first in all their features ; the trap was, however, seen here to in- 
terfere with the syenite in broad dykes, and the former was oc- 
casionally traversed by veins of felspar ; these veins were obser- 
ved in some instances to form a connecting link between the 
syenite aboye and the same rock below, so that it is not pos- 
sible to say if they have been filled from above or beneath ; 
(pl. 7 fig. 4,) These veins were frequently observed in 
other places. 
The next rock to the last-mentioned was composed of flesh- 
coloured light brown quartz, and black points of mica, and in 
which no imbedded trap was seen. To this, trap, apparently 
stratified, succeeded, and then a syenitic rock holding imbedded 
large patches of trap, (pl. 7 fig. 5.) 
Further to the south, a specimen of trap was procured from 
a wide dyke, the hornblende in which had a remarkably shining 
semi-metallic lustre ; it contains no mica, and is not magnetic. 
Still further, an immense fragment of rock having fallen, one 
of its surfaces was observed to be covered with broad lamine 
of a beautiful felspar of a very pearly lustre ; a light green mi- 
neral, supposed to be the green carbonate of copper, was as- 
sociated with it in small quantity. The latitude of Ance- 
aux-Femmes was made 480 22’ 26,”’ 
As observations for latitude were necessary to check our 
courses they were taken at noon whenever the weather would 
permit; at the commencement of the journey it was extre- 
mely unfavourable. 
The predominating rock between Ance-aux-Femmes and Cap 
aVEst, about six miles higher up the river, appears to be (for 
it was not touched) the same trap ; but syenite was also seen 
as usual with imbedded patches of the former, Having cros- 
sed the Sagueuay opposite to Cap & Est, we entered a small 
bay to which was given the name of Bear’s Cove 5 here gra- 
nite, gneiss and syenite were seen, but no trap, Coasting up
