" Its whole extent, from north to south, is ahout forty mik'S, and varies in width from one to eiii^ht miles, and very irreonlar a shape, owino; to its deep coves, bays, and islands, â which in some parts almost fill the lake. Many of these islands are mere ledpcs of slate, covered with n. scanty rrrowth of cedar and fir, risinf*- ])erpendicularly from the surlace of the water, which fall suddenly to a f^reat depth hy their sides. Others are larn:e islands of many acres, well wooded, and bordered by beach- es of sand, as well as by ledfres of rock. Chi 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 cides are covered with huge blocks of 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.
