38 GLACIAL TRANSPORTATION—HONEYMAN. 
Lon. 80° 54, in the ratio of 2:1. This convinced me that the 
Nova Scotia courses were part of a system having their beginning 
in the distant N. W. ‘To illustrate the relation of these to 
the general transportation of Nova Scotia, 8. E., I added a sheet 
to my chart, so as to be able to locate the groove lines of the 
table as far as Lon. 38° W. The illustration is very striking. 
The variations from the S. E. course are probably like those of 
Nova Scotia,—deviations arising from local causes. 
About the 80° meridian the arrangement of glacial lines is 
peculiarly striking. Here we have a point of general divergence. 
West of this the glaciation has a 8. W. course, S. EH. lines being 
the exception. 
Lake Temiscamang has 10 localities with §. E. striation. 
Hast Bay of this lake, Lon. 79° 30, seems to be about the point 
of divergence. Here the striation has a course S. 53° E. 
Beyond the lake the courses are 8. W. ‘This is one of the lakes 
of Ottawa river. The sources of the river lie to the north of it, 
nearer Hudson’s Bay. Lake Nepissing, S. E. Bay, Lon. 79° 33 
has striation course S. 35° W., and a westerly water course, so 
that the point of glacial divergence seems to be also that of 
water. 
Last summer I had repeated opportunities of making a 
reconnaissance of the superficial and other geology of the region 
traversed by the Intercolonial Railway as far as Point Levis. I 
observed frequently boulders which doubtless were transported 
from the Archzean region north of the River St. Lawrence. 
OTTAWA. 
At Ottawa I made a closer examination of Archean trans- 
portation when making acquaintance with the geology of the 
district. On the Rideau river, at the shooting range, I examined 
the large boulders lying around. The majority of these were 
gneisses, and foreign to Trenton limestone and Utica slate of the 
district. There were boulders of syenite, diorite, granite and 
syenitic gneisses. One syenitic gneiss boulder was replete with 
magnetite. Of these I secured Museum specimens. In Sir W. 
E. Loaan’s table, there is reported striation at Barrack-hill,
