In the accompanying sketch is shown thecontact between the gneiss and hornblendeschist north of the line. This latter rockoccurs in considerable masses, and as thegneiss for the part contains fragmentsof it and shows flow structure conforming tothe lines of contact it must be of later age. West of the Lake of Bays the rock is moregenerally covered and exposures are few ; onlake 32 however some outcrops of gneissoidgranite occur, and to the west of Dominionlake is even more granitic, cropping out inTounded hummocks at various jK)ints bothnorth and south of the line, and on the lineat 20 miles 60 chains, 21 miles 10 chains,22 miles 30 chains.
