Montreal August Saturday 12th 1911. This morning on the top of Mount Royal one is impressed with the great plain on all sides of the Mount and in the far north with the Laurentide Plain. On it far the base one sees low mountainous residuals, on the south side of the river St Lawrence are other mountains with the trend of the Appalachian. A section to the north of Mount Royal for J. D. to D.E is something like this: Residuals Plain of the Laurentide. Granite Paleozoics. Plain of the St. Lawrence. Rivers. At several places up to Fourciville one sees to the north low terraces. I wonder if they are really such. Far in the distance one sees the Laurent- tian lines. Just before arriving at Three Rivers one sees a fine terrace, the bank of former lake in the St. Lawrence. The bottom is as flat as can be and covered with a fine sand that drifts in clumps where one cannot get vegetation.
