238 NOVA SCOTIAN GEOLOGY—HONEYMAN, 
Cowan of Digby Neck. On the way to the light-house I observed 
outcrops of strata whose strike is in the direction of Cape Point. 
Mr. Cowan informed me that these are exposed in a fine sec- 
tion at the point. 
Not having an opportunity of examining the said section 
when with Mr. Cowan, I made a subsequent attempt with Mr. 
Johns, of the Yarmouth Bank, but did not succeed owing to 
rainy weather. 
The rocks exposed on the road are hornblendic, being identical! 
with the rock masses met with at Lake George. The light-house 
band which lies on the south of these is a singular schist. It is 
hornblendic and micaceous on the north side of the harbour; 
towards the light-house it becomes light green in colour and 
homogeneous in appearance. The strike of these is N.35 E, 
S. 35 W. These rocks are evidently a continuation of rocks 
seen outcroping toward the line of railway. At the head of the 
harbour beside the railway station I examined a slaty rock which 
is soft and fine grained. This isan outcrop of the harbour strata. 
Specimens of slaty rock, having hornblende beautifully plumose, 
were brought to me when I was on the point of leaving. Masses 
pointed out to me as the rocks that produced the specimens, were 
seen to abound in similar hornblendie figures. These are evidently 
derived from the Yarmouth underlying strata. 
BEAVER RIVER TO CAPE COVE. 
Uniting Church’s maps of Yarmouth and Digby Counties, I 
found that there were several miles intervening between Beaver 
River and Cape Cove which I had not examined; this was by 
no means satisfactory. Mr. Johns readily offered to aid me in this 
work. Considering it advisable to resume my former investiga- 
tions where I had discontinued them, we made direct for Z. 
Deveu’s at Cape Cove. Following the strike of the black 
argillites, with quartz veins exposed at Deveu’s, towards the 
shore, we found a great section extending southward toward a 
distant point. Before reaching the point the colour changed from 
black to grey. I was at once convinced that I had misunder- 
stood the character of Deveu’s strata in regarding them as
