13.5 m. St. Charles Junction — Alt. 293.5 ft. (89.5 



24.14 km. m.). Beyond St. Charles Junction, as the 



railway descends to the crossing of River Boyer, 



glimpses may be obtained of the summits of 



ridges to the southeast, appearing blue in the 



distance. The front of these ridges marks the 



position of the zone of faulting that traverses 



the Sillery area. 



23.4m. St. Valier Station — Alt. 156 ft. (47.5 m.). 



37 . 7 km. Approaching St. Francois, the high ridge that 



bounds the rolling, plain-like area traversed by 

 the railway, gradually approaches the railway 

 and increases in altitude. Near St. Frangois, the 

 red shales of the Sillery are displayed in a rail- 

 way cutting. 

 28.5 m. St. Francois Station — Attitude 134 ft. 



45.8 km. (40.8 m.). 



36.7 m. Montmagny Station — Alt. 55 ft. (16.8 m.). 



59 . 1 km. Just beyond Montmagny, the railway crosses 

 River du Sud and passes close to the St. Law- 

 rence shore. To the southeast, the country 

 rises rapidly for 3 to 4 miles, (5 to 6 . 5 km.) in a 

 succession of broken ridges to the borders of a 

 highland with a general elevation of 600 to 1000 

 feet (180 m. to 300 m.). 



59.1 m. St. Jean Port Joli Station — Alt. 176 ft. 



95.1 km. (53.6 m). The high ridges, which continue to 

 rise close to the southeast of the railway, are in 

 part underlain by the Kamouraska formation. 



66.1 m. Ste. Louise Station — Alt. 119ft. (36.3 m.). 



106.4 km. Beyond Ste. Louise station isolated, abruptly 



rising ridges of the Kamouraska formation occur 

 on the northwestern side of the railway. 



78 m. St. Pacome Station — Approaching St. 



125 km. Pacome, the sillery sandstones and shales are 

 exposed in rock cuttings. 



79.7 m. Riviere Ouelle — Alt. 48 ft. (14.6 m.).

94.8 m. Ste. Helene — Alt. 323 ft. (98.4 m.). From
