acter, its gold and mode of. occurrence, as well as the process at 
the mill by which the gold is extracted. Gold was seen occur- 
ring in a striking manner in a collection of pieces of quartz 
taken from the mine. Of these the visitors reeeived a liberal 
share, as mementoes of Nova Scotia Gold Fields. 
POINT PLEASANT. 
Dr. Blanford, Messrs. Bauerman, Topley and Merrit, the geolo™ 
gists of the party, and Mr. Morrow, the President of the Nova 
Scotia Institute of Natural Science, went to Point Pleasant to 
examine interesting glacial phenomena. As the weather was 
unfavorable, we could only examine a few of the more striking 
of these. 
1. We first examined a ledge of the Cambrian rocks on the east 
side, near the Point. This projects into the harbour. The strata have 
a northerly dip of 20°. The rocks are hard and crumpled. They 
have been scooped, grooved and rounded. The course of stria- 
tion produced passes through the harbour, touching Thrum Cap, 
a remarkable glacial deposit which was examined in company 
with Col. Akers, R. EK. I have characterized this as “The ultima 
thule of Glacial Transportation in Eastern Canada.”—(Vide Paper 
“On the Geology of Halifax Harbour,” read at the meeting of the 
British Association at Montreal.) It was suggested that the 
glaciating agency might have come from the south. Another 
glaciated surface to be yet examined was referred to as shewing 
the direction. 
2. The section of a deposit of glacial drift at the west side at 
the entrance to the N. W. Arm was next examined. Numerous 
boulders were observed. These were syenites, diorites and 
porphyrites, from the Cobequid Mountain, Archean series of 
rocks, and of the Springhill and Parrsboro’ Railway. Attention 
was then directed to an enormous boulder of quartzite of Bedford 
Basin or beyond. This is furrowed, rounded and striated in a 
remarkable manner—two sets of furrows forming a series of vari- 
ous angles. This was at once recognized as part of the plowing 
machine which had furrowed, striated and polished the rock sur- 
faces of Point Pleasant. The boulders of our section is still par- 
tially imbedded in the drift.
