small quantities of galena. For nearly 250 years these little silver-lead 

 deposits have been periodically exploited and more money has been 

 expended on them than has been or can 

 ever be taken out. The veins may be seen 

 at Little Gaspe, at Grande Greve, St 

 George's cove, Indian, cove and elsewhere. 

 The general southward slope of the hills 

 of the Forillon from the high crests on the 

 north coast is almost an expression of the 

 true dip, deviating therefrom as the orig- 

 inal surface contours have been modified by 

 wear. The hillside slopes are steep but are 

 for the most part less than 24°.

 section. At Peninsula opposite Gaspe Basin, by following the brook there 

 transecting the strip of sandstones in the foreland one encounters behind 

 them the chert-bearing limestones. This section, however, does not extend 

 far into the limestone deposits. 



Fauna of the Grande Greve limestones 

 It is quite noticeable that the species of this fauna are of restricted 

 upward range. Future study may demonstrate a more refined subdivision 

 of the rock series on the basis of such range of the species.
