64 ALEXANDER MURRAY ON THE 
“6. Lewes Island. —Bonavista Bay. Scratches 8. 88° E. Height not given. Probably 
456 feet? Observations made under boulders just within the edge of a steep slope.” 
The following are also taken from Capt. Kerr’s observations in Notre Dame Bay and 
other places :— 
“Fogo Harbor—¥ogo Island. The ice marks are generally obscure as to direction, 
but appear to be N.E. Mag.=about N. 15° E. True. The surfaces are ground but do not 
retain the scratches. The boulders are chiefly of granite, apparently derived from the 
hills to the S.W., and are spread in trains up the S.W. slope of Fogo Harbor, 345 feet. 
They almost disappear on the N.E. slopes, but are present in groups at the water’s edge 
in the valley, N.E. of the head, mixed with smaller material, all worn. 
“Round Rocks under Brimstone Head.—Grooves and scratches, the latter coming out of 
the water on the south face of the rocks. Direction N. 30° E. Mag.= True N. 
“Islet.—K. side of Change Islands. Scratches bear N.N.E. Mag. 
“Indian Lookout—Change Islands. Grooves on vertical surfaces 230 feet above the 
sea. Scratches bear N.E. by E. Mag. 
“Tobacco Island.—Change Island. Scratches N.E. by N. Mag. 
“West End of Indian Island.—Grooves and scratches, N.E. by N. Mag. Rounded surfaces 
to the southward. 
“Dog Bay.—Coarse scratches on south side of bay. Direction northeasterly. Rounded 
surfaces to southward. 
“Gander Bay.—NScratches and grooves at the points bearing N.E. Mag. 
“Rocky Bay.—Rounded surfaces and drift boulders of granitoid rock. 
“Seldom-Come-By.—South side of Fogo Island. Scratches 8. 70° E. Mag. about N. 75° 
E. True. 
St. PIERRE ISLAND. 
“On Pigeon Island (one of the group) “ Roche moutonnée” well exemplified. 
“On Isle de Chien (one of the group). Scratches 8. 30° E. Mag. 
“On Main Island, 400 feet above the harbour, scratches bear 8. 30° E. Mag. under 
boulders. 
FAMEUSE, E. Coast or AVALON. 
“A deep deposit of drift on the road to Renews ; stones of granite or syenite predomi- 
nate. The slate of the country shows “roche moutonnée,” and long slopes on the N.W. 
side.” 
The south shore of Conception Bay exposes high banks of unmodified drift, containing 
numerous boulders of various sizes, many large, irregularly imbedded in a bluish sandy 
clay. Many of these are rounded, but they are chiefly sub-angular, and some are striated. 
A deposit of drift is spread generally over the interior of Avalon, and is exposed wherever a 
cutting has been made between the ridges of the hills or in the broader valleys. The valley 
of Freshwater near St. John’s, along which the new cuttings for the railway have been made, 
exposes sections along the line of upwards of twelve feet occasionally, but the total thickness 
is clearly a vast deal more. Towards the surface the débris is generally small and angular, 
consisting chiefly of the slate of the surrounding country. The surface of the low lying
