REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR, I922 
examination. I shall not make any 
further reference to the character of 
the Foraminifera, as Mr Sherlock 
has most kindly offered personally to 
examine the original slides and now 
has them in his possession. This 
part of the problem may await his 
conclusions. 
The stratigraphic relations of the 
Bonaventure to the Middle Devonian 
Gaspé sandstones which must really 
be determinative of the age of the 
Foramininifera pebbles, have been 
passed under careful field review. 
The critical region for the precise 
determination of the stratigraphy of 
the Gaspé sandstones and the incom- 
ing stages of the Bonaventure forma- 
HOM, IS Une Sxnrswminy Of) WAS St 
Peter peninsula which on the north 
makes the south boundary of Gaspé 
bay and on the south, the north shore 
of the Malbay. It is a region rather 
remote from the line of travel in 
these railroad days and my own per- 
sonal acquaintance with it has not 
been sufficiently intimate for the pre- 
cise purpose in hand, but my asso- 
ciate, Winifred Goldring, who has 
been engaged in Gaspé in the acquisi- 
tion of paleobotanical material, has 
made a close and very satisfactory 
examination of the stratigraphy of 
the peninsula, coming out with per- 
fectly conclusive results as to the 
general accuracy of my previous 
conclusions to the effect that the 
Middle Devonian Gaspé sandstone, 
exposed in the St Peter region only 
in its upper part, is gradually re- 
placed by Bonaventure sediments 
coming in from the south. The
