GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF NOVA SCOTIA—HONEYMAN. 7665; 
having fauna and flora from the formations that occur in the 
region traversed, the transporting agency having levied on every 
formation that lay in its path, and discharged its freight on and 
in the Atlantic. Vide. List of specimens exhibited in the Nova 
Scotian department in the Centennial Exhibition, Philadelphia, 
1876. Trans. 1877 and 1886. In further illustration of our 
subject I intend only to record investigations of the present 
year yet unpublished, while I may incidentally refer to previous 
records. 
Cow Bay revisited, 1887. 
The experience of 14 years led me to expect the finding of 
new points of interest which had been overlooked at the first. 
The season being more advanced, the day was beautiful, the sea 
view charming ; the lake, which is separated from the sea by 
two raised beaches and an intervening terrace, was adorned with 
fields of white water lilies (Mymphcea odorata), basking in the 
bright sunshine. Coming to the shore, attention was attracted by 
an amygdaloid boulder—a traveller from Blomidon. It lies 
before me in my new representative collection ; its colour is dark 
brown; its amygdules are heulandite and stilbite. Another 
distinctive boulder was next observed and added to our collection. 
This is of Syenitic gneiss from Archean rocks of the Cobequid 
Mountains. The distance from Cow Bay to Blomidon is 65 
iniles. The middle of the Cobequids is 15 miles further. At 
first I connected associate boulders with Osborne Head. This 
has its own beach and boulders. Our first discovered boulders 
and the present came from a low section of Mosher’s farm, on 
which is the road to the shore. This farm is chiefly composed 
of glacial drift. It is also part of the “Terminal Moraine.” I 
have incidentally noticed a terrace which separates the fresh 
water lake from the sea. This extends to a considerable distance. 
Its groves of scraggy spruce afford convenience and shelter for 
picnic parties. A cart road passes along the middle. It has a 
ridge of sea-worn boulders next the lake and a large bank of 
similar boulders next the sea. Shelving in this direction it is 
succeeded by beautiful sand flats, in which Hchinarachnius 
parma abound. The boulders of the ridges and terrace are
