Excerpt from Report on the Cambrian Rocks of Cape Breton

These clauses of Dr. Dawson's letter seemed to present to me the kind of investigation which he wished made in Cape Breton, and were taken as directive of the work which I subsequently arranged with him to do there. The short time at my disposal in three succes sive summers was given to this exploration, and intervals of leisure during the three years have been spent in working up the results of the field exploration.

I was guided by Mr. Hugh Fletcher in selecting areas where it was thought the best results could be obtained, and for this reason my work was confined to the Barachois basin on St. Andrews Channel, to Indian Brook basin and several smaller areas on East Bay, and to the most important parts of the valley of the Mira river. There are some other small areas of Cambrian rocks in the island of Cape Breton, but these Mr. Fletcher did not think would yield results such as I sought, and so they were not visited.
