In the Parry Sound District, one of the divisions of the Ijliiskoka" Region which stretches from the Severn to French River, out enquiries extended -to fourteen townships, twelve of which 'Were visited. In this dis trict tljeretare twenty-two sections.' In the Algoma District,.extending from the month of French River' to Pigeon Stiver, there are twenty sections, eight of which are on the north shores of: Lakes Huron and Superior, and twelve in:the Islands' of Manitoulin and St. Joseph. In these two .(districts we viBited forty- one of the for^y-two sections (fifteen 1 of. which we organized,) inspected the schools, in.operation, and exam ined fifteen candidates for teacher's certificates; 'In the performance of f hese duties we travelled 2,500 ( miles. ,-' j : ._. !

My former pupil'and his companion rowed us across the hay to the residence of an old friend, Mr. Charles Symori, A warm nnd hearty reception made us feel at home at once; A lovely view is obtained from the'house of our host. Directly opposite is Bob Island, to the west of which are Oak arid Rosette .Islands, lying in front of Parry Island.. The latter is 27 miles l^ong arid belongs to'the Indians^ many of whom are pagans. .Parry Sourid.is a village of about 800 inhabitants, situated in the township of McDougall, at the4 iSegeen River.
