Another stream drops 40 feet over the terminal cliff, and a brook flows from the northern end of the portage. Near the center of the little peninsula a high saddle occupied by a sphagnum bog crosses the coulee between St. George's and Indian coves. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is a pleasure to acknowledge with gratitude the help so freely given by several people, enabling me to carry out these studies. Permission to enter the Gaspe Provincial Park on several occasions was granted by Dr. Camille- Eugene Pouliot, Ministre de la Chasse et des Pecheries, and Mr. F. de B. Gourdeau of the Services des Pares. Of the same organization Messrs. Steven MacWhirter, Cesare Fortin, and several guardians were generous hosts and guides. Officers of the Cascapedia Mining and Trading Company also provided hospitality. Through Dr. I. W. Jones, Chief of the Geological Sur- veys Branch, Department of Mines, Quebec, and Dr. F. J. Alcock, Chief Curator, National Museum of Canada, important maps and publications were procured. Mr. R. Charles Lindsay placed at my disposal not only his own, but several camps about the peninsula belonging to the Quebec Fisheries Service. Meteorological data from United States Weather Bureau Stations in New England and Canada were made available by Mr. John B. Underwood of the U. S. Meteorological Service. Thanks are returned to Mildred Porter Cloud and to Clara Mae LeVene for typing and editing the manuscript, and for helpful criticism. I am grateful to Professor John S. Nic
