4 At the intersection of base line with third meridian marked "VI. M" 

 on the east side, "E" on the southeast, "F" on the northeast, "I" on the 

 southwest, and "J'* on the northwest. c^ c^ i > £ 



5 At the intersection of my base line with 0. L. S. Salter s fourth 

 meridian run in 1857, marked "VM. M + 57.63" on the east side, ''I" on the 

 southeast, "J" on the northeast, "M" on the southwest and *'N" on the 

 northwest. 



6. At the intersection of my base line with the second meridian market! 

 "YI. M + 7.05" on the east side, "M" on the southeast, "N" on the northeast, 

 "R" on the northwest and "Q" on the southwest. 



7. At the intersection of my base line with the first meridian marked 

 *'YI. M" on the east side, "Q" on the southeast, "R" on the northeast, "V" 

 on the northwest and "U'-' on the southwest. 



8. At the end of my base line marked "VI. M + 62.00" on the east side, 

 "V" on the southeast and "U" on the northeast. 



9. At the intersection of my fourth meridian with 0. L. S. Patten's 

 base line of 1891, marked "VI M + 40.00" on the north side, "A" on the 

 northeast, "E" on the northwest. 



10. At 0. L. S. Niven's base line was found an iron and wooden post 

 marked "XII. M" on the east side, on which I marked on the south side 

 "VM + 61.27," "B" on the southeast, "F" on the southwest. 



11. At the intersection of mv third meridian with 0. L. S. Niven's base 

 line marked "VM + 56.00" on the south side, "F" on the southeast and 

 "J" on the southwest. 



12. At the intersection of my third meridian with 0. L. S. Patten's 

 base line of 1891, marked "VIM + 47.46" on the north side, "E" on the 

 northeast and "I" on the north-^est. 



13. At the intersection of my second meridian with 0. L. S. Niven's 

 base line of 1901, marked "VM + 61.88" on the south side, "N" on the 

 southeast, and "R" on the southwest. 



14. Near the intersection of my second meridian with 0. L. S. Bell's 

 base line of 1888 (no trace of which was to be found) marked "VIM + 40.00" 

 on the north side, "M" on the northeast and "Q" on the northwest. 



15. At the intersection of my first meridian with 0. L. S. Niven's base 

 line of 1901, marked "VM + 64.90" on south side, "R" on the southeast 

 and "V" on the southwest. 



16. At the intersection of my first meridian with 0. L. S. Bell's base 

 line of 1888, marked "VIM + 48.61" on the north side, "Q" on the north- 

 east, and "U" on the northwest. 



Where the end of a mile icame in a lake or river, the posts were planted 

 on the nearest bank and chainage marked thereon with a knife. Bearing 

 trees were marked and noted at a convenient distance for every post planted. 

 All lines were run with transit and were well opened out and blazed. Obser- 

 vations on Polaris at Eastern Elongation for azimuth were taken frequently 

 throughout the survey. The magnetic variation was found to be fairly con- 

 stant at five degrees twenty minutes west. At a point on the first meridian 

 about "VM + 60.00" south of the base line a deflection of eighteen degrees 

 was noted, the country being very rocky and mountainous in the vicinity. 



General Description. 



The first twelve miles or so of base line passed through rough, rocky, 

 mountainous country, with large areas of bare rock, apparently burned over 

 thirty-five to forty years ago, and grown up with white birch, poplar, balsam
