the Cobequid mountains, 17 miles. Here syenitic boulders are 
found in abundance. From this we went to the Brookfield iron 
(hematite) deposit; thence to the lead mines of Smithfield and 
Pembroke, and then to the “Cross Roads” of Upper Stewiacke 
and “ Round Bank,” Mr. C.’s residence, our course being gener- 
ally easterly. In all this tortuous route syenitic boulders were 
seen in abundance. Like Mr. Bell, Mr. Creelman had become 
greatly interested in my investigations, and he now regards the 
boulders of life-long acquaintance in a new and interesting light. 
The “Cross Roads” just referred to are noted on our maps. The 
striation of Clam Harbour extending northerly passes through 
this point, and cuts the Cobequid mountains in the vicinity of 
“Mount Thom,” Pictou County, where the Archzan belt seems 
to terminate. I consequently expected the syenite and associate 
boulders to diminish in number and gradually disappear to the 
east of the “Cross Roads.” Standing in front of Mr. C.’s residence 
we see Berry-hill on the south side of the Stewiacke River. On 
either side of it there is a depression. The Clam Bay line of 
transit would seem to run along the left depression, while the 
Jeddore would traverse the other. We went to the top of this 
hill (S.). On the table land are several extensive farms. The 
Archean boulders which abound below seem to have almost dis- 
appeared. After a diligent search among stone cairns collected 
out of the cultivated fields, I found only half-a-dozen diorites. 
We traversed a summit road to some distance westward, toward 
the Jeddore line, without observing the looked for boulders. 
Descending northwest on the side of this depression, we came to 
the line of boulder passage (Jeddore line), and reached the region 
of abounding boulders. Afterwards I investigated the region to 
the N. E. of the “Cross Roads.” Contrary to expectation, I found 
Archzean boulders in abundance, as I went along the course of 
the Stewiacke River, toward the Pictou and Colchester County 
line. In the river the abundance of boulders, both large and 
small, was particularly observed as well as their variety and 
beauty. I advanced to within two miles of the County line, and 
found large boulders still occurring. I left off the search for 
their termination at this time.
