rarity in the space intervening between Wolfville and Blomidon. I 
do not recollect of seeing any trappean boulders until approach- 
ing the latter. I found on Blomidon the amygdaloid rocks,—the 
source of supply—far from exhausted by the enormous levy 
that had been made to supply so liberally the drift between 
Wolfville and the Atlantic. 
I noticed, also, another great granite transportation. Granite 
boulders were first observed in Halfway River, at the line 
between the Counties of King’s and Hants. Approaching their 
source, the extension of the granites of South mountain, already 
referred to, the size and number of the boulders was so great aS 
to lead to the belief that the solid granite was underneath, while 
the underlying rocks were found to be argillites. The transpor- 
tation is like the cases already referred to northerly. Amygdaloids 
of the southerly transportation were also observed among the 
granite boulders among the argillites of Greentield. 
HANTS COUNTY. 
On the estuary of the Avon, from Horton Bluff to Windsor, 
amygdaloids are seen in great abundance, and often of consider- 
able size. Besides the lower carboniferous limestones, above the 
old Avon bridge are abundance of small amygdaloid boulders: 
It was when examining these limestones, and collecting their 
fossils, in 1861, that I first noticed the amygdaloid boulders. 
Prof. How then informed me that they were from Blomidon. 
On every subsequent visit to this locality, I made a more intimate 
acquaintance with them and their minerals. It was this acquaint- 
ance that led me to recognize their fellows at Cow Bay and 
elsewhere. 
BEYOND. 
While some of the movements were undoubtedly local, others 
—e. g., the Archean transportation of Antigonish—could not 
possibly originate on the border of Northumberland Strait. This 
conviction left me to consult the record of observations made in 
Canada by Sir Wm. E. Loaan and others, in the table of glacia- 
tion grooves in “ Geology of Canada, 1863.” Pp. 890, 1-2. Here 
I found Nova Scotian courses S. E. prevailing over 8, W., up to
