stratified rocks. Two of the Diorites present the same phe- 
nomena at their point of contact with the strata, as are found in 
the localities specified, coalescense as if from contact while the 
Diorites were in fusion. There is in fact a blending of the crys- 
talline and uncrystalline rocks. To the same cause the peculiar 
condition (magnetic) of some of the bedded ores is also to be 
assigned. 
Quartzose and Mieaceous.—This seems to indicate in a peculiar 
manner the origin of the strata as well as their relation to the asso- 
ciated rocks. The material has such a granitic character as to 
impress the conviction that it has been derived from the associ- 
ated granite. It thus teaches the same lesson as the condition of 
the uncrystalline rocks in contact with granites at Nictaux.—

Red and gray argillites of the Moose river section, Bear river 
and Deep brook, seem to throw light on the geological relations 
of similar strata at Wolfville and Kentville. Here we have 
palzontological aid, which was much desiderated, especially at 
Wolfville (Paper in Transactions, 1878-9.)
