" Two springs have been examined from the township of Rawdon. 

 One of the third class from the twenty-fifth lot of the third range, is 

 soir.ewhat strongly saline, containing 4'96 parts of solid matter, in 

 I, GOO, and yielding the reactions of baryta, boracic acid, bromine 

 and iodine. The other from the twenty-seventh lot of the same range 

 is an abundant spring, of slightly sulphurous water, belonging to the 

 fourth class, which yields only o'32 parts of solid matter in i,ooo and 

 contains portions of sulphates and borates, with a trace of bromine. 

 These springs apparently rise from the Potsdam formation." 



Riviere Quelle^ Kamouraska Co. (a) — In the third concession of 

 the seigniory of Riviere Quelle, are several small basins wherein is 

 found a saline water. No analyses are available though a partial 

 examination showed the water to contain 13 "36 parts of solid matter 

 made up principally of chlorides of calcium and magnesium and a 

 small proportion of earthy chlorides, in 1,000 parts of water. 



Ste. Anne dt la Pocaiiere, Kamouraska Co. (a) — Several saline springs 

 are known to exist in this seigniory of which however no analyses are 

 available. Two of these, mentioned in the " Geology of Canada, 1863" 

 as occuring in the second concession gave 0*36 and 5*06 parts of solid 

 matter in 1,000 of water, the latter amount (5 '06) being contained in a 

 bitter saline water holding besides chlorides an abundance of the 

 sulphates of lime and magnesia. The water affording 0-36 parts is 

 slightly sulphurous and is strongly saline to the taste. 



6"/. Benott, Two Mountains Co. (a) — " A spring nearly opposite to 

 the old church of St. Benoit, rises thorough the clays, which here 

 overlie the Potsdam formation. The specific gravity of the water is 

 1004*3, and it contains about 6'o parts of solid matter to 1,000. This 

 water * ^ =)= =*= contains traces of carbonates, and large amounts of 

 calcareous and magnesia salts, both chlorides and sulphates " vide 

 Geology of Canada, 1863. 



St. Enstache, Trvo Mountains Co. (a) — A feebly saline water, 

 yielding i"88 parts of solid matter to r,ooo of water and rising from 

 rocks of the Trenton formation occurs near the village of St. Eustache 

 in the parish of that name.
