igoo] DowLiNG — Summary OF THE FiELD-WoRK. iii 



After examining^ the Wallace mining location he coasttd the east 

 coast of Georgian Bay to Penetanguishene and Collingwood. 



Hunt visited mineral springs at St. Leon, Caxton, Champlain, 

 Quebec, Varennes, Sabrevois and St. Benoit, Que. 



1849. 



Logan and Murray spent most of the summer in the Eastern 

 Townships between the Chaudi^re and the Temiscouata road. As 

 coal was supposed by some to occur near Murray Bay and Bay 

 St. Paul, Que., and petitions for borings had been sent to the 

 Legislature, Logan was asked to make an examination. This 

 took some time, and he did not finish his work in the Eastern 

 Townships. 



Hunt accompanied Logan on the St. Francis and Chaudi^re 

 rivers, but later visited portions of Jthe west to collect soils. 

 Mineral waters also occupied part of his attention. 



1850. 



The Provincial Act creating the Survey expired in March, and 

 it was August before it was renewed. 



Logan was part of the time in London superintending the 

 collection of exhibits for the Exhibition, but later continued the 

 examination of the gold-bearing gravels of the Chaudiere. 



Murray spent the summer in Western Ontario tracing the 

 rocks of the Niagara escarpment. 



Hunt was with Logan in the Chaudiere district. In Sjptem-. 

 ber he went to the north shore of the St. Lawrence below Quebec 

 and then returned to Montreal to continue laboratory work. 



Richardson collected fossils at Cornwall. 



1851. 



Logan went to England with the exhibit but returned in 

 August, then, with Richardson, studied the outcrop of the Pots- 

 dam sandstone near the St. Lawrence. 



Murray worked between the Ottawa and St. Lawrence 

 rivers east of Gananoque. He made a short excursion to Ennis- 

 killen Township, in Western Ontario, to examine into the reports 

 of mineral pitch or petroleum. He also collected fossils at Ed- 

 wardstown and in Township Beverly, Went worth, Ont. . j-lV^Ny^
