GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF NOVA SCOTIA—HONEYMAN, vive 
to all the collections. I label the collections from each locality 
immediately, as it is the only way that I can distinguish them. 
They are allso much alike. I have also come to regard Triassic 
amyegdaloids and basalts as characteristic ( foss/s) of Postpliocene. 
accumulations of the “Cow Bay Type.” 
Point PLEASANT. 
There is an accumulation of the above character at this Point. 
This is the site of an old battery which protected the boom which 
formerly crossed the North West Arm. The shore section of this 
is renovated every spring by the agencies—frost, thaws and sea- 
storms. Lying to the south of the Tower glaciation, and being 
otherwise conveniently situated, it is very frequently visited and 
levied upon. Thus the representative amygdaloids become at 
times rather rare. Under my guidance members of the Institute 
often go there. Professor Richards, of the Massachusetts 
Institute of Technology with associates and students have twice 
examined it and collected specimens. Members of the British 
Association, after the Montreal meeting, also visited it. Last 
spring I also conducted thither the teachers of the Halifax 
Science School. This section shows also a massive quartzite 
boulder beautifully grooved and striated, being evidently a part 
of the machine that grooved and planed the Point Pleasant rocks. 
The other localities where the phenomenon has been particularly 
noticed are Osborne Head, Cow Bay (as above), and Thrum- 
Cap, Cornwallis or McNab’s Island. Vide my Papers in Trans- 
actions of the Royal Society of Canada, Vol. IIT., and in the Royal 
Jubilee Number (1887) of the Journal of the Society of Science, 
Letters and Art, London. This seems to be a characteristic of 
the “ Terminal Moraine,” of which the Point Pleasant accumula- 
tions seems to be a part. 
GLACIATION. 
In my constitutional walks in the south side of the city I have 
been giving special attention to the phenomena of glaciation. 
I have found in the streets, especially those newly and _ partially 
made, and on the north side of Pleasant Park, a sort of a series
