36 GLACIAL TRANSPORTATION—HONEYMAN. 
Nictaux and Atlantic Railway, on the 8. E. side of Cleveland 
mountain, a part of which is called South mountain, on the 
south side of the Annapolis Valley. Near the front of Cleveland 
mountain (N.), an interesting exposure of glaciated argillites 
occurs where the old or steep road meets the new one. This 
position is nearly on a level with the general elevation of North 
mountain. This is the only striation that I have noticed on the 
north side of Nova Scotia. JI remarked of this striation that the 
agent making it and transporting the amygdaloids from the 
North mountain, must have had a highway across the tract 
intervening between the two mountain ranges. I therefore 
inferred the non-existence of the Annapolis Valley in the glacial 
period. 
T also noticed at Nictaux a transportation of granite north- 
wards, from the granites of South mountain towards the Anna- 
polis Valley. I have considered the amygdaloid transportation as 
during the glacial period, and the granite as occurring towards 
its close during the formation of the Annapolis Valley, the 
granite having been transported by Sand-slips or avalanches. / 
KING'S COUNTY. 
In the middle of the Annapolis valley, near the Berwick 
station of the Windsor and Annapolis Railway, numerous boul- 
ders of granite were found. These, too, have been transported 
northerly from the granite region of South mountain. The time 
of transportation, and the agency, may possibly have been the 
same as referred to in the preceding case. 
At Kentville, trappean boulders from the North Mountain 
were observed, and a beautiful specimen of fortification agate 
collected. 
On the south side of Wolfville—on the side of the road that 
passes Acadia College—abundance of amygdaloids and other 
trappean boulders were observed. At the south-east they were 
very abundant, near, and in the Gaspereaux Valley. The size 
and number of these were such as might be expected in sight of 
Blomidon, and without any apparent obstruction in the path of 
transportation. J was disappointed, however, in observing their
