me has been worked for a length of over 140 feet for mica. In the northern extension the pegmatite dike measures 75feet in width. Tourmaline, and garnet, beryl, and also muscovite mica hasbeen found in small quantities. Another property of importance is the Beaver Lake prop- far no investigations have been made as to their contents inthe rarer minerals. In the country north of Ottawa in the townships of Wake-field, Templeton and Low, a large number of pegmatite dikeshave been found and some of them worked for muscovitemica, but no information is available—excepting the Ville-neuve mine as regards their carrying rare minerals. In the township of Aylwin, ^4 mile north of Venosta sta-tion, a vein of pegmatite cuts through a greyish garnetiferousgneiss. In the Parry Sound district, in the township of Proudfoot,a coarse and fine grained gneiss occurs, containing ciotite andmuscovite mica. Various masses of fine grained diorite pene-trate the gneiss and a great nurnber of pegmatite dikes.

It is situated at thehead of the little Bergeronnes River, in close proximity toSable Lake, about 11 miles from the St. Lawrence River. Thewidth of the pegmatite dike is reported to be between 200 and300 feet, with a vertical dip and a course north-east. Besides the above described occurrences there are a greatnumber of smaller discoveries. Several pegmatite dikes havebeen reported in the country north from the McGie mine, atthe heads of the river Beaulieu and Bas de Soie. Along the banks of the Canard River, near the St. Law-rence, we can notice a large number of pegmatite veins, but so In British Columbia, some large pegmatite dikes have beenopened up for mica in the vicinity of Tete Jaune Cache, about150 miles northwest of Donald on the C. P. R. According toMr. McEvoy, the pegmatite veins cut the country rock, whichconsists in that locality of garnetiferous mica schists withsom
