"The entire river valley was filled in with sand into which Murray river has carved its way down to sea level. A grand view here of the Laurentides. At the N.E. horn of Murray Bay (Cape l'Aigle) on again sees five elevated beaches. The highest pronounced me looks as if of 400 feet, but once more or less for 2 miles. At St. Dismas again are to be seen five elevated terraces, up to about 400 feet. All sand. (132 mile E. of Quebec) At Tadousac may be seen more elevated beaches or deltas of sand, I could see none higher than 100 to 150 feet. In all places where there are streams entering the St. Lawrence there can seen the my best elevated beaches. Here also they occur at higher levels. But in none of the granites are cut beaches. In other words the Gulf waves have done no cutting. The beaches are due to the infilling of the sands brought in by the related streams."
