In none of the cases of bay bars is there more than a very 
small amount of filling behind. 
Bay Ih7)'s: dajmning and strrafii deflection. — Complete 
damming- is effected only at the mouths of small brooks, chiefly 
those whose valleys before submergence began to widen near 
the present shore, and hence give only small bays. In other 
places, the indentation in the coast is not fed by any stream, 
and the bar merely makes a closed lagoon across the mouth 
of the embayment. Of the former, cases occur at Boisdale, 
south side of St. Andrew channel; on the side of Big harbor, 
almost opposite the last, on the north shore; Lochan Fad, 
south side of East bay ; Irish cove, five miles southwest of the 
last; Kelly cove, north side of Great Bras d'(Jr, near Carey 
point; northwest end of Piper cove, north side of same, near 
mouth of East bay; on the same shore, one mile west of cape 
Dauphin ; the lagoon behind Macdougal point, south side of 
East bay, already mentioned in another connection ; and Camp- 
bell pond, south side of West bay. In most of these the stream 
is small. Besides those mentioned, there are several times as 
many examples scattered along the shores. 
The streamless cases are for the most part minute, as all 
the other bays are fed by brooks of greater or less volume. 
One which is quite large, however, is found southwest of Mac- 
donald id., Whycocomagh bay. Others are Gillis pond, south 
of the mouth of Denys Basin, also large ; east of Militia point, 
northeast of West bay ; two unnamed lagoons on the north side 
of Great Bras d'Or, east of Carey point ; same shore, two miles 
west of Barra strait ; Neilborn cove. Little Bras d'Or, one 
mile east of Barra strait ; and McDonald pond, north side of 
East bay. 
Wi7ig£d beheadlands. — These forms are not well represent- 
ed in the lakes. A small case is to be found on the south 
side of Great Bras d'Or, a mile north of Campbell cove. It 
may be that Dhu point and the shore west of it, north side of 
East bay, can be considered as an example, and the bars out- 
side Lochan Fad and Lochmore on the south side of the 
same water. But Dhu point is very unsymmetrical ; and the 
last two have no headland between, but instead a slight embay- 
ment, so that the whole form resembles a gentle ox-bow. 
Bay-deltas. — Skye river and Roseburn brook, west end of
