GEOLOGICAL RECREATION—HONEYMAN, 199 
street, we desiderate quiet for a satisfactory examination, the 
more so, as a great Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition is being 
held and our road seems also to be a race course. Our excur- 
sion terminates. Our party after partaking of the feast in the 
Town Hall proceeds to examine and admire the beautiful, exten- 
sive and interesting display of the productions of Princeton and 
the regions around. 
In admiring the extensive prospect from this commanding 
height, we observe Wachussett Mountain to be enveloped in mist, 
and our further progress terminates, to be resumed at some sub- 
sequent time. We proceed homewards, and again wander from 
the straight road, getting a further observation of the Archean 
rocks. It is dark before we reach Barre Plains. We examine 
also the drift sections opposite the Barre Plains station. These 
are a westward continuation of those observed along the line on 
our way to Wachussett. We would now take a trip westward on 
the Central R. R. as far as Ware. Our course is nearly coincident 
with that of Ware river, which flows through Barre Plains. 
Away on the left are the heights of New Braintree, with their 
garnetiferous rocks already examined. On the line of railway 
are recurring drift accumulations exposed in sections. Reaching 
the Ware station we are at our destination. We look at the 
heights on the left. These still extend beyond Ware and then 
seem to terminate. The day is very hot. We only look at them 
and assume that these rocks are of the same character as those of 
Barre Plains and New Braintree. We proceed to an examination 
of the geology of Ware. The only rocks that are seen ate ina 
ledge that crosses the Ware at the Cotton Mills. It is inaccessi- 
ble. We go round about the town without finding any outcrop 
of rocks. On the south-west we climb the elevations and find 
that they are of drift. A sheet of water is on the opposite side. 
At our feet lie two portable and characteristic boulders— 
eneissic—distinctly banded. One is syenitic; the other granitic. 
They remind of boulders in the Museum, Labrador collection, 
and shew that the Archzan rocks of the region include both 
Granitic and Syenitic gneisses. In rounding the sheet of water 
we pass through the beautiful Cemetery, which is a continuation
