8th & Aug. 8th & 9th.
