Note Avell- X)rcscrved angular outlines. rock surfaces exhiljit signs of intense glaciation, the nortli and cast faces beinggenerally rounded, while cliffs are sometimes found facing the west and south.The direction of the ridges corresponds generally to the strike of the gneiss.The direction of the glacial movement was observed in one case to form an angleof 60° with the strike (strike 120°; glacial striaa 60°), but they are in generalmore nearly parallel, since the average of strikes noted is 82.5° and the averagedirection of glacial movement 64°. Hence the ridges are glaciated fairly parallel 12. M. PART r. 160 Department of Mines No. 4

Very little till and no continuous till-sheets were observed; the tops of thehills are in general strewn with boulders often of large size, but little finer materialis to be seen, though in some places the lower parts of the hillsides and the bottomsof the valleys are covered with earth, which may have been washed down from thehilltops. The morainic ridge which lies in a N.W. to S.E. direction between Peatand Moose lakes, is about half a mile in length and 50 feet above Moose lake at itshighest point. It is largely composed o
