of Maciver id., a mile'from the last, also compound; and many 
islands in West bay, Inhabitants Basin, and Lennox Passage. 
Uncompleted tombolos. —There are very few of these, as 
most islands have passed this stage. Wilson id.. Great Bras 
d'Or near the mouth of East bay, has two cases. Others are 
Pringle id., south side of West bay; and a few of¥ the mouth 
of Denys Basin. 
Completed tombolos: single. — Of connecting bars there 
are great numbers, these and the bay bars perhaps constituting 
the majority of the forelands. They are at all stages and in 
various positions — connecting island with shore and island 
with island, and single, double and complex. 
Single bars connecting islands with the mainland are seen 
in abundance at Denys Basin and West bay — as Macleod 
point, Morison head, George id., the head of Pellier harbor, 
and northwest of Malagawatchkt point in the latter ; and west 
of Plaster cove in the former. Others are Double head, Len- 
nox Passage ; southeast of Jane point, St. Peters bay ; Christ- 
rhas id., west end of Little Bras d'Or; and Macphee id.. East 
bay — a very crooked and complex case, in which three islands 
are tied to each other chainwise, and one of them to the main- 
land. 
Connecting islands together are Indian id. and its south 
hook, Whycocomagh bay; the two parts of Cameron id., West 
bay, and of Indian head, Lennox Passage. 
Completed tombolos: double. — Connecting islands with 
the mainland are Maciver id., west end of St. Patrick channel ; 
and cape Round, Lennox Passage — one of the best, because of 
the divergence of the bars. The case is really a Y tombolo, 
because the bars meet at the back of the island. 
Lagoo7i marsJies. — Many cusps, especially small ones, have 
marshes behind them ; but the large cases all show open water, 
occasionally wdth a little marshing in the corners. 
Bay bars: across month. — The bay bars are innumerable, 
but most of the examples are small. Many illustrate stream 
deflection or complete damming up of the bay, the water es- 
caping through the sand. 
Cases with no deflection or damming are on the north side 
of Great Bras d'Or, nearly south of Benacadie point and a 
mile east of Campbell cove, two unnamed bays, both with bars
