NOVA SCOTIAN GEHOLOGGY.—HONEYMAN. 201 
Diorite. Division No. 3 runs N. 82 E., a distance of 2.2 miles to 
John MeDonald’s Hill, Blanchard, passing through Middle Silu- 
rian strata A. At McDonald’s hill it cuts an intersecting outcrop 
of D strata (Upper Silurian) with characteristic fossils. Division 
No. 4 passes N. 59 E., a distance of 0.6 of a mile, at its termina- 
tion it cuts the Blanchard Iron Ore. This is a bed of fossilifer- 
ous red hematite 3) feet thick. The ore and the containing 
strata have fossils characteristic of A (Middle Silurian). I will 
eall this Iron Ore. No. 2. Division No. 5 runs S. 45 E., a dis- 
tance of 3 miles: The half of this distance, 2.5 miles, it passes 
through Middle Silurian strata and then it reaches crystalline 
metamorphic rocks of Archean age (Lower Arisaig)., It traver- 
ses these a distance of 2.5 miles to McPhee’s, still on the north 
side of East River division. It continues in the same direction 
8. 45 E., a distance of 0.6 of a mile, crossing the river and pass- 
ing into a band of black metamorphic. Middle Silurian strata. 
These have an east and west strike. At a farther distance of 6.8 
miles, west, we reach the first outerop of Iron ore at McDonald’s, 
due south of Blanchard. I shall name this Iron Ore No. 3. 
REMARKS ON THE DIVISIONS OF SecTIoN LINE No. 2. 
Division 1. 
The series of Silurian rocks of this division might be regarded 
as a typical series, if Arisaig did not put in a prior and superior 
claim. 1 shall consider the series of Springville in the order of 
its development: D. strata at McLean’s have received the most 
attention on account of the abundance of fossils. The fossils and 
their order of occurrences correspond in a striking manner with the 
typical D at Moydart, Arisaig Township. 
The fossils are, with a few exceptions, of the same orders, genera 
and species; the niode of their occurrence and association remark- 
ably corresponds. A ledge on the height at the back of MeLean’s 
and to the north of Dafid’s lake, has precisely the same fauna as 
a corresponding ledge at Moydart. The fauna are Cornulites flex- 
uwosus, Homalonotus dawsont, Spirifer subsuleatus and Avicula 
honeymani, associated and in abundance. The only differ- 
ence is in the degree of metamorphism and in the state of preser- 
vation. All the strata of the series of Springville are more highly
