NATURAL HISTORY, TORONTO REGION 
Toronto. For details in regard to them the special 
guide books prepared for the purpose should be con- 
sulted. Here it will merely be necessary to outline 
the possibilities. 
One may visit several geologically interesting 
localities in Toronto or its vicinity by street-car com- 
bined with short walks, as follows: 
The Don Valley Brickyard, showing Lorraine 
shales and glacial and interglacial beds with many 
fossils, may be reached by taking a Church Street 
car to Rosedale, and walking a mile, first north along 
Glen Road, then east on Binscarth Road, where a 
path leads down to the Don Valley and the brick- 
yard. 
The Sand and Gravel Pit on Shaw Street, 
showing crossbedded river deposits of interglacial age 
with mammoth, etc., may be reached by taking a 
Bloor car northwest to that street. A few minutes’ 
walk to the north brings one to the pit, which is on 
the west side of the street. 
Toronto Island, showing a modern sand and 
gravel bar built of materials transported from Scar- 
borough Heights to the east, may be reached by tak- 
ing a Yonge Street car to the waterfront on Toronto 
Bay. Ferries ply to the island a block to the west 
of Yonge Street. 
Scarborough Heights, showing the finest Pleisto- 
cene section in Canada, including 355 feet of glacial 
and interglacial beds, may be visited in two ways: 
first, by taking a King Street car as far east as pos-
