preglacial channel, the course of which was determined by borings, and is represented 

 on a map for a distance of about 200 miles, from Roche Capataine, in longitude 78° 

 nearly to Montreal.

Summary Rept. for 1901, pp. 170-83. 



Notes briefly marine deposits at Brockville, the probable Iroquois shore line near 

 Tamworth, and the occurrence of shell marl in many lakes in the area north of 

 Kingston.

pp. 59-6g, 1902. 



Discusses deposits in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, and 

 refers the deposition of marl to the action of air upon spring water containing bicar- 

 bonate of lime.

The stream valleys are largely excavated in gravel and calcareous detritus of 

 modern origin, and postglacial clays are also present. A few striae bearing north- 

 east-southwest were found at Rivifere Du Cap. The highest parts of the island carry 

 glacial bowlders. The island was apparently covered by the Champlain sea. The 

 uplift following the submergence is distinctly marked, and the two phases of it are 

 shown by systems of terraces. The present shore seems to be undergoing uplift, for 

 parts of its beach are not reached by high tide. Marl lakes are common on the 

 island. Soils are variable.

separate in 1899.) 



The glacial geology is discussed on pp. 34-47. Although the highest hills are gla- 

 ciated, there is little drift material except bowlders above 400 feet A. T. The ice move- 

 ment was radial toward the coast. The highest marine terrace noted is 405 feet. 

 Reference is made to a marine limit of 700 feet at Richmond Gulf in Hudson Bay, 

 of 300 feet at the south part of Ungava Bay, and of 325 feet at the mouth of Payne 

 River.
