taining gypsum. A kw of their localities noticed are the follow- 

 ing: — at Tallniadge ; No. 7 next to Carroll; very large ones on 

 Wawbawsoos lake ; on Junior lake ; near the Meeting-house Rips 

 on the Chepedueck river; at the thoroughfare of North lake on the 

 New Brunswick boundary, and in township 28 on the Bangor and 

 Calais Air Line Road. 



In the granitic regions of south-eastern Maine large boulders of 

 granite are very common, and it is sometimes the case that the 

 land is barren because it is strewed with them. Such examples 

 ma}' be seen in Hancock and "Washington counties, on the western 

 Schoodic lakes, and in No. T next Carroll. The rock in the latter 

 case is mica schist, and the cause of the great number of fragments 

 more difficult to explain. 



Additional Coui'ses of Drift Striae in Maine.

 sent all that we have. They are compass courses. The inferences 

 drawn from our previous list could also be drawn from this table :
