which crosses the Musquodoboit River. From Middle Musquodo- 
boit we proceeded to Upper Musquodoboit; course, E. Deep 
cuttings of drift and vast numbers of syenite boulders, large and 
small, were observed. Reaching the road leading to the Cariboo 
Gold Mine, we turned in the direction of the mine; 8. On the 
South side of the Musquodoboit River we returned to Middle 
Musquodoboit, observing syenite boulders all the way through, 
but not in so great a number as we observed on the north side, 
by which we went. 
From Middle Musquodoboit we went to Gay’s River ; course, 
N. W. On this road we found the drift banks very numerous. 
and very deep cuttings, showing abundance of syenite boulders ; 
great and small boulders of dioritic amygdaloids were also found 
with amygdals of calcite. At Gay’s River we advanced into Col- 
chester County as far as the “Gay’s River Gold Field.” On this 
road syenitic boulders were also observed. Returning by the 
same road to Halifax County, we proceeded to Elmsdale by the 
old road; 8. W. Drift, with syenitic boulders, was observed all 
the way. A short distance beyond the road to Milford, syenitic 
boulders were particularly noticed beside a “roche moutonnee” 
very singularly rutted. Here the Cobequid Mountains, the source 
of the syenitic boulders, were seen in the distance, without any 
intervening elevations. 
From Elmsdale we returned to Dartmouth and Halifax city. 
Between Elmsdale and Waverley we missed the familiar drift, 
with syenitic boulders. Instead of these we had another granite 
transportation from the belt of granite which is seen from the 
Intercolonial Railway, on the east side of Fletcher's Lake, as we 
pass by Railway from “Windsor Junction” to the “ Wellington 
Station.” We now come to the end of the old Guysboro’ road, 
which we have already travelled twice. 
Part IV.—COoLCHESTER COUNTY. 
I resumed my investigation in this County, accompanied by 
the Hon. Samuel Creelman, Chief Commissioner of Mines of Nova 
Scotia. We proceeded by railway to the Brookfield Station. 
This station is distant from Three Fathom Harbour 43 miles ; from
