Lake are to a large extent rocky and the sample was taken from near the inter- 

 section of this lake by the tenth and eleventh concessions. There are no indica- 

 tions of any minerals, the rocks are igneous and chiefly a form of granite. 



Fish and Game. 



The large lakes and rivers abound with fish, chiefly pickerel and pike. The 

 game is plentiful, moose abound in these regions. There are few bear, no deer. 

 On the small lakes there are ducks in large numbers. 



Lakes and Rivers. 



Pivabiska Lake extends into the township through a narrows forming an 

 expansion known as Bennet's Bay. The shores of the lake are rocky, the land 

 rises anywhere from ten to fifteen feet around them. It is comparatively shallow, 

 averaging fifteen feet deep. There are quite a number of shallow places and shoals 

 of rocky boulders, which make it dangerous for navigation. 



The Mattawishkhwia River averages from two and a half to three chains 

 wide. The banks are not high and are earthy and soft. The river is shallow and 

 below the eighth concession to the east boundary of the township there are con- 

 siderable rapids which hinder navigation at low water though the fall at each 

 is not much. 



The river is navigable for good-sized canoes, heavily loaded, any place during 

 high water. 



The survey was completed on September 3rd, 1919, and the party proceeded 

 to the Township of Hanlan, adjoining on the west.
