CRYSTALINE ROCKS OF N. S. AND C. B.—HONEYMAN. 121 
farther along b’, Then taking a course N. E., towards Loch Eck, 
I passed through b* and into b*, going beyond Ben More, at the 
beginning of Loch Eck my attention was attracted to a rock 
on the right side of the road. This was furrowed by familiar 
glaciation, unfortunately I did not have my compass to take the 
course of the striation. It was apparently towards the S. E. 
The rock itself is a micaceous schist. We followed the course 
of the River Echaig, as far as its falls. The water was low at the 
time and gave an excellent opportunity of examining the magni- 
ficent exposure of schist. It is wonderfully worn and excavated 
by the action of the water, which passes through a narrow gorge. 
The rock is replete with pot holes,some have had sides worn and the 
boulders have escaped. Looking at the lofty hill ridges on either 
side of the valley, and beyond the falls, one is impressed with 
the adaptation of the position for an Alpine glacier. Of course 
other geologists have noticed this, although I have failed, on 
enquiry, of learning the fact.
