From 5 west, the dip is in the opposite direction, that is, 

 to the northwest, and gradually increases to 45 or 50 

 The steep dips of 6o° to 75 on the eastern limb of the 

 anticline are nowhere seen on the western limb. Along 

 the shore near 7, the nature of the formation at a distance 

 from the intrusive granite and the attitude of the beds are 

 exposed to advantage. 



From 8 to 9 the contact between the Coutchiching 

 and the Keewatin can be traced approximately. On the 

 left hand side the mica gneisses and schists, dipping from 

 25 to 45 towards the northwest, are well exposed. On 

 the right, the islands numbered 26, 25 and 22 consist of 

 typical Keewatin formations. 



From 9 through Bear's Passage to 13, another section 

 is made across the anticlinal axis of the Couchiching. 

 Generally speaking, the dips change from northwest to 

 southeast through an intermediate, approximately hori- 

 zontal attitude. The intrusive granite, which is exposed 

 in actual contact with the Coutchiching from 10 to 11 is 

 a disturbing factor in this section. Near its margin, the 

 mica gneisses and schists strike roughly parallel to the 

 contact, and in all cases dip away from the granite boss, 

 as if they had been arched over its surface at the time of 

 the intrusion. A gradual increase in the angle of dip is 

 observed from 12 to 13, until, at a maximum of about 

 70 to the south-east, the Coutchiching disappears under 

 the more massive rocks of the Keewatin. The actual 

 contact is not exposed here. 



From 13 to 14 a belt of Keewatin schist with a steep 

 southeasterly dip is crossed to another band of Coutchi- 

 ching, also dipping steeply to the south east. This 

 Keewatin belt is interpreted as the eroded remnant of an 

 appressed synclinal trough, overturned towards the 

 southeast, and pitching to the northeast. In this second 

 or Shelter Cove belt of Coutchiching, the series is repre- 

 sented by quartz slates rather than the metamorphic mica 

 schists. At 15 a good exposure of the Coutchiching in an 

 almost vertical attitude may be seen. Farther east, it 

 passes again under the Keewatin. 



The course now leads directly to Bear's Passage and 

 along the left hand shore from 16 in a northwesterly 

 direction. An almost continuous outcrop of Algoman 

 granite with large inclusions of mica schist follows the shore 

 to beyond 17, and may be observed in passing.
