through a distance of a mile or more nortli-uortliwcstward. It Hes close 

 east of the terrace escarpment, and has an estimated elevation at its crest 

 of 1,055 feet. In township 7, range 8, this shore is marked by a conspicu- 

 ous beach ridge, ])assing through sections 22, 27, and the east edge of 33, 

 lying an eighth to a half of a mile west of the Boyne River, with its crest 

 about 1,055 to 1,060 feet above the sea. The descent from the crest is 10 

 to 15 feet on the east and 5 to 8 feet on the west. The lake at this stage, 

 or at a slightly higher level, also cut an escarpment 15 to 20 feet high, 

 with its top at 1,075 feet, approximately, which passes northwestward across 

 sections 28 and 29 of this township and northward through the east pai't 

 of sections (3 and 7, township 8, crossing the railway about 7 miles east of 

 Treherne. 



The lower Campbell beach, in its course northward from the interna- 

 tional boundary, lies close east of the terrace face whicli was the upper 

 Campbell shore. In sections 2 and 11, township 1, range 5, the elevation 

 of its crest is 1,036 to 1,040 feet. On the west a nearly level surface 

 extends an eighth of a mile to the terrace. On the east a slope of beach 

 gravel and sand sinks to 1,028 feet in about 25 rods; and a similarly 

 descending sm-face of till continues to 1,(»15 feet in the next 25 rods, 

 beyond which there is a nuudi slower descent eastward The road on the 

 line between townships 1 and 2, range 5, crosses this shore about three- 

 eighths of a mile west of the northeast corner of section 34, township 1, 

 where it is marked by a typical beach ridge, with its crest at 1,034 feet, 

 from which there is a descent of 10 feet in 10 rods to the east and 3 or 4 

 feet in 10 rods to the west. This ridge was seen to hold nearly the same 

 outline and height through a distance of 1 mile or more to the south and a 

 half mile north to a small creek. About a half mile west of Morden, where 

 it has been considerably excavated for plastering sand, it has a nearly flat 

 top 10 to 20 rods wide, with ascent on this width from 1,030 to 1,040 feet, 

 approximately, resting on the base of the terrace escarpment. Five to 6 

 miles farther nortli the road from Nelson to Miami runs along the top of 

 this beach through the north half of section 3 and tlit; southwest quarter 

 of section 10, township 4, range 6. It is there a broad, low ridge of sand 

 and gravel, 20 to 30 rods wide, the elevation of its crest being about 1,035
