of a long fiord and this inland locality is not well adapted 

 for the use of the main criterion of maximnm emergence ; 

 the suggestion of uplift was found in the existence of well- 

 defined, 70-foot benches of bedded, tenacious clays over- 

 lain by sand — apparently deposited in the fiord waters. 

 No fossils were discovered, however, and the figure given 

 for Shoal Harbor remains doubtful.

Between Bonne Bay and the Strait of Belle Isle, a 

 distance of 140 miles, the Ne^vfoundland coast shows 

 throughout abundant evidence of emergence, to the extent 

 of at least 200 feet, and the uplift probably ranges between 

 300 and 450 feet. However, actual measurements of total 

 uplift can there be made only at points several miles 

 inland, where the land first becomes high enough. On 

 account of the dense forest and lack of roads, this long 

 stretch could not be properly studied in the available time. 

 Similarly, time was lacking for the filling of the gaps 

 between Bonavista and T^villingate and between Twillin- 

 gate and Cape Eouge. 



The general result is fairlv definite. The zero isobase
