126 REPORT OF THE No. 3 



a 1| inch iron post on the west boundary at the line between concessions thr.ee 

 and four, marked on the east side "Bayly, Lot I.," on the north side "Con. 

 VI.," on the west side "Marter," and on the south side "Con. III." At 

 the northwest angle I found a 1| inch iron post marked on the northwest 

 "Catharine," on the southwest "Marter, Co. YI.," on the west "No. I." 

 I marked on the southeast "Bayly," on the south "Con. IV.," on the east 

 lot I at which point took an observation of polaris and ran the north bound- 

 ary east astronomically six miles, planting wooden posts at each mile, marked 

 in accordance with instructions, and a 1^ inch iron post with wooden post 

 between lots 6 and 7, both marked on the south "Bayly Con. VI.," on the 

 east "Lot 7," on the north "Skead," on the west "Lot 6." 



At the northeast angle of the township I planted a 1|- inch iron post 

 with a wooden post, both marked on the southwest "Bayly," on the south 

 "Con. VI.," on the southeast "Mulligan," on the east "No. 1," on the north- 

 east "Eattray," on the northwest "Skead." 



Iron posts one and one-quarter inches in diameter and three feet long 

 were also planted as follows : — One at the intersection of side lines 6 and 

 7 with the south boundary, marked "Bayly, Con. I." on the north side; "Lot 

 VI." on the west side, and "Lot VII." on the east side; one at the inter- 

 section of side line VI. and VII with concession line III and IV. marked 

 "Con. IV." on the north side, "Con. III." on the south, "Lot VI." on the 

 west, and "Lot 7" on the east side; one at the intersection of side line VI. 

 and VII. with the north boundary, marked "Con. VI." on the south side, 

 "Lot VI." on the west and "Lot VII." on the east side; one at the intersection 

 of concession line III. and IV. with the west boundary, marked on the north 

 side "Con. IV." on the south side "Con. III.," on the west "Marter," on 

 the east Bayly Lot I. One at the intersection of con. line III. and IV. with 

 the east boundary, marked on the north side "Con. IV.," on the south side 

 *^Con. III.," on the west "Bayly Lot XII." In all cases a wooden post was 

 planted alongside of the iron post and marked the same as the iron posts. 

 The other posts of the township are of wood and marked as shewn on the 

 field notes. 



The township of Bayly is generally rough and rocky, with a few small 

 tracts of good clay land along part of the south boundary and a few small 

 tracts of sandy loam soil along con. line V. and VI., and, on the whole, offers 

 little inducement for settlers for agricultural purposes. 



The township is well watered by numerous lakes and streams. 



The rock exposures are of Huronian formation, schist, slate and shale, 

 while occasional outcrops of granalite as distinguished from granite. I 

 found no valuable mineral. 



Game. 



I found moose in great numbers, but no trace of red deer or caribou. 

 Fish, pike and pickerel. 



I found no settlers but did find a few small clearings on the clay belt 

 along part of the south boundary. 



I have the honor to be, 

 Sir, 

 Your obedient servant, 



(Sgd.) Thos. Byrne, 



Ontario Land Surveyor. 

 The Honorable, 



The Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines, 

 Toronto.
