The belt of crystalline schist was found a cjuartcr of a mile 
wide. 
This range of slates was visited by N. H. Winchell, in iS8o. 
and he reported it as "underlying the quartzyte and gunflint

beds [Animike] apparently vmconformably. At least, it is an- 
other and distinct formation from the slates at Grand Portage."^ 
"The close proximity of this flint and jasper locality to the 
next great underlying formation (syenites and slates) makes it 
one of great interest to the geologist, but so far as scrutinized^ 
as yet, the true relations of the two formations are not revealed 
by anything here seen, [just east of the Narrows — see fig. i ] 
though there seems to be an unconformabillty between them."^ 
In the October (1S87) number of the American Journal of 
Science, appears the second part of a very important discussion 
from the pen of professor R. D. Irving, in which his figure 9 
presents a fundamental resemblance to my figure 2 ; but his in- 
terpretation of the facts is quite different from mine. Professor 
1 The vertical schists are here designated Kewatin because supposed to 
be included in the original "Keewatin" of Lawson. The spelling is simpli- 
fied; but if this term is to be adopted, it ought to be conformed to the es- 
tablished orthography of Chippewa terms. This is properly pronounced 
Ke-way'-tin — not Ke-wah-tin, and ought to be spelled Ke-vi^a-tin or Ki- 
we-tin. (See "Instruction for research relative to the etymology and
