310 GEOLOGY OF ANTIGONISH COUNTY —HONEYMAN.: , 
intervention. I shall again refer to this fact. Another fact.may 
be stated. A large piece of rock was pointed out to me, by my 
eompanion, on the mountain side,immediately behind our fossi~ 
liferous strata, as something peculiar. It was a conglomerate’ 
eorresponding with rocks found at Wentworth, in the Cobequid 
Mountains, belonging to the series of roeks with which I have 
elsewhere correlated part of these mountain rocks. Proceeding om 
line of railway, we pass the last outcrop of the fossiliferous 
rocks at the old stage-eoach stables. At Glen-Bard ure seen 
outcrops of the Cambrian (7) rocks. Emerging from Marshy 
Hope, at the Big Clearing Station, we observe Lower Carbon~ 
iferous conglomerates, suceeeded by limestones. 
We are now on the north-west corner of the southern Car- 
boniferous area of the County. Advancing we have limestones,. 
or pits, as far as James’s River. Following this: river into the 
mountains, about three miles, we come to a fine waterfall, with 
rocks rising in peaks, on its sides, to a considerable elevation— 
estimated about 300 feet. The whole is picturesque and beau- 
tiful. Further up, at a distance of two miles, we reach the “Old. 
Mountain Road,” with its old clearings. This was formerly a 
highway between Antigonish and Merigomish. 
Returning to the railway and proceeding onward, we enter 
upon a great belt of gypsum, with oceasional limestones. This 
extends, with occasional interruptions, as far east as St. George’s 
Bay,.a distance of fifteen miles. It also passes over to the south, 
appearing at Addington Forks, and beyond at West River. 
Reaching Braley Brook, we observe the gypsums rising in a 
lofty wall, with the brook running along its foot. 
Following the brook towards the mountain, we find limestone 
strata, having brown ochre with calchopyrite coated with green 
carbonate of copper. This has conglomerate underlying it, which 
has also green copper carbonate. None of these are of any 
value. Still advancing, we have the gypsum wall on the right, 
and come to a small brook, which also issues from the mountain- 
Going up this brook, we come to a quarry having limestone of 
considerable quantity and solidity. This quarry furnished the 
chief building stone of St. Ninian’s Cathedral, Antigonish. This
