Fifteen quartz petrofabric diagrams were made from nine specimens of Grenville type granulites. The majority of the specimens, which are granitic, posses B-B' - tectonite fabrics comparable to those of other granulite areas. An important feature brought out by the diagrams is the lack of correspondance between the megascopic fabric axes, determined by lineation and foliation, and the fabric axes determined by the quartz diagrams. This discrepancy may be interpreted as an indication of a change in the direction of tectonic transport, during deformation, from N 50 to N 80 E.
