GEOLOGICAL NOTES—HONEYMAN. uiyia: 
3. I next directed attention to a sizeable boulder which Prof. 
Richardson had taken out of the drift with his pick-hammer. 
Dr. Blanford at once recognised it as a Partridge Island 
Amyegdaloid. The boulder is replete with beautiful Amygdules 
of the Zeolites, Heulandite, Stilbite, &e. The remains of it will 
be found in our Museum Collections, where it is treasured as a 
memento of pleasant intercourse with British and American 
Geologists. 
PRINCE OF WALES TOWER. 
Our next and last object was the very remarkable, unique, and 
instructive, I may say classical, glaciated rock area at the Prince 
of Wales’ Tower. This has called forth the admiration of every 
Geologist who has examined it. Here we have a rock surface 
generally smoothed, polished, striated and rutted in the Glacial 
Period after having been tilted “wonderfully crumpled and 
faulted,” in the very remote Lower Silurian past. 
The most striking and instructive part of it are its ruts. 
These convincingly reply to the question asked on the Harbour 
ledge (1). A series of these are seen beginning at the northern 
side of the area. After rutting the edges of the striata, in the man- 
ner of a nail drawn across the lines of growth of a pine board, 
they come to a close set line of crumples. Here the ruts termi- 
nate, only a few short scratches pass beyond the crumples, _ 
diverging from the regular course S. 20 E. mag., at various angles. 
This convincingly shows that points of the graving machine 
making the ruts had been fractured in their southerly course. 
This testimony corresponds with that of the transported Amyg- 
daloids. The rut course produced in a northerly direction passes 
the line of Blomidon, and crosses to Cape Sharp. A parallel 
glaciation, course S. 20°, E. mag., from Gore and Shubenacadie, 
on the east, includes Partridge Island and Two Islands. The 
two still farther produced pass through the Cobequid Moun- 
tains, including the depression through which the Spring Hill 
and Parrsboro Railway passes, and terminate in Nova Scotia at 
the South Joggins Section, the latter two miles west of the 
Joggins Mines’ Coal Seams, the former 12 miles farther west 
at Sand River. Produced farther they pass into New Bruns- 
wick, including the “Pre-cambrian” mountain, Shepody.
