At each tflrn made by these lines except the las three which run thru 
a wet terrain, the river' receives a brook of more or less importance. Its 
sources lie on a plateau about 3 or 4 mi south of the Notre Dame Mts. which! 
is a nuch lower terrain and constitutes the divide between the St. Lawrence 
River and the Bale dec Chalem , a space of terrain which extends east and 
west much beyond the A tte which comprises only 12 - 14 mi. The waters of 
these sources are brought to the entrance of a deop ravine or gorge of the 
mountain by 3 principal streams which meet at this point, two of which 
follow/ the same line, but in opposite directions, are in the direction of 
the stratification and mark the- edge of the “otre Dame formation while the 
third makes a partial section almost at right angles whifch the others thru 
the strata which rest on these rocks in a southerly direction. 
The whole area which the Chatte drains does not exceed perhaps 300 sq . 
mi. About half of this area lies south of the large mountains or between 
them. They send the tribute of their waters principally by two deep longi¬ 
tudinal valleys, directly opposite each other' in the direction of the chain 
which extends each side of the gorge for about 6 mi, and which discharging 
there are terminated by two high summits at their extremities, and 13 mi 
apart in a straight line while several transverse valleys come to their 
aid in making ravines and fashioning the mt. mass into a considerable 
number of small mountains or secondary mountain chains (eontreforts) less 
high but important.
