GEOLOGY OF ALYESFORD—HONEYMAN. a 
Aylesford Station. On the north of the line the usual basaltic, 
amygdaloid and granite boulders are of frequent occurrence— 
sometimes singly, at other times in heaps. Large boulders have 
been utilized in the construction of fences, for supports of poles. 
The basalts are of the usual kind, occasionally they are olivinetie. 
The red amyegdaloids occasionally have large amygdules of 
mesolites, beautifully radiating. We collect from these bould- 
ers. Our work is interrupted. We resume. Commencing at 
the Osborne Road, we make another inroad on the South Moun- 
tain. Proceeding along the Mili Village Road, we have our 
boulders, granites, basalts and amyegdaloids. At the foot of the 
Mountain, before reaching the Methodist Church, we find amygda- 
loid boulders of great size, with equally large basalts and 
granites. Silurian strata, shales, are also seen outcropping. Out- 
crops of slates succeed, and boulders. We are now in search 
of the Canaan Road. Boulders continue, but rocks are ob- 
secured. Granite boulders predominate, but basalts and amygda- 
loids are still plentiful. We reach high ground and commence 
descent into a valley. Here we notice particularly large 
amygdaloid and basaltic boulders.. The former are deeply em- 
bedded in the road. Descending, we observe several sections of 
metamorphic slates. These and all the strata we have already 
noticed seem to be destitute of fossils. We reach the Canaan 
Road and the site of a saw mill. We are informed that the 
part of the road which connects this with that of our previous 
examination is only a foot-path through the forest. Going 
along the road in an easterly direction we observe diorite 
boulders similar to those observed on the Ormsby Road and 
the sides of North Mountain. We are interested and search for 
others. We find the same variety as on North Mountain, and 
best of all we find the diorite in situ. We walk to some dis- 
tance along the road, observing occasional outcrops of shales and 
amygdaloid boulders. Finding that we are going in the direc- 
tion. of the strike we return. Before coming to the saw mill we 
reach a farm, where the Mountain on the south seems to be 
accessible. Expecting to meet with granites as in our course of 
a preceding day, we make for the highest ground. Only
