 brook and Kingston ; but for the purpose of more fully illustrating the 

 report of 18*70-71, the portion then described as Laurentian is indicated 

 by a different color on the map. The results of the subsequent exam- 

 inations of the rocks of this group, principally in 1876-77-78, when the 

 extent and stratigraphical relations of the various members were 

 carefully studied and defined, have been stated in the report of 1877-78. 

 The different divisions were then found to be in ascending order.
