Xiv GLACIAL DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA—HONEYMAN, 
An interesting problem was thus presented for solution. I found 
similar boulders occurring in abundance on the Atlantic shore, 
from Point Pleasant, Halifax Harbour, west of Cow Bay, to Three 
Fathom Harbour, east of it. Associated with these were Lower 
Carboniferous Limestone boulders with fossils (Brachiopoda, ée.,) 
and boulders with Carboniferous plants, such as Stigmaria, 
Lepidodendra, and Calamites, from the beds intervening between 
Blomidon and the coast. This is very interesting, as showing that 
the transporting agency levied upon every formation over which 
it passed. An iceberg could not do this: a glacier could. The 
distance between Blomidon and Cow Bay is 62 miles. Drift 
accumulations and drift sections occurring on the lines of rail- 
way, especially the Windsor and Annapolis Railway, were all 
examined, and the amygdaloid boulders were found to increase 
in numbers as we approached their source. 
2. Triassic Amygdaloids (B).—From a distance of 45 miles 
west of Blomidon, amygdaloids have also been transported to 
the Atlantic coast. In the drift cuttings of the Nictaux and 
Atlantic Railway, on the side of the Nictaux River, I found 
amygdaloids of the same character as those of Blomidon, I 
also observed a fine outcrop of Lower Silurian argillities on 
the north of Cleveland Mountain, on the south side of the 
Annapolis Valley. North Mountain, a continuation -of the 
Blomidon range, is on the north side of the valley. The position 
of the glaciated rock-surface is at a height corresponding with 
the general elevation of North Mountain, 600 feet. This 
is the most northerly glacier found in Nova Scotia. The 
Triassic sandstones, which are undoubtedly in the valley, although 
they cannot be seen, must have filled the interval between the two 
mountain ranges in Pre-glacial times to account for the glaciation 
indicated and the passage of the amygdaloids. In my collection 
I have a large amygdaloid boulder which was picked up at Lunen- 
burg, the Atlantic terminus. The Nictaux and Lahave Rivers, 
which nearly meet at their sources, are approximately in the line 
of transport, as are alsoa long chain of lakes. The Nictaux River 
flows northerly into the Annapolis River in the valley: the 
Lahave River, southerly, into the Atlantic. The Nictaux and 
Atlantic Railway runs generally in the same course.
