er here, p. 71. [42] See page 288. [43] Specimens from Sellwood Bay. 202 Fine-grained dark brownish-gray dolomite, with corallines filled with white calc-spar. 203 Lucullite grayish-black, compact, and without lustre. 204 Gray dolomite. 205 A rolled piece, evidently of the same rock with the preceding, containing the impression of a _cardium_. 206 [44] Specimens from the Promontory of Cape Parry, which rises into a hill, seven hundred feet high. Strata dipping lightly to the northward. 207 Yellowish-gray dolomite, imperfectly crystalline, being similar to the limestone of Lake Winipeg. 208 Brownish dolomite impregnated with silica. 209 Thin-slaty, gray limestone. Very common also in Lake Winipeg. 210, 211 Boulders of dolomite. 212 213 Brown dolomite, with drusy cavities and veins, lined by calc-spar. [45] In the geological notices appended to the narrative of Captain Franklin's Journey to the Coppermine, I have termed this rock a dark purplish-red felspar rock. On examining it again on this journey, I perceived it to be a greenstone, whose surfaces weather of a rusty brown colour. Transcriber's Notes: The original makes extensive use of sidenotes, and several sidenotes are often associated with a single paragraph, especially within the final chapter. Because of this, inline sidenotes have been used and are positioned as close to the relevant passage as was possible during proofing. Old spellings are retained, e.g. musquitoes, felspar, Esquimaux, kaiyacks, imbedded, incloses, inclosing, inquiry, inquiries, moveable, incrusted, trowsers, bivouack, referrible, teazing. Both vallies and valleys are used interchangably and this has not altered. Names with suffixes "Mc" or "Mac" written as "M'" throughout text; this convention is retained. Only printer's errors have been corrected. "A.M." and "P.M." are shown without an internal space--spaces have been removed where they were present in manuscript. Usage was inconsistent, perhaps to better justify text. Internal spaces have also been removed from initials such as R.N., F.R.S., K.G., &c., to improve rewrap behaviour. Decimal points were locally denoted by commas. This convention is replaced by standard decimal point notation throughout. Degree, minute and second have been spelled out, replacing symbols in the original. Lengthy quotations were denoted by a leading quotation mark in the first column of each line. They are replace
