Figs. 4 to 9.— Elevations from lines of levels in the Lepreau and Seely's Cove bogs. 

 Letters answer to those on figs. 2 and 3. Vertical scale the same in all figures. 



Fig. 4.— Shows the elevation of the Little Lepreau river at W. The bog proper 

 begins at b ; below that is boggj' meadow. Clay bottom was found at c. D to 

 G horizontal, and vertical scale are the same, hence the slope is true scale. 



Fig. 5 —Shows the elevation of the bog above the clay bottom at the margin. A to 

 f, flat bog. A to F drawn to true scale, thus showing the slope. 



Fig. (5. — Same section as in fig. 4, but with horizontal scale diminished ; shows ex- 

 aggerated the curve of the bog. 



Fig. 7.— The height of the bog above the wet strip along the high land. The levels 

 showed that the point X is not the highest spot on the bog, as was previously 

 supposed, but that a spot northeast of it is some inches higher. 



Fig. 8.— Cross-section of Seely's cove bog. Scale diminished greatly horizontally. 

 Bog proper begins at b ; water of the brook at w.
