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 Diagram of locality opposite page. [[end page]]
