NOTES

1. Site contributed by Professor Sarah Murray, University of Toronto, Canada

2. I have followed Watrous' directions in giving these positions for C4226 and C4227. Mostly I have relied on the rocky outcrop mentioned by Watrous [2004] 538 (93. (B 38)) and which is visible at the C4227 marker.
