Excerpt from A Botanical Exploration of the North Shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence: Including an Annotated List of the Species of Vascular Plants As is the case along the north shore of the St. Lawrence, there occurs farther eastward along the north shore of the gulf a mountain range, or rather a range of hills, formed of Laurentian rocks.
