characterize them by the capital letter G. These two have been 
subjected to glacial transportation, and hence we have to use the 
small letter (g) in our Central Division Transportation. 
The t. a., accumulations form a grand striking and important 
part of our superficial geology. On the Halifax coast they extend 
along the Terminal moraine. from Osborne Head to Thrum Cap. 
In the Harbour they constitute a large if not the greater part of 
ornwallis or McNab’s Island and George’s Island. On the 
artmouth side of the Harbour, they enter largely into the con- 
stitution of the elevated grounds on which are the Mount Hope 
Asylum. The great deposits of the city, whose names are 
strategic, Fort Massey, Citadel Hill, Camp Hill, Fort Needham, 
&e., and aspect picturesque, have all been proved to be ¢. a. in 
character. These include the Cemeteries, Fort Massey and Camp 
Hill. Thence onward to the vicinity of Blomidon similar de- 
posits are found overlying the hard rocks and soft, as at the 
Cow Bay farm, at the Terminal moraine. 
From Cow Bay to “Three Fathom Harbour,” we have granites 
of frequent occurrence, characterizing the part of the Terminal 
moraine (t. a. g.) 
On the Western side of the Harbour the transported granites, 
(g.) are often roches perches, perched rocks. The most remarkable of 
these is the great “ Rocking Stone” of Spryfield. The “ Eastern 
Division” is sub-divided into two parts by the granitic band 
which we have found intruding into the Central and contribut- 
ing its quota (g.) to the “ Terminal moraine.” This extends east- 
ward to the eastern side of the Division and beyond. Its 
width is about 6 miles. North of this and onward to the Cobi- 
quids we find boulders from the latter (a) scattered broadeast. 
The vermilion wash of this area is consequently dotted with (a.). 
Amyegdaloid boulders are also to be met with, associated with 
the archeean. These are different from the Triassic amygdaloids 
being from older igneous rocks that are found in the Cobequids 
associated with the metamorphic Archean, and are not therefore 
regarded as characteristic. Of these the amygdules are calcite 
or quartz, and are thus easily distinguished from those of Blomi- 
don.
