 following journeys at my own personal expense. In the spring I 

 travelled down the St. Lawrence from Lake Ontario to the mouth 

 of the Saguenay and up that majestic river to the head of tide- 

 water, and into that primitive portion of the province of Quebec. 

 In the early autumn I continued my studies of the geography and 

 geology of the White Mountains and the Catskills, and visited the 

 various lakes of our own State from Lake George to Chautauqua.
