328 NOVA SCOTIA GEOLOGY — HONEYMAN. 
metamorphic rocks, in sight of the Cobequid mountains, and its 
very distinct glaciation, led me to regard it as a very interesting 
object. In my paper of 1875-6, I quoted an observation from a 
table in “ Acadian Geology,” a position at the Gore having stria- 
tion with a course 8.20 E. I had resolved to search for this 
striation. This roche saves me the trouble, and seems to furnish 
a suflicient reason, in connection with other observations, to 
which I shall yet refer in a future paper, for the distribution of 
boulders to the east of Clam Harbour line. It also gives occasion 
to modify certain conclusions at which I had arrived in my first 
Paper. Coming from the N. E., I searched as far as Elmsdale for 
boulders and minerals from the Triassic eruptive rocks, which 
extend as far east as Five Islands, without finding any. In my 
Paper of 1875-6, I stated that I had found specimens in the 
clays of Enfield. Last summer I found a specimen as I was 
approaching the top of Grand Lake from the Enfield station. 
Enfield, therefore, seems to be the limit of their distribution in 
this direction. The other extreme points seem to be half-a-mile 
beyond Gore. On the old Guysboro’ road, the east end of Pres- 
ton and the west point of Five Fathom Harbor. These two seem 
to be a sort of outliers, while extreme points of the main triassic 
amygdaloid transportations are Fletcher’s station on the Interco- 
lonial, Navy Island, on the east side of Bedford Basin, Dartmouth 
Cove and Laurencetown, at Half-Island. 
GRAND LAKE—(CENE FORMATION.) 
While investigating the Pleistocene Geology around Grand 
Lake, I directed attention to the Lacustrine forms which'I be- 
lieved, in common with others, to be “Prehistoric Pottery.” (Pro- 
ceedings 1879-80.) I examined these 2msitu, and secured several 
specimens. I was therefore led to entertain some doubts in 
regard to their artificial formation. A chemical examination 
showed me that the supposed plastie portion of the article was 
Hydrous iron sesquioxide, and that the supposed pottery was 
“ Lacustrine hematite coneretions,’ We have therefore in Grand 
Lake a new formation in progress of a singular construction.
