GAMACHIAN SERIES 703 



above at Cape James, there is a coral reef just below the Hormotoma 

 gigantea zone of Cg. The chief fossils are Favosites gothlandicus, Colum- 

 naria Jialli, Calapoecia anticostiensis, Beatricea undulata (common), B. 

 nodulosa (rare), Orthis cf. davidsoni, Platystrophia cf. reversata, Schu- 

 chertella pecten, 8t7'ophomena fluctuosa, Hindella umhonata, Illcenus 

 orhicaudatus. 



Zone Cg. South shore. Hormotoma gigantea beds. The fossils here 

 are still those found in Cq, but Beatricea and Hindella umhonata are seen 

 here for the last time. The more characteristic species are Halysites 

 catenulatus, Heliolites affinis, H. tenuis, Protaroea vetusta^ Stromotopora, 

 Favosites gothlandicus, Dinoholus cf. davidsoni, Platystrophia hiforata, 

 Orthis laurentina (rare), Dinorthis porcata, Hehertella maria, Leptcena 

 rhomboidalis, Plectamhonites sericeus, Strophomena fluctuosa, Schuchert- 

 ella pecten, Clitamhonites diversus, Parastrophia reversa, Rhynchotrema 

 anticostiensis, Rhynchonella (?) janea, R. (?) nutrix^ Atrypa marginalis, 

 Hindella umhonata (rare), Cornulites richmondensis , Suhulites elongatus, 

 Hormotoma gigantea, H. rugosa, Salpingostoma richmondense, Cyrto- 

 lites desidei-atus, and Ascoceras newherryi. 



Zone Cg. North shore. The fauna here is very much like that of the 

 south shore. The strata may be seen in the back part of Prinstie Bay 

 and in the higher arenaceous limestones of Cape James, lying above the 

 upper sandstone horizon. Some of the species are Pasceolus halli, Bea- 

 tricea, Stromatopora, Halysites catenulatus, Heliolites affinis, Columnaria 

 halli, Favosites gothlandicus, Platystrophia hiforata, Leptcena nitens 

 (rare), Schuchertella pecten, Rhynchonella (?) janea, Hindella umho- 

 nata (common), Cornulites richmondensis, Hormotoma gigantea, H. 

 rugosa, and Cyrtolites desideratus. 



The lower zones of C (Ci to Cg) appear to be represented along the 

 north shore by a thick sandstone showing in many places deposition by 

 agitated waters. The sands are composed of fine quartz and calcite 

 grains, the latter dominating in the upper part where the corals appear. 

 These strata do not have a large fauna except in the higher beds, while 

 some of the lower sandstones show practically no fossils. Above the 

 arenaceous shale forming the base of Point Joseph, at the top of which 

 the line between B and C is drawn, there follows a 15-foot bed of fine 

 grained cross-bedded sandstone and 30 feet of arenaceous shale, which 

 carries the section to the west side of the Bay du Gros Caillou. A con- 

 cealed area extends the section to the foot of Grindstone Cliif, where an 

 additional thickness of 60 feet of fine grained thin-laminated undulatory 

 sandstone was measured. The above beds contain few fossils. Still 

 higher are other sandstones forming the base of the east end of Cape
