GLACIAL DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA—HONEYMAN. XV 
3. Archean Gneisses, dc. (A.)\—On the north of Blomidon, 
at a distance of 13 miles, is the south side of the Archean 
rocks of the Cobequid Mountains. This range extends from 
Cape Chignecto, on the Bay of Fundy, through Nova Scotia, 
to a distance of ninety miles. Boulders have been transported 
from it in a direction, indicated by glaciation, 5. 20 E. mag, 
the same as the Blomidon amygdaloids. These are spread 
broadeast in the eastern part of Colchester County and the 
County of Hants, which bound Halifax County on the north. 
(Vide papers in the “ Transactions of the Nova Scotian Institute 
of Natural Science,” 1881-2 and 1882--3). In Halifax County 
they are largely intercepted by a great belt of granite, which is 
geuerally six miles wide, extending from Major’s Lake, near 
Waverley Gold Mines, on the west, to Ship Harbour on the east. 
Some of the Cobequid boulders reach the shore along the course 
of the Musquodoboit River, and other breaks in the granite 
belt, 2. e., a granitic transportation takes the place of the other, the 
boulders of the latter having to be closely searched for among the 
abounding granite boulders at Musquodoboit Harbour and Clam 
Bay. At the Waverley (W.) end of the granites, or rather at the 
end of another granite occurring farther north, which seems to 
ecme into a line of it, the Cobequid boulders have found a better 
passage. Their course became changed to 8. W., as is seen by 
the glaciation of the Cambrian argillites at the Intercolonial 
Railway, near the Grand Lake. This brings them into Bedford 
Basin, Halifax Harbour, and the City. The Archean trans- 
portation thus unites with the Triassic, so as to predominate 
over the latter. The combined transportation then deposits the 
accumulations at Laurence Town, Cow Bay, and at Eastern 
Passage, Halifax Harbour, at Thrum Cap, McNab’s Island, and 
George's Island in the Harbour, at Point Pleasant, Fort Massey, 
Fort George, Observatory Hill, H. M. Dockyard, and Fort Need- 
ham, and at Navy Island, Bedford Basin (‘ Trans., 1881-2.) 
In like manner the great and extensive granites (B) on the 
west side of Halifax Harbour, in their extension toward Blomi- 
don, at Bedford, intercept a part of the amygdaloids, and in turn 
are transported towards the Atlantic. Some of these boulders
