Montreal July 22-1912 Monday.
Arrived at Montreal at 7.45 A.M. and
at 9 o'clock I'm on my way to Toronto.
Leaving Montreal on the Grand Trunk
we follow the Saint Lawrence and then
the shore of Lake Ontario.
From Montreal west across the Ottawa and
west for about 30 to 40 miles we pass over the
very flat country seen or shown to the south of
Montreal. The land is as flat as a table
and must have been under the glacial
lake that united Lake Ontario and Champlain.
Before we get to Thousand Islands and then
all the way to Kingston we pass through a
humpy county, the two humps being of Adirondack
Granite and the flats spaces in between being
deiled in with the former over of the Saint
Lawrence. It is the one of Cuth's Frontenac
Terrace.
From Kingston east we go below the late
terraces and everywhere there is evidence of
the former high levels of Lake Ontario.
