August 15th.

Went 12 miles to Salmon River locality, and 1 mile south of the Salmon River bridges, and half a mile from the limestones, seen outcropping by the side of the highway, found grey shales or flags along the east slope of Gillis Hill from which some small brachiopods were obtained which may be Etcheminian. This is in the region of the Etcheminian Zone of Mathew. No rock, however, was found in situ, but the shales are scattered along the whole hillside.
