posts six inches square were planted at the end of each mile with the number of 

 miles said posts are distant west of the south-east or north-east angle of the adjacent

 square and similarly marked with the half-mile points, were aUso planted. 



Going south along the west boundary of the Township of Connaught, the line 

 passes over an undulating sandy country timbered with Banksian pine, spruce, 

 white biroh, poplar, balsam, cedar, alder and willow. Considerable good red and 

 white pine running up to 24 inches in diameter is seen between the fifth and sixth 

 miles along the east side of Mattagami Lake. 



Along the west boundary of the Township of Miramichi the country is of 

 much the same general character and getting a little more rocky towards the south. 

 A ridge of good red pine up to thirty inches in diameter is seen on this line between 

 tihe third and fourth miles. 



Along the west boundary of the Township of Garibaldi the country is of a 

 more rocky nature — the timber being chiefly Banksian pine, spruce, dead tamarac, 

 balsam, birch, cedar, alder and willow. No valuable pine is seen along this line, 

 considerable windfall being encountered along the first mile. 



Going east along the north boundary of the Township of Miramichi the line 

 passes through a rocky broken country as far as Napawquazi Lake, where it becomes 

 low and swampy and contiues of this general character up to the third mile, from 

 which point to the north-east angle of the township the country is of a more sandy 

 character, the line passing through some excellent white pine running up to twenty- 

 four inches in diameter. 



Going east along the north boundary of the Township of Garibaldi, the country 

 is comparatively level or gently undulating, the timber being chiefly Banksian 

 pine, birc'h, spruce and balsam up to fourteen inches in diameter. There is along 

 this line a stretch of very nearly four miles absolutely destitute of water. 



Going east along the south boundary of the Township of Garibaldi to the 

 Opikinimika Eiver the country is rolling and rocky, the timber being chiefly 

 Banksian pine, spruce, birch and balsam, up to twelve and fourteen inches in

Along the north boundary of Brunsvrick Township the country is very similar 

 in character, but along the first and second miles of this line considerable white 

 pine up to thirty inches in diameter is seen. 



On the north boundary of Londonderry Township, no valuable timber is met 

 with, the prevailing varieties being Banksian pine, spruce, white birch, poplar and 

 balsam averaging from eight to twelve inches in diameter. 



Along the northern limit of the Township of Garvey the country is of a similar 

 character, no valuable timber being seen. 



Going east along the south boundary of the Township of Garvey, the country 

 for the first two miles is much the same as that already described; at this point, 

 however, good white pine up to twenty and twenty- five inches in diameter is entered 

 and continues to Donnegana Lake in the south-west angle of the township. The 

 west boundaries of the Townships of Garvey, Londonderry, Brunswick, Togo and 

 Miattagami comprising thirty miles, may be described as rough and rocky, the pre-
