" Its whole extent, from north to south, is about forty miles, and varies in width from cne to eight miles, and very irregular in shape, owing to its deep coves, bays, and islands, which in some parts almost fill the lalce. Many of these islands are mere ledges of slate, covered with a scanty growth of cedar and fir, rising perpendicularly from ,;he surface of the water, which fall suddenly to a great depth by their sides. Others are large islands of many acres, well wooded, and bordered by beach- es of sand, as well as by ledges of rock. On the eastern side, a few miles from the foot of the lake, rises a high rocky point, called Burned Jacket. It is composed of gneiss, curiously crossed in every direction by veins of quartz. Its sides are covered with huge blocks cf gneiss which have fallen from the top, forming long dens and passages between them. On a small, low island, northwest from Moose Island, I found the beach almost covered with fine black ferruginous sand. It is the common black sand.
