PRIMARY ROCKS. 
557 
Granite is a very abundant rock in the region of country described. On the eastern shore 
of Lake Horicon or George, it is one of the most common rocks, and may be seen on almost 
any part of its coast. It is grey and red, the color depending on that of the felspar, and it is 
generally rather fine grained. On the canal, half to one mile south of Comstock’s landing, a 
mass of granite rock with red felspar may be seen ; it is here coarse grained.
