Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on the Geology of a Portion of the Laurentian Area: Lying to the North of the Island of Montreal
In character and general aspect these rocks of the Hastings series are almost identical with many of those which in the Eastern Townships and in New Brunswick have been regarded as probably Huronian for many years; and so marked is the resemblance that the author, in presenting his summary report for 1894, referred the rocks seen near the Bristol iron mines to that division. It now appears very conclusively established that both in the eastern and western areas we have a well developed series of rocks, including limestones. Gneiss and schists, which are of undoubted sedimentary origin, but which have been enormously acted upon' by great intrusive masses as well as by other dynamic agencies, so that in many parts their original characters have almost entirely disappeared.
