Kiiomefrts ^• t a distance of I 1-2 miles (2-4 km.) east 



of Windsor, the railway approaches the south 

 bank of the St. Croix which flows westward 

 to join the Avon at Windsor. From this point 

 the railway for some distance closely follows 

 the river and passes through several rock-cuts 

 in gypsum. A short distance farther, the 

 railway crosses to the north side of the St. 

 Croix and follows up the valley of Hebert river, 

 a small tributary of the St. Croix. The railway 

 passes through a rock cutting in gypsum, and 

 gypsum and limestone are exposed on the south 

 bank of Hebert river. 

 6-3 m. Brooklyn Station.- — Alt. 33 ft. (10 m.). 



14-5 km. The railway follows Hebert river for 1 1-2 

 miles past Brooklyn and there turns to the 

 north, crosses a low ridge (altitude 160 ft. or 

 49-8 m.) and descends to the valley of Kennet- 

 cook river. The country is gently rolling with 

 relatively wide valleys. 



12- 1 m. Mosherville Station. — Alt. 39 ft. (11-9 m.). 



19 • 5 km. The railway from Mosherville eastwards, ascends 

 the wide, shallow valley of Kennetcook river 

 which flows westward to join the Avon. The 

 country is quite level and for a number of 

 miles to the northward is boggy. As the river 

 valley is followed eastward, it gradually narrows. 



18-7 m. Clarksville Station. — Alt. 70 ft. (21 m.). 



30-1 km. About 2 miles (3-2 km.) beyond Clarksville 

 the railway crosses the Kennetcook (altitude 

 62 ft. or 18-9 m.). At this point the southern 

 boundary of the area underlain by the Windsor 

 series is about 2 miles (3-2 km.) south of the 

 railway. To the south of the boundary lie 

 so-called Devonian strata bordering a ridge 

 of the Goldbearing series which terminates 

 a few miles to the east. The "Devonian" 

 strata encircle this ridge in anticlinal fashion 

 and on the southern side of the ridge of the 

 Pre-Cambrian Goldbearing series, are bordered 

 by a wide area of the Windsor series. The 

 ' Devonian" measures consist in part of sand- 

 stones and shales carrying, in places, thin 

 coal seams. The "Devonian" strata appear
