erly marked, at each intersection. These sections I further sub-divided by- 

 planting half-mile wooden posts between the intersections along all the con- 

 cession lines. 



I planted an iron post one and one-quarter inches in diameter on the 

 side line between lots six and seven at its intersection with the north and 

 south boundaries and the third concession line and also an iron post of the 

 same size at the intersection of the third concession line with the east and 

 west boundaries. 



I planted an iron post one and seven-eighths inches in diameter at the 

 southwest and northwest angles of the township of Kingsmill. 



In addition to the regular wooden posts I planted on the south boundary 

 between lots six and seven a one and one-quarter inch iron post marked on 

 the east side, "VI.," on the north side "Con. I.," and on the west side 

 "VII." 



On the line between lots six and seven at its intersection with the third 

 concession line, a one and one-quarter inch iron post marked on the south 

 side "Con. III.," on the east side "VI.," on the north side "Con. IV.," 

 and on the west side "VII." 



On the north boundary between lots six and seven a one and one-quarter 

 inch iron post marked on the south side "Con. VI.," on the east side "VI.," 

 and on the west side "VII." 



On the east boundary between concessions three and four a one and 

 one-quarter inch iron post marked on the south side "Con. III.," on the 

 north side "Con. IV.," and on the west side "I." 



On the west boundary between concessions three and four a one and one- 

 quarter inch iron post marked on the south side "Con. III.," on the east 

 side "XII.," aifd on the north side "Con.IV." 



At the southwest angle of the township a one and seven-eighths inch 

 iron post marked on the east side "XII." on the northeast side "Kingsmill" 

 on the north side "Con. 1." 



At the northwest angle of the township a one and seven-eighths inch 

 iron post marked on the south side "Con. VI.," on the southeast side "Kings- 

 mill," and on the east side "XII." 



I found the land level for the most part, particularly the southem^por- 

 tion becoming slightly rolling towards the north boundary. 



The soil of the north and eastern portions is principally clay of good 

 quality, while in the southwest it is inclined to be sandy, particularly in 

 the first and second concessions west of lot seven. A few ridges of very slight 

 elevation were found in the township. These ridges are as a rule not so 

 thickly wooded as the other lands and as a result are generally covered with 

 a variety of berries, especially raspberries of large size and fine quality, 

 which I found in great abundance. 



The whole township is covered with spruce of varying sizes up to four- 

 teen inches in diameter. A few much larger trees are found along the 

 White Cariboo Head River. 



The ridges are timbered with poplar and balm of gilead of large size 

 with spruce, birch and balsam intermingled. 



I found no real muskeg in this township, although there are some areas 

 of very deep moss with small open spruce, particularly on lot nine, conces- 

 sions one and two and lot five, concessions four and five. 



I found no lakes in the township and only one stream of any size, viz., 

 The White Cariboo Head River, which enters the township on lot five and 

 leaves it on lot two. The depth of this river at the time of the survey was 



6 L.M.
