198 NOVA SCOTIAN GEOLOGY.—HONEYMAN. 
fulling mill ruins, Igneous rocks were observed, of lower carbon- 
iferous age. 
A short distance above the bridge I examined a mass of lime- 
stone of lower carboniferous aspect. J. McLellan who point- 
ed it out to me, assured me that similar limestone had been 
quarried in the high ground to the east of the mountain road 
and used for building purposes. Farther on the road side and 
mountain sides and summit, outcrops of metamorphic rocks ap- 
pear, they are quartzites and argillites. No member of the Upper 
Arisaig series has thus far been seen on the side of this metamor- 
phic series. The carboniferous bands along it from the Antigonish 
county line to the Marshy Hope road. We shall now examine 
the south on Marshy Hope side. On the road below W. Robert- 
son's and at the watering place for horses, the felsites of the 
mountains appear after the carboniferous outcrops, on the left 
side of the line of railway opposite. At Pushie’s is an interesting 
section of a steep side of the mountain, the rocks of this section 
are felsites and argillite, the felsites containing micaccous hematite 
with pyrite. Beyond this there do not appear any rock exposures 
until we come opposite the Marshy Hope station. Here at a 
bridge over Barney’s River, of the road entering the Sutherland 
settlement, Middle Silurian strata (A) outcrop. Entering the 
settlement we find argillites with quartzites on the side of a 
tributary of Barney’s River. On the summit of the mountain at 
Sutherland’s Argillite outcrops. These resemble the James River 
Fall rocks. The latter are in Antigonish county—9 miles east, 
from the Sutherland mountain outcrop. The Middle Silurian 
(A) strata of the bridge extend into Antigonish county as far as 
Lindsay’s stables. At McLean’s they are cut by the line of rail- 
way, after this the railway passes them on the south. I discovered 
these many years ago with them. Lingulew, Petraia and Cor- 
nulites were also found in them from time to time. I was ae- 
companied by the Rev. Mr. Goodfellow and son, when I made 
my recent examination. We found Petraia forresteri (Salter) in 
the strata at Lindsay’s stables. At McLean’s we found abund- 
ance of Cyclonema, Orthis and Lingula associated with the 
characteristic Athyris (casts) and Crinoidea. From the moun-
