sible, turning south to the beach and walking east 

 along the foot of the cliffs; or, second, by taking a 

 King Street car to the Woodbine, and then a sub- 

 urban car on Kingston Road to Stop 32. A lane 

 leads two-thirds of a mile south to the cliffs. 



Lambton Mills, to the northwest of Toronto, may 

 be reached by taking a Dundas Street car to West 

 Toronto and then a suburban car to Lambton Mills. 

 An old gravel bar, belonging to the Iroquois beach, 

 runs westwards almost to the Humber. South of 

 Lambton Mills along the Humber River there are 

 good exposures of Lorraine shale, and also for two 

 miles up stream on the west side. 



Excursions out of town may be made by C. P. R. 

 northwards to Forks of the Credit, where there is an 

 excellent Silurian and Ordovician section on the 

 escarpment ; and to Longford and Washago, or Parry 

 Sound; or by G. T. R., C. P. R. or C. N. R. to 

 Muskoka, where Archaean rocks are displayed. 



One can go by rail or steamer to Hamilton, forty 

 miles west of Toronto, where the Iroquois beach is 

 'finely displayed, and the escarpment exposes a Silur- 

 iian section; and one can go east by C. N. R. or 



G-. T. R. along the old Iroquois shore, with the hills 



:>f an interlobate moraine rising to the north. 



One can cross Lake Ontario to the Niagara River 



ind go by electric railway to the Niagara Gorge and 



Falls. 



For details in regard to these excursions one is 



eferred to the special guide books.
