8 Aout.—Du No. 13 au No. 14, 9 milles .— 
Sur le gres houiller et les schistes marneux 
noirs. II y a une montagne ou l’on trouve 
que les gres sont disloques. Souvent les gres 
sont tres-ferrugineux. 
9 Aout.—Du No. 14 au No. 15.—A 3 milles 
du No 14 on a une montagne de 100 pieds de 
hauteur a traverser qui est mauvaise pour les 
wagons. C’est du carboniferous sandstone dis- 
loque, inclinaison 60 degres, plongeant a l’est 
est sud. A Shawnee village on a de nouveau 
des alluvions sableuses tres-considerables. 
Nous sommes de nouveau dans la vallee du 
Canadian river. 
10 Aout. —Carboniferous sandstone 6 milles 
de Shawnee town, les couches inclinent ouest 
ouest sud, sous un angle de 15 degres, argile 
grisatre alternant avec le gres.—[?]—Sableuse 
tres-fine, avec qulques caillonx de gres et de 
dolomie dans le sable alluvial. 
11 Aout.—Du No. 16 au No. 17.—Peu apres I 
notre depart du camp on trouve une couche de 
sandstone tres-brechiforme, a petits cailloux 
anguleux blanc argileux et de limestone. 
Souvent cette breche est ferrugineuse. Pas de 
fossiles! A 2 milles en remontant Little 
river, on a dans le lit de la riviere du sand¬ 
stone fin et grossier, avec fossiles du Lower Car¬ 
boniferous, tels que Bellerophon, Crinoids, Pro- 
ductus and bivalves. Je trouve les memes 
fossiles dans le creek au Camp No. 17, ainsi nous 
sommes sortis de la region des coal measures 
pour le lower carboniferous, entre Shawnee 
valley et Shawnee town. 
14 Aout.—Du No. 17 au No. 18.—On jtasse la 
plaine pour avoir a sa droite un rideau de pet- 
ites collines qui separent du Canadian river les 
eaux de Red river ; # ces collines de gres car- 
bonifere ne s’elevent que de 50 a 70 pieds. 
On a dans les creelcs des couches de sa7id- 
stone avec breche siliceuse et ferrugineuse ou 
poudingiforme de gres blanc jaunatre. Pas 
de fossiles. L’alluvion formee de tres-petits 
cailloux de silex carbonifere avec quantite de 
sables blancs. 
15 Aout. — Du No. 18 No 19 au. —On suit 
August 8.— From Camp No. 13 to Camp No. 
14, (nine miles.) —We were upon carboniferous 
sandstone and black marly shales. We found 
a mountain where the sandstones were dislo¬ 
cated, and they are often very ferruginous. 
August 9.— From Camp No. 14 to Camp No. 
15. —At three miles from Camp No. 14, we 
cross a mountain one hundred feet high, which 
is very bad for wagons. It is of dislocated 
carboniferous sandstone, with an inclination 
of fifteen degrees E.E.S. At Shawnee village 
we again find very considerable sandy allu¬ 
vions. We are still in the valley of the Cana¬ 
dian river. 
August 10.— From Camp No. 15 to Camp 
No. 16.—Carboniferous sandstone appears at 
six miles from Shawnee village ; the beds in¬ 
cline W.W.S. at an angle of fifteen degrees; 
greyish clays alternate with the sandstone. 
Sandy-[?] very fine, with some pebbles of 
sandstone and dolomite, are found in the allu¬ 
vial sand. 
August 11.— From Camp No. 16 to No. 
17.—A short time after our departure from 
the camp we found a bed of hrecciated sand¬ 
stone, containing little angular pebbles of 
white clay and limestone. This breccia is 
often ferruginous. There are no fossils. On 
going two miles up Little river we find in its 
bed a fine and a coarse sandstone with fossils, 
of the lower carboniferous, such as Bellerophon, 
Crinoids, Productus, and bivalves. I found 
the same fossils in the creek at the Camp No. 
17, so we left the region of the coal-measures 
for that of the lower carboniferous, between 
Shawnee valley and Shawnee village. 
August 14.— From Camp No. 17 to Camp 
No. 18.—We passed the plain and found on 
our right a range of small hills, which sepa¬ 
rate between the waters of the Canadian and 
the Red river. These hills of carboniferous 
sandstone have a height of from only fifty to 
seventy feet. We find in the creeks beds of 
sandstone with silicious and ferruginous brec¬ 
cias or conglomerates of yellowish white sand¬ 
stone without fossils. The alluvium is formed 
of small pebbles of carboniferous silex, with a 
quantity of white sand.
