NOVA SCOTIAN GEOLOGY—HONEYMAN. 239) 
corresponding with Cape St. Mary’s black strata, and as forming 
an anticline with the latter. 
I have before shewed that the strike of the Cape St. Mary 
black argillites is 8. 70 W., N. 70 E., and the dip vertical. The 
strike of Deveu’s argillites, as observed on the shore, is S. 50 W., 
N. 50 E., and their dip 45° S, 40 W. The latter are very 
pyritous, cubical crystals occupying the lines of bedding and mak- 
ing beautifully brilliant lines in the sunshine. This is not a 
characteristic of the black argillites of Cape St. Mary. I have 
noticed the occurrence of milky quartz in the latter. The 
pyritous argillites are replete with quartz veins. The black 
pyritous argillites of Jebogue Point with quartz veins are more 
nearly analogous. The division between the two great series of 
rocks is the diorite already noticed as intervening between the 
Cape Cove strata and Deveu’s strata. We have thus a division 
corresponding with the Bloomington Road division at Nictaux, 
and at Gordon’s on the King’s County side of Annapolis and 
King’s County line. Zvransactions 1877-8. 
While we note this point of resemblance I would also note the 
following points of difference: At Bloomington Road, Nictaux, 
the diorite is seen to occupy nearly the entire space between the 
two formations, there being only a very narrow interval of ob- 
security between the diorite which immediately underlies the 
fossiliferous strata of the ferriferous on the north and the 
eneisscid strata at Wheelock’s, of the auriferous formation, on 
the south. At Gordon’s, near the New Canaan Road on the 
King’s County side of the county line, the diorite has corres- 
ponding fossiliferous strata on the north, and only a short dis- 
tance of obscurity between the diorite and the singularly 
plicated gneissoid stratu, of the other formation on the south. 
In the locality under examination the diorite is in immediate 
contact with the lowest strata of the ferriferous formation in 
Cape Cove, while there is an obscure interval of one mile be- 
tween the diorite and Devew’s black argillites of the auriferous 
formation. 
CARBONIFEROUS. 
There is yet another point of interest to which I would direct
