Among the localities east and southeast of Montreal are :— 
Roxton, 50 miles (80-5 km.) east of Montreal, 552 feet 
(168-2 m.). 
A point 5 miles (8 km.) southwest of the last, 540 feet 
(164-6 m.). 
Granby, 40 miles (64-4 km.) east of Montreal, 516 + feet 
GES 7-2 ml.) 
Dunham, 45 miles (72-5 km.) southeast of Montreal and 
I2 miles (19-3 km.) north of the Vermont line, 509 
feet (155-2 m.). 
Mount St. Hilaire, an isolated island 20 miles (132-2 km.) 
east of Montreal, 560 + feet (170-7 m.). 
Nowhere southwest of Quebec has the highest beach 
been found above 600 feet (182-8 m.). 
An examination of the slopes of Mount Royal shows 
distinct gravelly beaches in several parts of the city up 
to 300 feet (91-4 m.) and various benches and cliffs on the 
‘steeper higher slopes of the mountain, especially in Mount 
Royal park. There is little if any reason for regarding 
these benches and cliffs as wave cut. They are discon- 
tinuous, not horizontal, cluttered with cliff debris or 
clay, not with wave-worn beach deposits, and in short 
are exactly the sort of benches which one might find at 
any level on these weathered, glaciated mountain sides. 
The only favourable place for rapid beach building on the 
mountain between 500 and 600 feet (152-4 and 182-8 m.) 
is around the park ranger’s house and at the back of the 
Protestant cemetery. Here light gravelly beaches do 
in fact occur. The ground is gently sloping and well 
covered with unconsolidated material. Near the rear 
gate of the cemetery, excavations along a cart road at 
600 feet (182-8 m.) show rough unwaterworn rubble and 
sand formed by the weathering of the eruptive rock. 
It is hard to see how this loose material ccu!d have been 
submerged without receiving at least a thin sheet of assorted 
sediment. Proceeding through the cemetery from this 
point down the gentle slope one comes within 100 yards 
(91-4 m.) to a low, yet fairly distinct ridge, the form of 
which is very much like that of a beach. This was being 
excavated for burial lots in June 1913, and its gravelly 
composition was then plainly exposed. It can be traced 
eastward for 150 yards (135 m.) or more through the 
cemetery, although it has suffered somewhat from artificial 
grading. It seems to be the highest place where gravels
