Went out Big Trout Brook way again to finish up the search in that direction. Searched several ravines leading up from the brook. Found plenty of Shale but no fossils. Along the hillsides were fragments of shales and flags like what Mathew calls Etcheminian but no fossils were in them and none were in situ. People in that vicinity said that Mr. Mathew spent considerable time in the open pasture lots on the drift material.

On way back on the other side of the river stopped again at Salmon River locality described on page 11 and looked for more fossils along Gillis hill. Found a very few. these appear to be Etchiminian.
