320 NOVA SCOTIA GEOLOGY—HONEYMAN. 
Glaciation was observed on the side of Water street, near the 
Dockyard, before the I. C. R. was extended to North street. Op- 
posite the Sugar Refinery and on the same street, striation was 
observed last summer. The course of this was, N. 30 W., 8S. 30 
E., mag.; N. 48 W., 8S. 48 E,, true. This is in the direction of 
Blomidon and Observatory Hill. In my first paper I pointed out 
another course of glaciation at Wellington Station, on the I. C. R., 
made by the transportation of the Cobequid Mountain contingent 
on its way to unite with that of Blomidon for the formation of 
Observatory Hill and corresponding accumulations. The diree- 
tion of Wellington Station glaciation is nearly N. and S. true. 
The Cobequid Mountain boulders have travelled overland from 
65 to 70 miles; the Blomidon 60 miles. The massive quartzite 
boulders have travelled between 4 a mile and 8 miles. 
Fort NEEDHAM. 
The elevation so-called has a constitution similar to that of 
Observatory Hill. This, too, has Archean syenite boulders, as 
well as Triassic amygdaloid. I collected specimens of these in 
exposures not far from the glaciation opposite the Sugar Refinery. 
In passing to the west side I ascended the hill. On the top I 
observed quartzite boulders of dimensions not inferior to those of 
Observatory Hill. In the western exposures on Gottingen street 
I collected Archean syenites and diorites, and Triassie amyg- 
daloids. 
On the same street, opposite the Wellington Barracks, exposed 
glaciation is extensive. The general direction corresponds with 
that of Water street, S. 48 E., N. 48 W. 
CITADEL HILL 
furnished Archean and Triassic boulders. On the east side there 
is glaciation having the same direction as the preceding. The 
glaciation of Point Pleasant Park is generally 8S. 38 E., N. 38 W. 
EASTERN EXTENSION. 
Accompanied by Mr. Bell, High Sheriff of Halifax, I proceeded 
last summer to extend my acquaintance with the geology of the 
eastern part of Halifax County. I now give the results of my 
examination of the Superficial Geology.
