The Town

I present the first documented records of Gray Treefrog, Hyla versicolor, from the Red Lake area of Kenora District in northwestern Ontario. A photograph of H. versicolor was taken at a locality west-northwest of the town of Red Lake in 2007 and another east of Red Lake in 2009. H. versicolor choruses were heard at 11 localities east and southeast of Red Lake in June 2008, and were tape recorded at 5. These seven documented records are 46-56 km north-northwest of the previous most northern voucher, west of the town of Ear Falls, and they represent the most northern locations known for H. versicolor in Ontario.

Granitoid Rocks

Archaean sedimentary rocks of the North Spirit Lake area show little evidence of having been derived predominantly from associated Archaean volcanic rocks. Instead, compositions of the sediments reflect significant sedimentary and (or) granitoid provenance. A remarkably high content of clastic quartz in thick units of sandstone and conglomerate suggests either reworking of older quartzose sediments, or reduction of the labile constituents in quartz-rich granitoid rocks through prolonged weathering and rigorous transport. Observations for other sedimentary sequences in the region between Red Lake and Lansdowne House suggest that the North Spirit sediments are not unique in the Superior Province. Quartzose sandstones commonly are regarded as atypical of the Archaean, but such rocks arc abundant in northwestern Ontario. Frameworks of many Archaean greywackes actually are richer in quartz than typical greywackes from numerous Proterozoic and Phanerozoic sequences.The concept of rapidly rising volcanic arcs as the sole source of Archaean sedimentary detritus is rejected for the North Spirit area. The volcanies, rather than representing relicts of protocontinents, probably record events removed from initial volcanism in the history of the earth by one or more orogenic cycles. Major unconformities may therefore exist not only between sedimentary and volcanic units, but also between these units and older granitoid rocks.

This report documents a group of 19 Wolves (Canis lupus) in northwestern Ontario. This is the largest group observed since record keeping in the Moose Aerial Inventory commenced in 1995. This large group may be a response to a high Moose (Alces alces) population in the Red Lake area.

Abstract The widespread decline in amphibian populations highlights the need for establishing rigorous monitoring methods for long-term population studies. In an attempt to launch a long-term monitoring study for a Gray Treefrog complex (Hyla versicolor LeConte /chrysoscelis Cope, hereafter treefrog) population in northwest Missouri, I tested the use of PVC pipe traps in a system of ponds and inlets along a lakeside habitat for three years. For each pond (3) and inlet (2), I established an array of 16 pipes so as to compare differences in use between pipe location, ponds and inlets, and sex ratio between sites. Pipes were checked twice a week during the summer for the presence of treefrogs. Treefrog usage of pipes between ponds and inlets were compared using a contingency table analysis, while an ANOVA was used to assess differences in sex ratios between sites (α = 0.05). A single inlet was used by treefrogs more heavily than the other ponds or inlet (G = 13.61, df = 3, P = 0.0035), however, I found no differences in terms of pipe location within a pond or inlet. Mean sex ratio between water bodies varied but did not significantly differ. There appears to be little effect in terms of pipe placement within our 50 m buffer from the water's edge, but unique habitat effects at sampling locations may significantly affect detection rates or usage.

Gravity Profile

This paper presents the results of a detailed gravity profile measured across the two lithotectonic domains of the English River Subprovince from Vermilion Bay to Red Lake, a distance of 190 km, in northwestern Ontario. Along the profile 283 fresh rock samples were collected for density measurements. The density data clearly suggest that there is a measurable and significant density difference between the migmatized metasediments and plutonic rocks.A crustal model based on the seismic data, along the profile, has been used for computing a regional gravity field, which in turn has been used in isolating the residual anomalies from the Bouguer anomaly field. A strong correlation has been found to exist between the residual anomalies, the rock densities, and the surface lithologies. The Northern Supracrustal Domain, which is at its widest (60 km) along the profile, is dominated by a pronounced 15 mGal (150 μm s−2) positive residual anomaly believed to be caused by outcropping, anomalously dense metasediments extending to a modelled depth of approximately 10 km. In the Southern Plutonic Domain the residual anomalies along the profile are small (less than 5 mGal (50 μm s−2)) and limited in depth. The Mystery Lake dome extends to a modelled depth of approximately 2.5 km.
