St. Barnabé fault, in St. Hyacinthe plain of the St. Lawrence lowlands, was postulated by Clark (1947) on his geological study of this area. Structural features of this type are of great interest to the geophysicist to establish relation between physical quantities measured at the surface and geometry of such structures. A subsurface fault can be diagnosed, under density contrast condition, with surface gravity measurements. The present detailed gravity survey was undertaken to determine if such a condition existed, to correlate geological information with gravity data, and to assess this data in terms of possible parameters of the fault structure. The field work was carried out in the summer months of 1964 with a Worden gravimeter. [...]
