64 NOVA SCOTIAN GEOLOGY—-HONEYMAN. 
On the quartzite stratwm are seen markings when the shaly 
strata are removed, these are considered to be Helminthites (worm 
tracks). Ihave pointed out these again and again to members of 
Institute, to students and others for several years. Every season 
there are new exposures. I have tried to secure specimens for 
the museum but without success, on account of the great hard- 
ness of the stratum. 
On the west of the syncline, the confused strata on 
the right, the obscuration and confused strata on the left, 
is the road sueceeded by confusion. Steel’s Pond and Miller’s 
Field, with wonderfully crumpled strata on either side; Pine 
Hill, the seat of the Presbyterian College, beautiful country 
residences and the Penitentiary. We have now reached the 
North West Arm. Crossing to the opposite side we come two the 
Sugar Refinery. Here we find the argillites of the syncline 
continued, The rocks of which these are a part, are exposed in 
a beautiful and instructive section which I would now describe. 
The stratified rocks—argillite and gneissoid—extend a consi- 
derable distance to the right, N. W. and left. In the latter 
direction they extend to the Point, at the entrance to the Arm 
where we have the Ironstone (gneissoid) Quarries. In the 
section succeed the granite of the Queen’s quarries. The gnéissoid 
rocks have the northerly dip of the Point Pleasant extension and 
of the previous section. On the road to the Queen’s Quarries 
they are seen butting against the granite as a distinct micaceous 
schist. At the Junction the two are so loosely coherent that I 
found it impossible to secure a specemen which would indicate 
the Junction. We now come to Purcell’s Cove, where the gneis- 
soid rocks succeed the granite in sectionand butt against the 
granite and maintain a northerly dip. The granites again come 
forward to the section and continue as far as Falkland Village, 
where they are again succeeded by gneissoid rocks. On the shore 
the first of the latter is seen to overlie the granite. At the June- 
tion they are so firmly coherent that there is no difficulty in 
securing aJunction specimen. From this point to York Redoubt 
point, the stratified rocks are seen in the section., while the 
granite retreats, forming a bay which is occupied by the gneissoid 
rocks. These have an east and west strike and a northerly dip,
