GEOLOGY OF ANTIGONISH COUNTY —HONEYMAN. By g 
peculiar cornulite was by Salter characterized as “trumpet- 
shaped.” The chief rock of the mountain, which rises to a con- 
siderable height, is erystalline diorite and intrusice? There 
is nothing intervening between this.and A. The D member of 
the series is seen outcropping on the road and side of the lake. 
Between this and the outcrops of A: are cultivated fields. That 
C underlies, I know from the rocks of cairns which have pro- 
duced two large orthoceratites, the trilobite homealomatus of C 
horizon, as it appears at Arisaig and elsewhere. D. strata have 
produced the characteristie fossils—Brachiopoda, Chonetes Nova 
Scotia, Hall. Crunia, Acadiensis, Hall. Trilobite, Dalmania 
Logani, Hall. Here, then, we have A of Hudson River Lower 
Silurian, and C of Aynestry Limestone, or Niagara Limestone, 
age, and D of Upper Ludlow or Lower Helderberg age—Upper 
Silurian. 
We now examine the “Metalliferous Series.” I quote the 
description of this from my Paper—“Geology of Antigonish 
County.” Trans. 1866, page 110: “A very broad band of red- 
dish brown and grey argillaceous slates, which form an island 
in the lake, extend to Polson’s Lake and beyond it. In their 
strike they extend to the west of Lochaber Lake in the one 
direction and through South River Lake and the river itself in 
the other direction ; at right angles to the strike they pass into 
Guysboro’ County. On the western side of Lochaber there are 
magnificent exposures of the brownish red strata in the course 
of a small brook that runs into the lake. To the south of the 
brook there is a thick bed of limestones, altered and contorted, 
which contains blue fluorite. This seems to be a carboniferous 
limestone. Between Lochaber Lake and Polson’s Lake the slates 
contain veins of quartz of considerable thickness, which contain 
plates of specular iron ore, and at one of the streams that flow 
into South River, grey and brownish red slate is associated with 
quartzite, which contains veins of quartz having colourless 
crystals (rock crystal) of considerable size and beauty. I also 
found garnets and erystals of pyrite of the beautiful form.—Fig, 
4, Dana’s Manual, 1878. But these were not found in situ. The 
slates at Polson’s Lake are of darker colour than the others.”
