These in-clusions often contain much epidote, and thin seams of epidote were occasionallyobserved in the gneiss also. From Kettle falls to the Carrying Places, a distance of about fifteen miles,rock exposures are rare, and consist of hornblende and biotite-granite gneiss. Xoinclusions Avere observed. At the Carrying Places these rocks are well exposed for •Rep. Bur. Min., Vol. Xin, 1004. Rep. Ont. Bur Min., Vol. XIII, 1904; Vol. XXVII, 191S. Bureau of Mines No. 4. Foot of Lobstick portage, Abitibi river. The exposures-are Inotite-syenite gneiss,garnetiferous, showing effects of weathering.
