Seymour, where Crow river falls into the Trent. The total lake surface 

 of the basin is 16,150 acres. 



Two streams flow into Stony lake, namely, Jack creek, with a basin 

 containing 46,900 acres, and Eels brook, with a basin containing 66,700 

 acres. The former is practically confined to the townships of Bur- 

 leigh and Methuen, while the latter has a long narrow valley extending 

 to southern Cardiff and Monmouth townships. The principal bodies 

 of water in these two basins are Jack lake in northwestern Methuen 

 and Eels lake, and the Monmouth lakes in the adjoining portions of 

 Anstruther, Cardiff and Monmouth. The lakes in the two basins 

 have an area of 6,900 acres. 



Between Burleigh Falls and Hall Bridge, the canal receives the 

 waters of Deer Bay creek and the Mississauga river. The former 

 drains an area of 48,000 acres, and the latter an area of 99,900 acres. 

 The Deer Bay Creek basin contains some twenty small lakes, mostly in 

 the township of Burleigh, having a surface area of 2,550 acres, while 

 the Mississauga has its storage basins in the Katchacoma-Mississauga- 

 Gold-Eagle lake series in southern Cavendish and Anstruther, the total 

 area of the lakes in its valley being 7,000 acres. Between Hall Bridge 

 and Fenelon Falls, the canal has several small feeders, the more im- 

 portant being Squaw river and Harvey brook. The combined area of 

 these drainage basins is 81,500 acres. With the exception of Swamp 

 lake in Galway and Salmon lake in Cavendish, they do not contain lakes 

 of considerable size. The lakes of the two basins cover 2,000 acres. 



The Burnt River drainage basin is the second largest in size within 

 the area, and contains 371,300 acres. The largest confluent of Burnt 

 river, Irondale river, meets the main stream in the southwestern 

 comer of Snowdon. It has its headwaters in Farquart lake in the 

 township of Harcourt, and flows in a southwesterly direction through 

 Monmouth, Glamorgan, and Snowdon. The main stream, commenc- 

 ing as the Haliburton river out of Drag lake in the township of Dudley, 

 flows through the Kashogawigamog-Canning lake series in Dysart and 

 Minden. The basin contains about 30 lakes of considerable size and 

 they have an aggregate surface of nearly 23,000 acres. 



Gull river, which flows into Balsam lake, drains an area of 324,200 

 acres, constituting the third largest drainage basin within the territory 

 included by this report. The headwaters are formed by a network of 

 lakes in Stanhope, Guilford, Havelock, and Sherborne townships. 

 The basin as a whole contains 80 or more lakes. Three of the lakes, 

 Redstone in Guilford, Kennjsis in Havelock, and Gull lake in Lutter- 

 worth township have a combined surface area of 8,700 acres. The total 

 lake surface in the basin is 40,900 acres. 



Smaller basins not specifically mentioned have a total area of 

 127,400 acres.
