The specimens of rocks I obtained have been deposited in the Museum of the Geological Society, and are referred to in the ensuing pages by the numbers affixed to them. The notices are arranged nearly.in the order of the route of the expedition, commencing with Great Bear Lake, where our winter quarters were situated. GREAT BEAR LAKE. Great Bear Lake is an extensive sheet of water, of a very.irregular shape, being formed by the union of five arms or bays in a common centre. The greatest diameter of the lake, measuring about one hundred and fifty geographical miles, runs from the bottom...
