INTRODUCTION. 
ApovuT the middle of July last I resumed my investigations in 
the Geology of Annapolis county. My main object, however, 
was the investigation of the geological relations of the Iron de- 
posits of Moose river. They have already been connected and 
correlated with the Iron deposits of Nictaux. Both have been 
assigned to the Devonian period. 
I have in a preceding paper referred the Nictaux deposits to 
the Middle Silurian age (Transactions, 1877-8), and for the time 
in a manner separated them from the Iron deposits of Moose 
river. I was prepared, however, for a reunion of both. The fact 
that the gigantic trilobite, Asaphus ditmarsic, was found in the 
magnetite of Moose river had led to the belief that it too was 
of Middle or possible Lower Silurian age. 
DIARY. 
Tuesday, 15th—On my way to Moose river I observed gran- 
ites to the south of the Lawrencetown Railway station. This is 
almost due north of the approximate western limit of the Nic- 
taux Iron bearing strata. From Lawrencetown onward to 
Annapolis the only rocks observed outcropping are granites. 
I had an opportunity of observing the granites to a distance
