PICTOU COUNTY. 
Last summer I extended my observations from West River 
railway station, eastward as far as the Albion mines. Syenitic 
boulders were observed on both sides of the railway, as far as 
Hopewell station. At the new workings of the Albion mines I 
collected boulders from the drift—syenitic gneisses and syenites. 
The position of the drift having these boulders is intermediate 
between the Cobequid mountains and the Archzan rocks of 
East River. The source of the boulders is therefore proble- 
matical. They may have been brought to their present position 
by floods occurring at the close of the glacial period. One of 
the boulders is a very beautiful syenite. I found a large boulder 
of a similar character near Merigomish harbour in 1868. It 
was composed of white and pale red orthoclase, light green 
hornblende and hyaline quartz. I have not seen a syenite like 
it in situ. 
ANTIGONISH COUNTY. 
On the shore at Morristown, (Antigonish) boulders, large and 
small, of Diorite of strongly-marked character, attracted my 
attention upwards of twenty years ago. Much speculation was 
indulged in regarding their source. It was concluded that they 
had been transported from the Labrador coast. 
When I discovered the typical “ Archzean” Arisaig rocks on 
Northumberland Strait shore in 1868, I was pleased to find a 
rock precisely similar to the boulders in question as one of the 
rocks of the series. I may remark that in all my examinations
