GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF CAPE BRETON—HONEYMAN. 339 
Mines and Cape Mabou on the shore. The greater part of it is 
therefore to us a new field. In this paper we do not follow the 
order of examination as recorded in our diary. We take the 
shortest mode of recording the results. 
We enter the Highlands by a road which turns from that to 
the Broad Cove Coal Mines at the Strathlorne Post Office. 
Crossing a brook we ascend. Red Clays with Archzean boulders 
large and small are exposed in the deep ruts made by recent 
rains. Next we see among the boulders chocolate coloured sand- 
stones outcropping. These show that the front (?) hills are Lower 
Carboniferous. We come to an extensive valley having farms. 
Traversing this for some distance we come to the second and last 
outcrop of sandstones. Farther on we again ascend. On our 
right we have the first outcrop of the Archean rocks. They are 
hornblendic. Onward we observe other outcrops on the road 
and sides. These are illustrated by the varied character of the 
boulders on the road. We have got to a considerable height, 
commanding an extensive and lovely view. The object of special 
interest is Lake Ainslie, which we can see as far as McLean’s 
Point opposite our second glacial striation. Wé take an observa- 
tion. Our station now is in the middle of what we may call the 
Strathlorne division of the Archean, (taking McAuley Brook as 
the dividing line.) AS. E. magnetic course passes through the 
middle of Loch Ban and across Lake Ainslie. We continue our 
ascent. Outcrops still appear on the road. An extensive table 
land is now reached. Thisis largely occupied by extensive farms- 
We have now a guide leading us to the summit of Cape 
Mabou. We reach the watershed where White Brook and 
McAuley’s Brook are only separated by the road. Here are out- 
crops of Gneisses, Hornblendic Schists, etc. Of these we collect 
specimens. Weproceedand reachthesummit. We take a speci- 
men of the highest rock or rather boulder as no outcrops are to 
be seen. Descending, we re-examine the various outcrops and 
the grana supply of boulders on the road, which would furnish a 
glacier with a goodly freight of prepared material, as the ancient 
glaciers have found a like plentiful debris of the past, ready made 
for transportation. Thisand other Archzan ranges which largely
