Abstract. 
A considerable part of the Introduction contained matter pub- 
lished in the Transactiens of the Institute of Natural Science 
from 1876 to 1884. 
When observations were made at Rimouski, in 1883, it was 
considered that we had reached the “Ne plus ultra” in that 
direction. Qn my working chart I had extended my “ Halifax 
hypothetical line,” which passed to the east of Rimouski, to the 
northern extremity,—lat. 52 deg., 50 min.; long. 75 deg., 45 min. 
The reports of the Hudson Bay expedition of 1884, by Lieut. 
Gordon, R. N., commander, and Dr. Bell, geologist, with illustra- 
tive charts, blue books, and reports of’ progress of Geological 
Survey of Canada, have furnished us with important observa- 
tions by which we are enabled to extend our investigations. to 
existing glacial regions. Seven stations are reported as having 
glaciation with a south easterly course. Two of these,—viz. 
Marble Island, in the N. W. of Hudson Bay, and Nottingham 
Island, at the mouth of Fox’s Channel—having, respectively, 
S. 20 E., and S. 30 E., (magnetic) courses attracted attention 
from their resemblance to leading Nova Scotia courses. This led 
me to extend my working chart so as to include these and the 
other five stations in Hudson Strait and ‘he Atlantic coast. My 
chart, which was used in the illustration of this paper was thus 
six times the size of Lieut. Gordon’s chart, being 9x6 feet. 
Extending my Halifax and Rimouski, Hypothetical line, which 
was S. 20 E., N. 20 W., magnetic, it runs through Hud- 
son’s Bay, east of Marble Island, and west of Nottingham Island. 
I also extended my Antigonish and George’s Bay hypothetical 
line-—(Vide Trans. 1883, page 35.) This also runs 8. 20 E., N,
