1. There (in the iron region) is no other rock to which it 

 can be referred^ biit, since sandstone occurs liere in the imme- 

 diate vicinity of the lake shore, the presence of red drift to the 

 south affords additionai evidence that not only the boulders, but 

 the drift-sand and clay, have been transported from north to 

 south. Eeport Part I. pag, 205. 



9. I feel no hesitation in affirming, that most of the bonl- 

 ders within the region of Lake Superior have been transported 

 fl'om north to south. Report Part I, pag. 191.
