office (Shiboananing). Thence, crossing Lamorandiere bay, it reaches 

 George lake at the southwestern end. It then appears to pass through 

 George lake and, following its inlet from Ka-ka-kis lake, crosses the latter 

 about the center, cutting the western boundary of the township of ( larlyle 

 about five miles north of * lollins inlet. It then strikes across the country 

 for about four miles, reaching Brush Camp lake two hundred and fifty 

 yards north of the Crooked Lake narrows. Crossing two points which 

 jut out into Brush Camp lake.it intersects the neck of land between 

 this and Three-mile lake, reaching the latter at its southeastern end. 

 Continuing through Three-mile lake for about two miles, il crosses the 

 eastern boundary of the township of Goschen three miles and a half 

 south of Lake Panache. Throughout this distance of twenty miles the 

 line of junction runs with gently sweeping curves in a general direction 

 of N. 60° E. The La Cloche range of mountains ends somewhat abruptly 

 at Brush Camp lake, for Northeast peak, the highest in the range (1,762 

 feet above the sea), is but two miles -east of this lake. These hills are 

 composed of Huronian white quartzite, and are here interrupted by the 

 gneiss, which occupies comparatively lower ground.

Huronian and Laurentian Rocks found then described. — Dr Robert Bell, 



in his report* on the geology of the neighborhood of the village of Kil- 

 larney (Shiboananing), says: 



"The village itself stands upon red syenitic granite, which, except at the sides, 

 has a massive homogeneous structure, hut in a few instances a single reddish or 

 yellowish green shaly streak an inch or two in thickness was observed, running in 

 a northeasterly direction. Toward each side the grain of the reck begins to assume 

 a sort of parallelism or a gneissoid structure. The granite is flanked by a stratified 

 rock of reddish-gray color, consisting of a tine-grained crystalline mixture of feld- 

 spar and quartz." 



Both rocks have approximately the same northeasterly strike, but 

 while the Huronian beds are about vertical, the granitoid gneiss dip- 

 southeast at an angle of 50°. Dr Bell refers this granitoid gneiss to the 

 Huronian rather than the Laurentian, although he gives no reason for 

 so doing. The coincidence in direction of the streaks in the midst of the 

 granite itself, the absence of any sharp Line of division, as well as the 

 more perfect development of the foliation near the junction of the 

 Huronian strata, are characteristic features of obscure or non-foliated 

 gneissic areas.
