60 BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 



Cundy is a small lake amidst dense woods in an undulating country. 

 Its height above mean sea level is, according to my aneroid measure- 

 ment, about 600 feet. Its approximate size, shape and depths are, 

 like those of the remainder of the chain, represented on the accompany- 

 ing map. 



Of Pokeawis, I know nothing, except that the stream which empties 

 it is much larger than that from Cundy. Like other features dotted 

 in on the map, it is added from other plans, principally one loaned me 

 by Mr. George Barnhill of St. John, who knows this region more 

 intimately than any other man. 



Long Lake lies about forty feet lower than Cundy. Its shores rise 

 into low rolling wooded hills, and it occupies a winding valley, though 

 I do not think it is an old valley of erosion, but rather is a basin 

 formed by a dam amongst irregular hills. It has the typical appearance 

 of a northern lake of the granite country, with dark, somewhat turbid 

 water, shores of granite boulders lined up by action of the ice to almost 

 the regularity of masonry, with a dense evergreen forest above and 

 overhanging them. It has one sandy point, however, and altogether 

 is not unattractive. At its lower end it empties amongst great angular 

 granite boulders by a straight, rapid passage of one hundred yards, 

 falling about four feet into a deadwater below. From this outlet down 

 to Tictoria is a thoroughfare winding about amidst a heath bog which 

 occupies the shallow basin of an old lake, and expanding at times into 

 pools of considerable size. Robinson's Pond is said to be small, shallow, 

 and marshy, and the same is true of Cranberry or Tomoowa Lake, 

 which is rapidly being overgrown by the bog from its southern end. 



Victoria Lake is well known to some St. John people, for it is 

 famous for its trout fishing. For the most part its shores are of the 

 typical boulder sort, but on the west and southwest occurs much 

 attractive white sand beach, which has no doubt been derived by wave 

 and ice action from the ridge of sand and gravel along the western 

 side. This ridge extends out northward in the peninsula shown on 

 the map. The height of this lake above sea level is, by aneroid, about 

 550 feet*. It is rather a shallow lake, especially in its western part, 

 which is probably due to the washing out of the sand and gravel from 

 the western shore. At its eastern end appear hills of considerable 

 height, which have been burnt over and are partly covered with a low 

 second growth bristling with great rampikes. Victoria is on the 

 boundary between the great burnt country, of which T shall presently 

 speak, and the unburnt country to the westward.
