NOVA SCOTIAN GEOLOGY—HONEYMAN. 1b? 
piece of sandstone from the same strata as the preceding. This 
has on one side impressions of Lingulelle, which might be 
questioned as such if not associated with those I have already 
described. The rock itself is interesting; its edges are coated 
with microscopic crystals of quartz, and the whole might be 
designated a quartzite. The second specimen is a piece of ar- 
gillite having four fossils ef larger dimensions than those just 
described. 
Mr. Sutherland found this specimen in the rock, on the 
same Ridge, (Mira,) a mile nearer Gabarus, than the £ingullela 
sandstone. One of the specimens has fine concentric lines, which 
another shows to be lines of growth. They are inequilateral. 
Their length exceeds their width in the proportion of 4 to 3. 
The length of two of the specimens is »; of another, 3. There 
are no muscular or pallial impressions. We have thus evidence 
of the existence of a fossiliferous band of 2} miles in width ex- 
tending from Marion Bridge, southwards, towards Gabarus, and 
intervening between the carboniferous of Mira and the erystal- 
line and suberystalline rocks of Gabarus. 
Mr. Sutherland has also sent a specimen from Gabarus, in 
which are forms, which might be mistaken for fossils. 
These discoveries of Mr. Sutherland’s are very interesting, in 
consequence of their approach to the Louisburg and Gabarus rocks. 
Some of which have been referred by the Geological Survey of 
Canada to “ Snowdon.and Cader Idris, voleanie accumulations,” 
and to the Huronian age of Canada. I have elsewhere referred 
them to my “ Middle Arisaig Series,” 7. e. Cambrian. 
My investigations in Annapolis and King’s Counties, vide 
papers last Session and this (next paper), have directed my at- 
tention to a specimen in the “ Webster Collection,” of the Pro- 
vincial Museum. 
When I received and arranged this collection some years ago, 
I found in it a slab of sandstone thickly studded with Lingulellae 
I then considered it as a Potsdam Sandstone rock and placed it 
in the lowest position in the collection, as “ Acadian Geology ” 
led me to infer nothing lower in the collection than Niagara 
Limestones. I also concluded that the specimen was not Nova
