In the Township of Monteagle, Cons. I and II, lots 

 2, 3 and 4 are other outcrops of dungannonite very similar 

 in composition to those already described as occurring in 

 the township of Dungannon. The exposures are in the 

 form of a comparatively narrow ridge or ridges, for the 

 continuity of the ridge is broken at one point by a ravine 

 which is traceable for a little over half a mile. The rock 

 is very distinctly foliated and often schistose, bands of 

 light and dark grey alternating with one another. Most 

 of the exposed surfaces show crystals and aggregates of 

 corundum in strong relief, this mineral having resisted 

 weathering processes better than the other constituents 

 of the rock. Near the southern end of the ridge a dyke a 

 few feet wide crosses this gneissic syenite. It is composed 

 of large individuals of nepheline and muscovite and small 

 patches of blue sodalite.

kilometers. Norway Bay — Alt. 948 ft. (289 m.) — is a 

 422-77 m. small bay-like expansion on the west side of the 

 680-4 km. river. 



Papineau creek — Alt. 947 ft. (288 -7m.) — 

 424-52 m. enters the river from the north-west. 

 683-2 km. Foster's rapids, — Alt. 946 ft. (288-4 m -) — 

 426-77 m.have a fall of about six feet (1-82 m.), where 

 686-7 km. a portage of nearly a quarter of a mile on the 

 north side of the river, is often necessary, 

 especially during low water, To the north of 

 the clearing on this portage very basic nepheline 

 rocks occur, while boulders of nepheline syenite 

 occur in the clearing. Between Foster's rapids 

 and Conroy's rapids, the stream is in places shal- 

 low and rapid owing to an accumulation of 

 boulders. 

 429-02 m. Conroy's rapids, — Alt. 936 ft. (285-3 m.) 

 690-4 km. with a fall of three feet ("91m.) are in front of 

 the old farm known as Campbell's farm. A 

 short distance below these rapids the river 

 widens and flows through a great swamp often 

 known as "Campbell's marsh."
