8 GEOLOGY OF AYLESFORD—HONEYMAN, 
come to the Ormsby Road. Going along the road, before 
crossing the railroad, we have on each side sections of a great 
drift elevation—a “ boar’s back”—whose trend is in the direction 
of the valley N. E.,S. W. This is chiefly sand; but numerous 
small-sized boulders are seen falling from the sides of the 
sections. Some of these are basaltic; others are amygdaloids. 
These also come from the North Mountain; others are granitic; 
still others are purplish quartzites. We will find the last come 
from the South Mountain, as well as the granite boulders. We 
cross the railroad to the east of the Aylesford Station and pro- 
ceed towards the North Mountain. Boulders on the road and 
sides, large and small, are granites, basalts and amygdaloids, &e. 
Other peculiar ones appear and coutinue up the sides of the 
mountain. These are diorites and felsites, &c. In the mean- 
time they are perplexing. They have the aspect of Cobequid 
Mountain Archaean Rocks. On the mountain side there is 
seemingly remnants of the Triassic sandstones. We proceed no 
farther in this direction. 
Proceeding from our headquarters to the South Mountain, 
we cross the Annapolis River and reach the main road. In a 
small branch of the River, over which there is a bridge, we observe 
basaltic boulders. Farther on we observe a pile of stones at a 
barn. These consist largely of basalts. There are a few bould- 
ers of granite. Farther on, on the right (north) side of the road, 
we find embedded in the soil a sizeable boulder of basalt and 
another of granite. We come to the road that leads to the 
South Mountain. Going along this we come to the new bridge 
which has just been built across the Annapolis River, and cross 
it. On either side of this there is a new road. There is 
nothing observed but sand and bog. Beyond this we see 
and chip large boulders of basalt and amygdaloid. Many 
specimens of the latter, we bagged, on account of the beauty and 
variety of their zeolite amygdules. There are also abundance of 
immense granite boulders. We only look at and note these. Ap- 
proaching South Mountain our attention is turned to boulders of 
purplish and red quartzites, with quartz veins and masses of 
gray slates. We ascend the mountain. A very large and
