NOVA SCOTIAN GEOLOGY—HONEYMAN. 231 
Proceeding onwards we crossed the county line (Digby and 
Yarmouth) coming to Salmon River and Lake Annis, without 
observing anything remarkable. Near Four Mile Lakea cutting 
showed that we had passed from quartzites into coarse mica 
schists. Masses show the micaceous character of the underlying 
rocks. They also show garnets and stawrolites. After this 
masses of quartz were observed indicating a vein or veins- of 
considerable thickness. At Ohio and Hebron rocks were ob- 
served and specimens secured. The rocks are more or less 
hornblendic. This is their character onward to Yarmouth. 
METEGHAN. 
On the day following I returned by railway to Meteghan 
station, for the purpose of investigating the transition between 
the formations already noticed, supposing that there might be a 
section on the shore which might aid in filling up the gap made 
by the 34 miles of obscurity already referred to. Proceeding to 
Meteghan I crossed a branch of Meteghan River, where bold ex-~ 
posures of the station strata were observed in a position not par- 
ticularly inviting. Their extension was found near Meteghan 
Point on the shore, exposed in a manner that left nothing to be 
desired. On the south side of this point is a cove, Turk’s Cove. 
Here the rocks are seen in great magnificence. There is an 
outer and an inner band. The one is much harder and more 
resisting than the other. Of the former the two points of the 
cove are formed. ‘The north side of the cove has been penetrated 
by the sea, and a cave has been formed which is said to extend 
over two hundred feet. This is constantly occupied by the sea. 
I searched in both bands of rocks for fossils without success. 
They are highly metamorphic and contain numerous quartz 
veins. These bands continue exposed along the shore toward 
Cape St. Mary’s, making a rugged coast with numerous coves of 
character similar to that already described. The same strata 
were also frequently observed, exposed on the road side. I did 
not follow the rock exposures on the shore beyond two or three 
miles. I took a short cut to Cape St. Mary’s by following the 
road to Cape Cove. 
The first rock met with of decided character, on the Railway,
