St. Johns Bay has a large river and in the park has fills of the bottoms to about 250 ft. Splendid terraces maybe seen here. Terr are prominent, the lower one at 150 ft., the 3rd at 250 ft. On the stream valley one can see terraces up to about 400 ft. At the mouth of St. Marguerite river again are seen the terrace deltas. Here they again appear to go up to 1000 ft. The broad valley is all sand filled. Daguenay Rvr. Opposite St. Etienne bay occur badly directed terraces for here the sand is piled upon the granite higher than 400 ft. This sand occurs on the outer side of the Daguenay bend, see map in Backsthes. Finally at Tadrouzac facing the St. Lawrence occur the same elevated terraces of cleanly weathered angular sands of a lighter yellowish color. They are as high here as elsewhere. They thinly cover the granite and are now being washed away but off course slowly.
