128 NOVA SCOTIAN GEOLOGY—-HONEYMAN. 
River, extends eastward to the north of Milner’s Mine, and may 
even be concealed in the obscure interval noticed in the Moose 
River section. My additional reason for supposing its existence 
near Milner’s is, that the specimen of quartzite containing the 
singular forms already referred to (Diary Wednesday), as received 
from Mr, Ditmars, was found there. On comparing the specimen 
with others from Bogart’s quartzite, I find that they are identi- 
cal even in accidental structwre, such as quartz veins. The 
position of this quartzite relative to the Asaphus ditmarsie 
strata, according to this analogy, will be about a quarter of a 
mile north, and therefore (geologically) considerably lower. Sup- 
posing the former to be of Middle Silurian, the latter may be 
assigned to the Lower Silurian period. 
There is considerable variety in the strike and dip of the strata 
of the area. 
The red slates in Deep Brook (Ditmars’s) have a strike N. 55 
E., 8. 55 W., and a vertical dip. 
The red and grey slates of Clementsport have a strike N.60 E., 
S. 60 W., and a dip 43 8. 
The strata of the Iron works have a strike N. 55 E., 8. 55 W., 
and a dip 8. 51 8., also a strike N. 40 E., 8. 40 W., and a dip 40 
N. They seem to be folded. 
The same below the Bridge of Moose River have a strike N. 45 
E., S. 45 W., and a dip 48 8. 
The strata in Moose River have a strike N. 60 E., 8. 60 W., and 
a dip 65, 8. 30 W. 
The strike of the micaceous slates in the vicinity of Diorite 
@) is. N..75 EB, 8.75 W.,.dip 74°. 
The strata of the outcrop of Purdy’s Mountain (diary Friday) 
have a strike N. 50 E., S. 50 W., and a vertical dip. 
The black fossiliferous slates of the outcrop in Bear River, 
above bridge, have a vertical dip, and also a dip 68, N. 30 W. 
The fossiliferous sandstones at Rice’s Mill, Bear River, have a 
strike S. 60 W., N. 60 E., and a vertical dip. 
The formation of these crystalline Diorites here, as elsewhere, 
e.g.,and East river, Pictou, and Nictaux, Annapolis, have been the 
cause of the prevailing metamorphism and disturbance of the
