Abstract
Mount Royal is one of the three "mountains" or hills on the island of Montreal. Mount Royal, Outremont and Westmount mountains are within a circle of two miles radius and are separated by rolling ground with a relief of 100 feet. The principal exposures that were studied are: the cliff face at the north portal of the tramway tunnel in Mount Royal, and further exposures north of this along the tramway track; the cliff on the southeast side of Mount Royal in the vicinity of the lookout; and the quarry face on the northeast side of Westmount mountain. (see Map.)
