RELEORT OH THE) DIRECTOR, 1922 127 
accompanying sketch map shows the geographical outline of the 
Peninsula. To the northwest lie the Gaspé sandstones (Middle 
Devonian) ; to the north on the opposite side of the bay are the 
Grande Gréve limestones (Lower Devonian) ; to the south are the 
successive beds of the Bonaventure. 
At Chien Blanc, the green-gray Gaspé sandstones disappear 
terminated in their eastward extension down the bay by a dis- 
placement of some magnitude. Against them at an angle lte 
reddish shales. The dip of all is high, 80° in the former, about 
70° in the latter against the fault. Thence outward and eastward 
follow at least four beds of conglomerate separated by broad 
intervals of red to brown shales, the first of these, of lighter shade 
than the rest carrying plant remains of the same character as 
those in the Gaspé sandstone. The entire series on this north 
shore is terminated at St Peter point by a very heavy bed of 
coarse conglomerate which is continued under sea outward to 
Plato island, a half mile from the point. Here, thus, we have 
the sedimentary evidence of gradual passage from the Gaspé 
sandstones into the conglomerate series of the Bonaventure, 
which is also evidence of shoaling marine waters encroached 
upon by increasing indrainage from an arid continent at the 
east. Turning St Peter point to the south shore the fault dis- 
placement is shown quite evidently to extend across the early 
conglomerate bed as well as the shales beneath and. I give here 
the construction of the section from Belle Anse westward to 
Barachois. The strength of the displacement here noted is not 
equaled by any other fault recorded in this or the adjoining 
region. Winifred Goldring’s sections are here reproduced 
together with a block diagram showing the character of the dis- 
location at the point of this peninsula. 
Footnote: Since the foregoing was written, Mr Sherlock has made his exam- 
ination of the sections studied by Doctor Bagg with great pains, and with most 
generous consideration has undertaken a comparison with the determinations 
made in the original study. While Mr Sherlock is not in full agreement with 
Doctor Bagg’s determinations, he recognizes the difficulties confronting specific 
pnd even generic determinations from sections only and, with this handicap recog- 
nized, he is convinced of many of the points that Doctor Bagg brought out 
with reference to the very great range of these species and genera. It is with 
Mr Sherlock’s conclusions that we are here most intimately concerned, in view 
of the fact that there is no doubt remaining now as to the Early Carboniferous 
or Late Devonian age of these Bonaventure deposits which contain the Fora- 
minifera cherts. Mr Sherlock says: ‘My general impression of the Fora- 
minifera is that they do not prove the age of the cherts. Had I been handed 
them without any knowledge of locality and age, my impression would have 
been that they were probably Mesozoic and more likely Cretaceous than 
Triassic. There is nothing at all to suggets a Paleozoic age. Stratigraphical 
evidence must be accepted and we can only infer that Foraminifera have less 
value for determining age than we imagined.”
