RESUME AND FIELD NOTES.

cliene blanc et noir avec du noyer ; vegetation 
forestiere pauvre, les vignes tres rares. 
28 Juillet. —Sejour au Camp No. 4. 
29 Juillet. — Du Camp No. 4 au Camp No. 
5. —On suit un cliemin qui traverse et longe a 
moitie des collines de 100 a 200 pieds de haut¬ 
eur. Ces collines sont formees de gres liouillier 
avec des scliistes gris noiratre, indiquant la 
liouille. Plusieurs couches de ce gres com- 
mencent a devenir tres-ferrugineuses ; quelque 
morceaux de pyrites sulfureux sont dissemines, 
mais la plus grande partie est de l’oxide de fer, 
ainsi la source d’eau ou nous etablissons le 
Camp No. 5 est sulphuro-ferrugineuse, avec un 
gout tres marque. 
30 Juillet.—Du Camp No. 5 au Camp No. 
6. —On suit une vallee courant a l’ouest un 
peu sud, entre deux systemes de collines de 
gres, assez eleves, surtout au sud. Pas d’allu- 
vions, mais des sables, avec absence complete 
de boulders. Du creek oil nous campons, il y 
a des couches de gres tres-ferrugineux se de- 
composant facilement, brun a la surface ex- 
posee a Pair, et rouge oxide a l’interieur ; on 
voit aussi des scliistes gris noiratres avec con¬ 
cretions ; mais pas de fossiles. Couches hori- 
zontales. 
31 Juillet. — Du Camp No. 6 au No. 7, ou 
Sans Bois creek. —On continue a suivre la meme 
vallee, coupee de temps a autre pars des creeks 
qui sont a secs, la ligne de montagnes au sud 
est plus elevee que celle au nord. Pas d’allu- 
vions avec cailloux; des gres et scliistes, et des 
couches de houille qui affluent pres du Camp 
No. 7. 
1 Aout.—Du No. 7 au No. 8, ou Camp 
Cooper .—Nous passons de petites collines de 
gres et schiste houilleux, sans fossiles ; allu¬ 
vions de sables sans cailloux. Les lignes de 
montagne au sud et au nord ayaut la meme 
direction ; celles du cote du sud sont plus 
elevees que les jours precedents. 
2 Aout.—Du No. 8 au No. 9.—On passe 
constamment sur les gres carboniferes qui sont 
tres-developpes sans fossiles, disloques dans la 
direction O.O.S. aE.E. nord, les couches plon- 
geant au sud et sous un angle de 20 a 30 de¬ 
woods are composed of white and black oak, 
with butternut trees ; but the vegetation is 
poor, and the vines very scarce. 
July 28.—Remained at Camp No. 4. 
July 29.— From Camp No. 4 to Camp No. 
5.—We followed a road which crosses and 
passes along about half way up the slope of 
hills, from 100 to 200 feet in height. These 
hills are formed of a carboniferous sandstone, 
with blackish-grey schists, indicating coal. 
Several beds of these sandstones begin to be 
very ferruginous, and several masses of pyrites 
are disseminated, but the greatest part is of 
oxide of iron ; so the spring of water, where 
we established the Camp No. 5, is sulphuro- 
ferruginous, with a very strong taste. 
July 30.— FromCampNo. 5 to Camp No. 6.— 
We followed a valley running a little south of 
west, between two systems of hills of sandstone 
somewhat elevated, especially towards the 
south. No alluvium, but sand, completely free 
from boulders. From the creek in which we 
camped there are beds of very ferruginous sand¬ 
stone which readily decompose, with a brown 
surface where exposed to the air, the interior 
being colored red by oxide of iron. We also 
find blackish-grey schists with concretions, 
but no fossils. The strata are horizontal. 
July 31. —From Camp No. 6 to Camp No. 7, 
on Sans Bois creek .— We continue to follow 
the same valley, cut here and there by creeks, 
which are dry. The line of the mountains in 
the south is more elevated than that in the 
north. No alluvium with pebbles, but sand¬ 
stones and shales, and coal-beds, which are 
nearly level near Camp No. 7. 
August 1 .—Camp No. 7 to Camp No. 8, or 
Camp Cooper .—We passed little hills of car¬ 
boniferous sandstone and shales without fossils ; 
also alluvial depositesof sand without pebbles. 
The lines of mountains in the south and north 
having the same direction ; those of the south 
side are more eleva’ed than those of the pre¬ 
ceding days. 
August 2.— From Camp No. 8 to No. 9.— 
We passed constantly upon carboniferous sand¬ 
stones, which are very well developed, but are 
without fossils ; they are dislocated in a direc¬ 
tion W.W.S. to E.E.N., the beds dipping in
