Naturalist, Aug., 1866, page 199. Ido not consider the appli- 
eation as of much importance.* 
CORRECTION. 
I used the expression “antiquated” in characterizing the views 
of Sir W. E. Logan. This was an improper application of the 
word to Sir W.’s views as expressed in 1870. I then had refer- 
ence to the views entertained in 1855, and did not eonsider that 
it was my own observations in 1869 that disposed of the Dev- 
onian at McLellan’s Mountain. 
GRANITES. 
Archean. 
In the typieal “ Lower Arisaig series” granites have not yet 
been found. Quartz veins with mica are found penetrating the 
Petrosiliceous rocks of the series. In Cape Breton coarse gran- 
ites are of very frequent occurrence among rocks of the series. 
In the Cobequid Mountains they also oceur. In this respect the 
rocks of this series correspond with the Laurentian formation of 
Saint John, New Brunswick. I consider these granites to be the 
oldest in Nova Scotia, i. e., according to present. appearances.

Granites. 
“The Granite of Nova Scotia and its associated gneisses and 
lica slates are among the oldest rocks found in the Province.’— 
“Acadian Geology,” 1868, page 622.

“As the Granite is itself of Devonian Age.” “ Acadian Geolo- 
ay,” page 500. 
Sir Wm. E. Logan, the late Director, regarded, and Mr. Selwyn- 
the present Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, regards 
the Granites as all of the same age—Devoniun. 
Professor H. Y. Hind considers the Cape Breton and Nova 
Scotian Granites to be Laurentian Gneisses. 
I have shown in my paper “on Geology of Annapolis County 
—Nictanx,” that the Granites underlie (almost unaltered) Middle
