the fisheries are briefly treated. Near Cape Wolstenholme patches of perpetual 

 snow were discovered. Three sets of stri^^ were noted in the Labrador peninsula, 

 which are interpreted to indicate a transference of the center of glaciation north- 

 ward, it being at an early time between the ^o'Cci and 51st parallels near the 

 center of the peninsula, at a later time north of the 54th parallel, and still later 

 between the 55th and 56th parallels and only about 100 miles inland from the east 

 coast of Hudson Bay. 



South of Hudson Bay two sets of striae were noted, the older set running from 

 northwest to southeast, thought to be the product of the Keewatin ice-field, and a later 

 set from north-northeast to south-southwest, referable to the Labrador ice-field. A 

 long list of striae observed east and south of Hudson Bay is presented. 



Subsidence of land accompanied, and perhaps continued subsequent to, the ice 

 accumulation, and this was followed by an uplift which has carried the old marine 

 shores to a maximum height of nearly 700 feet above the present sea-level. The 

 limits, however, appear to be much lower in the northern part of the peninsula. (See 

 preceding paper.)

The route described leads from the plains east of the Rockv Mountains west- 

 ward over the front range of mountains. The physiography and the general character 

 and extent of the several formations including the Pleistocene are briefly discussed. 

 Glaciers were noted in the Selwyn Range on mountains 8,000 to 9,000 feet in height, and 

 west from there on mountains that reach 1 1,000 feet. The drift deposits are heavy near 

 Lake St. Anne, with bowlders of Laurentian granite and fossiliferous Devonian lime- 

 stone brought from the north and northeast. The limits of eastern drift are placed 

 about a mile west of Wolf Creek. Farther west the bowlders are from the Rocky 

 Mountains. A glacier apparently flowed northward down the Athabaska valley. The 

 highest mountains show no stricC, and their sharp angular appearance is thought to 

 indicate that they have not been glaciated. However, a mountain 8,000 feet high, 

 situated eight miles east-southeast from Tete Jaune Cache, was glaciated; the striae 

 bear south 25° west.

Several lakes were mapped, and the location of the headwaters of several rivers 

 flowing to Lake Superior were determined. The explorations were carried through 

 considerable territory hitherto unexplored.
