GLACIAL TRANSPORTATION—HONEYMAN. 39 
having a course 8. 45° E., and at Rideau river, Stegman’s rapids, 
S. 45° E. I located and extended this striation course on 
VENNORS map, and found it to run between the Hull and 
Laycock’s Iron Mines, situate in the Laurentian (Archean) 
range to the north of Ottawa, where we might expect magnetite 
to exist in gneisses. In the same table there is striation noted 
at Hull, having also a course 8, 45° E. 
KINGSTON. 
I had also an opportunity of making a reconnaissance of 
the Geology of Canada between Montreal and Kingston,’ and 
between Kingston and Ottawa. The Archean, near Kingston, 
with the Trenton limestone directly overlying it, was a point of 
special interest observed. When preparing the Nova Scotia 
department at the Dominion exhibition, I observed numerous 
and massive Archean boulders on and around the exhibition 
grounds. These very much resembled the Ottawa boulders, being 
granitic and syenitic gneisses, syenites, &c., transported from the 
Archean region on the north. Specimens of these were also 
collected for the Museum. Among the boulders was a piece of 
Trenton limestone, beautifully glaciated. Of this I also secured 
a specimen. In my search for glaciation, I observed Trenton 
' limestone, deeply furrowed, near the entrance to the Royal 
Military College. The course of the furrows was found to be 
S. 45° W. In Sir W. E. Locayn’s table there is Kingston lat. 44° 
14’, lon. 76° 29... Direction of grooves S. 45° W., other grooves 
8. 85° E. I observed the phenomena of glacial transportation to 
a distance of 3° short of the longitude of Lake Temiscamang. 
The longitude of Archean transportation of Antigonish being 
61° 53'; the field which I here traversed and found boulders by 
Archean transportation is 14° 36' from east to west. The great 
transportation lines of Nova Scotia extending N. W., reach Hud- 
son’s Bay at James’ Bay, on the east side. 
In my investigations I have thus added to the region of 
Canadian observers the Province of Nova Scotia, and given the 
great south-eastern transportation of North America an Atlantic 
terminus.
