September 5th.

Worked again on Mathew's Etcheminian on McGodrum's Brook. Examined every layer of the shale and hard sandy bands carefully without discovering even a fragment of a fossil. 

The conglomerates crop out on the west side of the brook near the old dam and a few rods above cross over the brook and run northeast into the pasture. Where they cross the brook is seen the contact of the shales. Next to the conglomerate are a few feet of soft shales, red, grey, resembling Kavlin, above this are about 30 ft. of Mathews Upper Etcheminian Shales. And above these in the pasture lot are a few ft of hard red somewhat calcareous sandstone. From this point for one mile everything is covered to McLean's Brook.
