waters and stillwaters separated by occasional bouldery rips of 
little fall, in a flat wooded country showing occasionally morainic 
knolls, down to Little Lake, a very pretty lake, connected with the 
river by a short stream of little fall. (Compare the map). Below 
this, for a mile, the river forms a series of long quiet pools, broken 
by occasional small rips, with a heavy border of over-hanging 
vegetation; a charming canoe stream. This is followed by shal- 
lows and rips, and some deadwaters, down to Musquash Brook, 
where the river bed becomes rougher and of greater fall ; the 
banks begin to rise in rocky ledges, and presently, at North Branch 
Falls, occurs a typical post-glacial low fall, or bad rapid, below | 
which the banks are still higher, rising to cliffs 50 to 80 feet high, ] 
and the valley is typically post-glacial. Below Hartt’s Island the 1 
banks become lower and the valley opens out, while the river flows * 
swiftly and roughly through an open country with much drop over 
a bed partly of boulders and partly of flat ledge rock, between ; 
banks mostly low but rising at times into morainic hills ; and this ! 
continues to Otter Brook. Just above this brook, on the same side ; 
of the Oromocto, in open burnt country, are two of the most per- i
