Not illustrated. 1895 Excerpt: ...Walkerton (terrace) 825 ' Paisley (terrace) 860" Burgoyne (east of Southampton) 876" Rockford, north of 915" North coast of Lake Simcoe (probably that) on the insular ridge, north of Barrie 910" Of the second beach, above the Algonquin, at or near: Watford 773" Ailsa Craig 789" Varna 845 (+)" Walkerton 944" Chatsworth 985" A still higher beach has been surveyed for many miles, and several fragments of even more elevated shores are now well identified. Some of these upper beaches have been traced over long distances, and have been found resting upon the land north of Lake Erie, and even extending to the high country between Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay. From the figures recorded in the three tables, it will be found that the mean rate of warping in the Algonquin Beach, from the southern end of the lake to near Southampton, is 1.33 feet per mile; of the next beach, between Parkhill and Burgoyne, 1.5 feet; and of the higher beach, betweed Watford and Walkerton, 1.71 feet. These rates of differential uplift are reduced at their more southern extensions, but increased to two feet, or somewhat more, at the more northern. After skirting the Indian Peninsula, the position of the Algonquin Beach surrounding the head of Georgian Bay is such that it can be triangulated, and hence the average amount of uplift, as well as its direction can be obtained. Accordingly, it is found that the uplift upon the more southwestern portion of the beach, at the head of the bay, is about 3 feet per mile, in a direction of N. 20 E., with an eastern equivalent of about one foot per mile. The uplift increases so that east of Georgian Bay the mean rise is 4.1 feet per mile in a direction of N. 25 E., with the eastern equivalent of 1.7 feet per...
