204 NOVA SCOTIAN GEOLOGY.—HONEYMAN. 
this and Homalonotus dawsoni it differs in being distinetly 
trilobute ; the others have their furrows deep and continuous 
from side to side; this has the side furrows coming opposite to 
the ridges of the axis. It is much stouter than the others. The 
specimens are more or less distorted by metamorphism, the con- 
taining strata being highly metamorphie. 
The first appearance of homalonotus in the typical Arisaig 
series 1s in Bb’, where it is associated with casts of pentumerus 
oblongus. 
This leads me to refer the strata in question to B’. The asso- 
ciation of the large lingule seems to indicate the same horizon, 
as they are found in the same position at Arisaig. These are the 
only lingulee found as far as I know at East River. Discina is 
larger than discina of D Springville; it more resembles the 
disecina of B’, French River. The form referred to incerta sedis 
resembles the valves of a pholus open. It is finely striated across. 
These considerations led me to consider the mountain strata 
as the upper part of B* of the series. 
On the McLellan’s mountain road, at the back ef MeGillivray’s 
is a deserted farth, succeeding an obscure forest area. Here I 
observed strata which resemble fossiliferous A strata highly 
metamorphic. I did not sueceed in finding fossils in them. I 
found a petraia forrestert in the bed of Holmes’ Brook which 
might have come from a part of these strata, as this brook passes 
not far from the said old farm. The strata of this farm extended 
in the line of strike, cross the section line, near the position of 
Tron Ove No. 1. 
This Iron ore is now an old acquaintance. It is 25 years, 
less six weeks, since I was first introduced to it by the late Rev. 
A. McGillivray. Then it was scattered all around his mountain 
farm. Every cairn of stones had its large masses and small 
pieces of beautifully erystallized brown Hematite. This led Mr. 
McGillivray naturally enough to suppose that the vein of ore was 
situate within the bounds of his farm, and that its discovery 
would add to the value of his property, especially as the General 
Mining Association was supposed to have no reservation except 
for Gold, Silver, and Lapis Laculi. Every year, about the same
