The outlines and surroundings of two of tlic bogs are sufficiently illus- 

 trated by accompanying maps/ (Figs. 2 and 3.) Though in many features 

 different, they have yet some of importance in common. Both slope away 

 by steep grades to streams on one side, to swampy forest on another, and to 

 contact with high land, from which they are separated by a peculiar wet

1 From surveys made by myself and an assistant. At the Lepreau bog, angles- 

 were taken with a small pocket compass, and distances measured with a good tai)e- 

 line, and the results when plotted came out accurately. At the Seely's Cove bog the 

 angles were taken with a good compass with sights, and the distances paced, but in 

 plotting the survey the lines came far from meeting us they should, and I found 

 later that iron screws in the tripod disturbed the compass. The latter map is,, 

 therefore, less accurate than the former, and in details both are only approximate^
