44 [[overstrike]] Sept. 14 [[/overstrike]] [[across page]] Talked with Mr. Mathew on my return to St. John about this locality He knew nothing about it. Did not get on to it. [[/across page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] 45 Sept. 14th Mr. Johnson took me 4 miles to Johnson's Brook on his farm at Boisdale. A locality not refered to by Mathew. Examined the shales along this brook from the highway where a sawmill is being built. After going over about 1000 ft. of Shales, about half way to the syenite on the mountain we found a thick band of coal black shales carrying numerous small trilobites apparently Sphaerophthalmus of the Peltura Fauna. Worked this horizon until 2 P.M. securing a fine representation of the fossils. Spent the rest of the day searching the shales exposed up the stream to the syenites on the mountain. This whole stream shows a great exposure of Cambrian Shales. [[end page]]
