21 paces towards cape Bon Ami from the "stewarti bed are about 10 or 15 ' (horizontal) of hard sandy sh ss. and ash beds which I shall call bed 14
These are exposed at low tide only. Collected fossils all day - Good day.

Sunday - returned to Dalhousie chiefly to take notes and collect from beds exposed at low tide only. Bed 7 is in contact with the Barberie andesites which are amygdaloidal in the upper part. Bed 7 is hard arenaceous limestone containing many corals. [[^left margin]] Dip on bed 7 is 52[[degree symbol]] NNE [[/left margin]] The lower contact is very irregular and the lowest bed is a hard ls. 1 - 2' thick. Bed 7 is 5 to 7' thick. To my mind the fauna of bed 7 is essentially the same as that of 8 - 10, except there are more corals in 7.

Bed 8 - sandy sh, ashy, bluish gray weathering brownish on surfaces, said to be 20'. I see no definite separation from bed 9. faunally or lithologically. Has clams like bed 9.

Bed 9 is the one from which most of the loose & good fossils come. The brook cuts them about the lower third of the bed.
