1,229 feet; Milpagos, two readings, 1,272 feet; Gulquac, three readings, 
1,331 feet (a remarkable agreement with my calculation) ; Long, five readings, 
1,243 feet. The remainder of his measurements run much lower than mine. 
Nalaisk Mountain, 2,529 feet. (See next note). 
It will be observed that my measurements of all altitudes measured 
by Mr. Mclnnes differ from his by a little over 100 feet, mine being 
that much lower. This discrepancy I am entirely unable to explain.* 
I have, however, made so many measurements, and checked them so 
carefully by synchronous readings at Fredericton, and they are, as a 
whole (with the single exception of Adder Lake above), so consistent, 
that I have confidence in their essential correctness. 
Lake Depths . — The depths of the various lakes as found by our 
soundings are shown upon the accompanying map. Some of them, 
such as Milpagos, are very shallow. The greatest depth we found was 
near the middle of Long Lake, 117 feet. Although this depth is not 
very considerable, it is the greatest yet recorded for any lake in New 
Brunswick.! Of course the lakes are shallowest near their upper 
ends ^here streams enter. 
Facts of Interest about Particular Places . — The source of the Right 
Hand Branch of Tobique River is at the head of the middle of the 
three tiny brooks flowing into the upper end of Furbish Pond. This 
pond is. small and shallow, fringed with bog and is a great haunt of 
moose. Trout Lake is an isosceles triangle, with the stream flowing 
from the middle of its base, so, if a more distinctive name were needed, 
it might well be called Triangle Lake. Its shores are entirely com- 
posed of small flat boulders of a crystalline shistose rock weathering 
very white, unlike any other we noticed on our trip. Indian Lake is 
very beautiful with its high-wooded shores, while Merithews Lake is 
a gem. Oval in shape, with mostly rocky shores, and with high hills 
on the immediate west, it is one of the prettiest smaller lakes of the 
province. Grays Lake is much like Milpagos. Milpagos is a very 
shallow lake, broken into many arms, and with reeds and other water 
plants growing all over it. It is a great haunt of moose. Gulquac 
Lake is one of the prettiest of the entire group, made so by its hills 
and ridges, of which a particularly fine one is on the west. Its level 
* Mr. Mclnnes writes me that he made about thirty aneroid readings at the times of the 
Fredericton readings, by which they were afterwards checked. 
t Mr J. W. Bailey tells me, however, that he has obtained 165 feet in Glazier Lake, on 
the St. Francis, near the New Brunswick side.
