igoa] Ells Marl Deposits. 65 



known as Green lake, on lot 13, range IV, about one mile north 

 of the line of the Canadian Pacific railway, the marl is found along- 

 the shores of the lake, in one place with an exposed extent of five 

 acres, and a depth of from five to twelve feet, and also along the 

 southeast shore of the lake over a space of ten acres, having 

 about the same thickness. On lot 15, range II, in another small 

 lake the marl is found banked up four to five feet near the outlet, 

 extending for several hundred yards, and probably underlying the 

 water of the lake. In several others of this chain of lakes, which 

 extends across into the township of Horton, there are indications 

 of marl, but the extent of the deposits has not been determined. 

 The locality probably represents an old valley of the Ottawa river 

 extending from Pembroke eastward. 



Westmeath In the township of Westmeath, on lots nine and ten, 

 east front B, shell-marl is seen all round the shores of a small 

 lake, but the depth and extent of the deposit are unknown.

Temiskaming tit^-i ^i j ' t. C 



District narrows. Lake lemiskammg, there is a deposit ot 



marl of unknown depth, but of considerable thickness, since the 

 bottom could not be found on sounding with a long pole. Though 

 the lake is of small size the amount of the marl will here be of 

 importance.
