322 NOVA SCOTIA GEOLOGY—HONEYMAN, 
the abounding granite boulders. I suppose they may have 
reached this point by travelling along the course of the Musquo- 
doboit River. 
JEDDORE. 
We observed only granite transportation until we came to 
Jeddore. Then road cuttings gave promise of something differ- 
ent; but as we intended to go as far as Clam Harbour, we left. 
the examination of this drift until our return. Approaching our 
destination we observed on the road a considerable outcrop of 
quartzite with glaciation. At the entrance of the Clam Harbour 
road, a large outcrop of argillite, which is beautifully glaciated, 
was passed, and we came soon to our terminus. 
CLAM HARBOUR. 
Looking around this locality, I observed some exposures of the 
familiar drift of the usual reddish colour, and found syenitic and 
dioritic boulders. This led me to expect other exposures on the 
shore. We made for Clam Bay. The impression made by the 
first view of this Bay will not readily be effaced. It has a sweep 
of about 11 miles, as far as Jeddore Head, and is washed by the 
broad Atlantic. It was ebb-tide, showing the greatest extent of 
its wide beach and white sands. On the bank was observed an 
exposure of red drift. In this I collected syenites, diorites, &e. 
From this point, the similarity of the several drift banks extend- 
ing to Jeddore Head was readily recognizable. Not having an 
opportunity to examine these, I resolved upon doing what was 
next best,—upon examining carefully the exposures already 
referred to as occurring upon the road, regarding these, as corres- 
ponding with the lofty banks on the side of the bay. Connected 
with our drift bank, and partially overlying it, a marine forma- 
tion is in progress, washed and heaped up by the Atlantic waves 
and storms. This sand is beautifully white, being chiefly formed 
of the siliceous and micaceous detritus of the transported granite. 
In this formation we have— 
1 Ripple marking. 
2 Rill marking. 
3 Worm tracks.
