GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF NOVA SCOTIA—HONEYMAN. 85 
Scotia, far-travelled blocks would have been of frequent 
occurrence. But without high ranges northwards, and with its 
own hills only of moderate elevation, we find as we might expect 
that the blocks are easily traced to their parent rock. Some 
boulders of granite have been carried farther because here and 
there granite hills rise above the general elevation of the coun- 
try.” Here we have two theories antagonistic to each other and 
both antagonistic to our glacial theory. I think that our grand 
array of facts summarily disposes of both. In opposition to 8 
mile transportation we have proved 80 miles. As our glacier is 
only one of a system, see “ Our Glacial Problem,” Trans. 1884-5, 
high mountains to the north of Nova Scotia may or may not be 
found necessary. : 
We give the “sea agency” due credit for making such accu- 
mulations as the “Terrace” at Cow Bay, for destroying largely 
our “Terminal Moraine,” and for scattering its material in the 
sea and along the sea shore. We will give it and other post 
glacial agencies (Champlain and recent) credit for aiding the 
advancing and retreating glacier itself in obstructing and destroy- 
ing the glacial highway, such as in the forming of the Minas 
Basin and in scooping out and scattering the material, solid and 
superficial, so as to render any similar movement now impossible 
and to bewilder and mislead observers. We have thus also new 
accumulations formed and boulders scattered to the north, east 
and west of their original positions. Vide Geology of Kings 
and Annapolis Counties. Trans., Vol. V., page 29, and Geology 
of Aylesford (Annapolis County). Trans. 1886-7.
