the river below (Fig 17), and this is named Mount Enaud (also spelled 

 Enault) for one of the most prominent of the early settlers at the 

 mouth of the river, mentioned by Cooney. 



Below Indian Falls no more prominent mountains appear. The 

 country becomes a flat plateau, sloping evenly and gradually eastward. 



31. — On Heights determined with Aneroid in 1899. 



(Read December 5th, 1699). 

 In the course of a canoe trip up the Tobique and down the Nepisi- 

 guit in August last, I made many measurements with a good aneroid. 

 These were all taken contemporaneously with the readings made at 

 Fredericton by Dr. Harrison for the meteorological service, and I wish 

 to express my thanks to him both for adjusting my aneroid and also 

 for a long series of readings used in computing results. I have since 

 found that my aneroid tends to read a trifle low, especially on the 

 greater heights ; hence the following figures are to be taken as below, 

 rather than above, the truth. Those marked with a star (*) have 

 never before been measured. The heights are all above mean sea level 

 at St. John. The position of all of the places, except the last in the 

 list, may be seen upon the map accompanying Note 30. 



Forks of Tobique (or Nictau)- Mean of two measurements, 576 feet. Wight- 



man gives (with an added correction explained earlier in Note 25) 575 



feet for four miles below Nictau. 

 Surface of Nictor Lake. Mean of fourteen measurements, 837 feet. Chalmers 



made it 878, and Wightman (corrected) 877. .Mean of the three, 864. 

 Sagamook for Bald) Mountain. Mean of two measurements, 1633 feet above 



the lake. Chalmers gives 1659, and Wightman 1719. Mean of the 



three, 1670 above the lake, and 2534 above the sea. 

 *Mount Carleton. By direct measurement 112 feet higher than Sagamook, 



and hence 1782 above Nictor Lake, and 2646 above the sea. 

 *Mount Gordon, on Nictor Lake. 705 feet above Nictor Lake, and 1569 above 



the sea. 

 *Bank of Caribou Brook, half way across the Nictor-Nepisiguit Portage, 984 



feet. 

 Surface of Nepisiguit Lake. Mean of rive measurements, 101 1 feet. Chalmers 



givee 996 ; mean of the two, 1003. Mr. Chalmers statement that this is 



the highest lake in New Brunswick, was of course made before the 



heights of the lakes on the south branch of Tobique, which are much 



higher, were measured. By direct measurement I made it 145 feet 



above Nictor Lake, /. e., 864 + 145 = 1009.
