Now the strata immediately to the north are a repetition of the immediately 
higher beds and at about 200 feet west of the limestones there is again found 
the same Monograptus zone. Farther west along the beach this Mono- 
graptus zone recurs and then the thin-bedded limestones rise in a com- 
pleted arch and syncline. They quickly rise again in an eastern limb 
of a larger arch, the western limb of which, and the Monograptus zone, 
are again seen farther northeast along the beach. The limestone series 
here has a thickness of about 30 feet, followed beneath by visible sand- 
stones and shales 20 feet thick. Beneath this greater arch are exposed 
about 250 feet of older sandstones and sandy shales. The higher strata 
then repeat themselves in an ascending section along the beach to a short 
distance east of Ruisseau Castilloux, where all are overlapped by the 
present beach sands to the eastern side of the barrachois. 
As mentioned above, older sandstones and shales are seen beneath the thin- 
bedded limestones with a depth of about 250 feet. In Little Port Daniel 
gorge the 30 feet of thin-bedded limestones are wholly exposed, dipping 
60 degrees south and their distance across the strike to the La Vieille 
limestone is about 500 feet, giving a thickness of about 430 feet for the 
basal Port Daniel sandstones 430 
Total thickness of Gascons formation, about 1,860 
Bouleaux Formation 
The Bouleaux formation embraces Logan’s zones 8 and 9, which 
together have a thickness of 700 feet. They are seen on either side of 
little pointe aux Bouleaux, where the upper 200 feet consists of thin- 
bedded, grey limestones replete with corals. Below are 500 feet of green 
sandy shales and limestones that weather red and pass without break into 
the Gascons formation. The junction between the latter and the Bouleaux 
formation is to the west of Chouinard brook, where there is a zone about 
40 feet thick of rippled beach sandstones in thin, slabby strata. 
Another fine exposure of the Bouleaux formation is to be seen going 
from West point north along the shore of Port Daniel bay to John Beebe’s 
home. Here it is more limestone than usual, and with many zones of 
coral breccias. These originally were coral plantations that have repeatedly 
been broken up and their stony bases scattered about by the storm waves. 
It was first intended to name these strata the West Point formation because 
of their being more fossiliferous here, but finally, because of a lack of 
geographic names, this place name for the next higher series was used. The 
latter are also well exposed at Pointe l’Enfer, but there, due to repeated 
faulting, about one-half of the strata are missing that are present from 
West point along the shore westward to Indian point. Neither, therefore, 
could l'Enfer be used. The descending section north of West point is as 
follows:
