 hunters were seen at different times during the survey within the subdivision.

Tow^NSHip Outlines in the Vicinity or Night Hawk Lake, in the 

 Districts of Sudbury and Nipissing. 



Peterborough, Ont., November 25th, 1908. 



Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report on the survey of 

 certain township outlines in the vicinity of Night Hawk Lake in the Dis- 

 tricts of Sudbury and Nipissing, surveyed by me under instructions from 

 your Department dated August 5th, 1908. 



As instructed I commenced the survey at the southwest angle of the 

 township of Whitney, and after getting the necessary observations at this 

 point, I ran the west boundary of the township of Shaw due south astro- 

 nomically six miles planting durable posts at the end of each mile, marking 

 them as instructed. At the end of the sixth mile I procured another observa- 

 tion for azimuth and from this point ran due east astronomically, five miles, 

 seventy-nine chains and sixty-two links, where I intersected the line between 

 the Districts of Sudbury and Nipissing at a point sixty-nine links north of 

 the one hundred and fourteen mile post. 



The west and south boundaries of the township of Shaw pass over a 

 rolling country timbered with spruce, birch, cedar, and balsam of average 

 size and quality. Considerable windfall and alder are also met with and 

 although there are some fair flats of land along these lines, for the greater 

 part of the country it is rough and rocky and as a general rule underlaid 

 with drift boulders. 



From what I have seen of the township of Shaw I would consider it 

 entirely unfit for settlement. 



After completing the above work, I preceded to the one hundred and 

 eight mile post on the line between the Districts of Sudbury and Nipissing, 

 and after having taken the necessary observations at this point, I ran east 

 astronomically on six mile chords, the line which marks the southerly limit 

 of the townships of Lan,gmuir, Blackstock and part of Timmins, planting 

 durable posts at the end of each mile marked as per instructions. 



At twelve miles, five chains and fifty-two links I intersected 0. L. S. 

 Galbraith's meridian line at a point twenty links south of his six mile posts, 

 and at a point three miles, forty-one chains and forty links east of O. L. S. 

 Galbraith's meridian the line terminates at a small lake which forms part of
