          Lake sediments were analyzed for Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Co, Ag, Mn, As, Mo, Fe, Hg, U, F, Cd, V and loss-on-ignition to estimate organic carbon content. Lake waters were analyzed for U, F and pH.

          Each Open File consists of 19 geochemical maps, sample location map and text of field observations, analytical and statistical data.

          These files will be placed on Open File for inspection from 1300 h, EDT August 1983 (and equivalent local times) at all Geological Survey of Canada libraries and at the office of the Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy, 95 Bonaventure Avenue, St. John's, Newfoundland.

White prints and text copies may also be obtained at the user's expense from Campbell Reproductions, 880 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1R 6K7.

          The field observations and analytical data in the text from which the maps were prepared are also available in digital form and at the user's expense from the Director, Computer Science Centre, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, 588 Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0E4.
