Falls, and along the Niagara River between these and Queenston ; 
also on the Welland Canal near Thorold; in the vicinities of Hamil- 
ton, Ancaster, Dundas, and Rockwood; at Belfontaine on the River 
Credit in the ‘Township of Caledon; at various points in Mono, 
Mulmur, Nottawasaga, Artemisia, and Euphrasia Townships, where 
it forms high cliffs, more especially at the Nottawa and Beaver Rivers ; 
Owen Sound and neighbourhood ; Cape Paulet on Georgian Bay, and 
along the coast to Cape Chm; and likewise at Cabot’s Head. At this 
latter locality, the lower part of the cliff, to a height of about 180 
feet, consists of the Clinton subdivision—the Niagara beds resting 
upon this up to the summit of the promontory. 
The annexed figure exhibits the Niagara and underlying strata as 
occurring in the gorge of the Niagara River between the Falls (F) 
and Queenston (Q). The dip of the beds, however, is unavoidably 
somewhat exaggerated.

Niagara River, between the Falls and Queenston.

In the accompanying sketch, fig. 224, a section of the rocks across 
the Falls is shewn, with Goat Island (@) in the centre. No. 5, as in 
the preceding sketch, indicates the Niagara shales; No. 6, the thick 
bedded limestone ; and d the Drift and Post-tertiary deposits. 4 de- 
notes the American side, and C the Canadian shore. The Post-terti- 
ary accumulations will be alluded to more fully in our description of
