Sept. 15th
Learned last evening of an
extensive outcrop of Shales 8 miles
south of Mr. Johnson's on Upper Leitches
Creek district, we drove down there
this morning and found a farmer
who knew the locality, hired him to
go with us.  In a little ravine 2
miles from Upper Leitches Creek we
found a few small brachiopods.
This ravine is in what is called
Barachois Glen.  Going a little farther
down the glen, and towards the
mountain, we found another extensive
outcrop of Cambrian Shales in a
ravine through which a small
brook runs to McClane's Brook.  This 
is 4 miles from the mouth of McClane's
brook which empties into Little Bras D'Or Lake.
There we found a very prolific band
in the shales and obtained a large
number of finely preserved brachiopods.
These, also, evidently Peltura Fauna.
Well paid today for hiring extra man & guide
