894 GEOLOGY OF ANTIGONISH COUNTY—HONEYMAN. 
In these are veins of calchopyrite, which @re considered to be of 
economic importance, “Polson’s Lake copper mines.” There is 
also a vein of micaceous oxide of iron, out of which I tad masses 
at the London Exhibition of 1862. I would observe that these 
strata have been complicated by trap dykes. The position oceu- 
pied by this series, placed between Fossiliferous D Upper Silu- 
rian of Lochaber Lake and the Lower Carboniferous of South 
River led me to regard it as of Devonian age (in 1866), and to 
correlate the red strata with E of the Section IIL, and Me- 
Adam’s and McAra’s Brook. At that time I was not aware of 
the great band of red and grey strata, No. 6, of the Arisaig 
mountains, with its disturbing “igneous rocks,” with which I 
now believe it to correspond. I thus place the “ Metalliferous 
Series” under, Lower Silurian A of the “Fossiliferous Series,” 
and assign it to an age prior to the Hudson River. Iam somewhat 
disposed, on consideration of its lithological and metalliferous char- 
acter in connection with its “igneous” association, to correlate it 
with metalliferous rocks of Nictaux and Mocse River, in the 
County of Annapolis. 
PLEISTOCENE. 
“Drift accumulations abound throughout the county. The 
transportation of the boulders at Ogden’s, Section HI, from the 
Lower Arisaig (Archvean) series of Section II is in the direction 
S.30 E. There can be no doubt that this transportation has 
been effected by glacial action, although no glaciation has been 
observed in the county. Large masses have been transported 
from Frenchman’s Barn (rock) and Arisaig Pier of the same see- 
tion to elevated portions of the south.”—(“Geology of Antigonish 
County,” Trans., 1575.) 
In my Paper “On Glacial Transportation in Nova Scotia and 
Beyond,” (Trans., I. N.S8S., 1883,) I have referred to this trans- 
portation, and especially to the “Archzean” from Section IIT to 
Section II, and its course. It corresponds in character with that 
from the Cobequid Mountains, and in direction with the. glacia- 
tion which points to Blomidon or Partridge Island as the source 
of the amygdaloids that are to be found in Halifax and vicinity,
