120 GLACIAL ACTION—HONEYMAN. 
From what I have seen of the rocks in the district I have no 
hesitation in regarding the boulders as travellers from a distance, 
The Laurentian Formation lies on the north side of the river (St. 
Lawrence,) at a distance of 20 miles from the position of the 
boulders. They have travelled a distance, of at least 27 miles. 
Specimens of the boulders before you are, first, a beautifully 
banded gneiss having black mica (muscovite) and white quartz ; 
second, also beautifully banded having black mica and reddish 
quartz; third, is of black mica and yellowish quartz; it is also 
banded but not so beautifully as the other two. On two other 
occasions I was in this locality, but without time to make any 
observations. The transportation observed was not unexpected. 
In Sir W. E. Logan’s table on glaciation, I found that at Kempt 
Road near Metapedia Lake, Lat. 48° 32’, Long. 67° 43’, there is 
glaciation having a course of S. 80° E. On the admiralty chart 
T had also observed that the glaciation of Point Pleasant extended 
N. E. passes through Rimouski at a distance of 310 miles. The 
longitude of Rimouski is 68° 32’, and the latitude is 48° 28’. 
The striation at Metapedia Lake, if extended in the direction 
of Rimouski would pass considerably to the north of the boulders, 
as the latitude of the one is 6’ north of the latitude of the other, 
and the longitude 49’ less. In my last paper on Glacial 'Trans- 
portation I observed that the extreme points of my observations 
were George’s Bay, Antigonish, N. §., Long. 62°, and Kingston, 
Ontario, Long. 76° 29’. Two other extreme points are Halifax, 
N.S., latitude, 44° 44, lat. 48° 22’, and Rimouski, Quebee. 
Locu Eck, ARGYLESHIRE, SCOTLAND. 
In the month of July I had an opportunity of making some 
geological observations in the West of Scotland, especially in a 
corner of Argyleshire, at the Firth of the Clyde and Loch Long, 
My headquarters there were Blairmore. On the shore are inter- 
esting exposures of strata which are evidently near the Geological 
horizon of our own Cambro-Silurian formation. These are b’, 
b”. b’’, Silurian, Clay, Chlorite, Mica, Slate, and Gneissose 
rocks, based on quartzose, flagstones, quartz rock, &. Vide Mur- 
chison & Geikie’s First Sketch of a New Geological Map of Scot- 
land, 1861. From Blairmore I proceeded to Kilmun, thus passing
