3. Archean Gneisses, &c. (B)—Eight miles from the north-east 
termination of Nova Scotia, near Cape St. George, Antigonish 
County, on the Northumberland Strait, is the “Typical Archean 
Series,’ which I first recognized in 1866. Dana, in his ‘Manual 
of Geology’ (1674), gave it the name “ Archean,” which I have 
since adopted. I found the boulders of the series, on the shore 
and in the drift, at Ogden’s, Gypsum Bluff, St. George’s Bay. 
The largest boulders on the shore are very striking in appearance. 
It is more than twenty years since I first noticed them. It was 
then supposed that they had been carried from the coast of 
Labrador. The identical rock was easily recognized among the 
series on the Northumberland Strait, associated with crystalline 
limestones and serpentines. There is no apparent glaciation, 
but a line drawn on the Admiralty chart from the rock in situ 
to the drift-section of St. George’s Bay coincides exactly with 
the line of Blomidon transportation. 
Fiords.—Looking at our chart, we observe that the Strait of 
Canso, which separates Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, and which 
enters St. George’s Bay, runs parallel with our last Archean 
transportation line. All the harbours of Nova Scotia, from the 
Strait of Canso to Ship Harbour, where the great granite belt 
ends, are approximately parallel. From Ship Harbour to Hali- 
fax Harbour, the harbours conform with the changed direction 
of transportation. Halifax Harbour, Bedford Basin, and the 
Kstuary of the Avon are approximately in the line of the Blomi- 
don amygdaloid transportation, and are only about eight miles 
apart. 
Remarks.—The Archzan of Northumberland Strait lies (14°) 
north of the Archzean of the Cobequids. The transportation 
could not originate there ; we must, therefore, look beyond Nova 
Scotia. This consideration led me to refer to Logan’s ‘ Geology 
of Canada,’ (1863). Examining the Tables of Glaciation Grooves, 
{ found that the S. E. courses to the N. E., N., and N. W. of 
Nova Scotia, prevailing over the 8. W. in the proportion of two 
to one. The Nova Scotia transportation is, therefore, a contin-
