271, 273 Granite with little mica, some portions of the felspar tinged
green.
272, 274, 275, 277, 278, 279, 280, Granite grayish and small grained
mica black.

large, imbedded crystals; quartz; and chlorite?
282 Granite? composed of felspar, of quartz, with, perhaps, a few minute
grains of chlorite?
283 Granite? contains little quartz, and a few scales of mica, with some
chlorite?
284 Sienite; felspar somewhat granular, a little quartz and chlorite?
285 Porphyritic sienite? having a basis of slightly granular felspar,
with light-coloured crystals of felspar, some quartz and disseminated
grains of chlorite?

[24] _List of Specimens from Diluvial Gravel, Fort Franklin._
1 Amphibolic granite, rather coarse crystalline, felspar flesh-red.
2 Ditto, approaching to gneiss.
3 Gneiss approaching to mica-slate, felspar white, and in small
quantity.
4 Greenstone with much felspar and minute disseminated pyrites.
5 Quartz rock? having brownish and imperfect crystals, and a reddish
disintegrated mineral disseminated.
6 Brownish-red and fine granular quartz-rock, with a somewhat splintery
fracture. It has the aspect of compact felspar.
7 Quartz rock, reddish crystalline texture, and vitreous lustre, but
with small rounded grains imbedded in it, bringing it near to sandstone.
8 Coarse sandstone; rounded grains of quartz united by a clayey basis.
9 Fine-grained purplish sandstone, with grayish spots. This sandstone
occurs _in sit
