244 CONSERVATION OF CANADIAN WILD LIFE 
Reserv’ lies in the northwestern part of the county of 
Northumberland. It has a general width from east to west 
of 16 miles and from north to south it is 27 miles long. 
It embraces approximately 400 square miles of territory, in- 
habited by moose, deer, caribou, and fur-bearing animals. 
We hope that the provision of this reserve will assist in pre- 
venting the disappearance of the caribou from New Bruns- 
wick, an event which undoubtedly will occur within a 
comparatively few years unless much greater protection is 
afforded this animal. 
Within the reserve are a number of lakes, the largest of 
which are Serpentine and Mitchell Lakes, and rivers which 
have their origin in the reserve flow into the Tobique, 
Nipisiguit, and Miramichi Rivers. The protection of the 
headwaters of such important rivers will not be the least of 
the many useful functions this reserve will perform if it is 
effectively administered.

Gaspesian Forest, Fish, and Game Preserve.—In the cen- 
tral region of the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec an area of 
about 25,000 square miles was set aside by the provincial 
government in 1905 as a forest reservation, fish and game 
preserve, and public park. It includes a section of heavily 
timbered and hilly territory, in which numerous rivers, run- 
ning north, east, and south into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 
have their origin. The regulations regarding the hunting 
and fishing privileges are similar to those in force in the 
Laurentides National Park. 
Trembling Mountain Park.—About seventy miles north- 
west of Montreal lies Trembling Mountain, the highest point 
in the whole Laurentian range in this part of Canada, at- 
taining a height of 2,474 feet above sea-level, and 1,713 feet 
above the lake which lies at its foot. In 1894 this mountain
