342 GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF CAPE BRETON—HONEYMAN. 
Gneisses. This is the only outcrop. Up to the summit is vege- 
tation. Beech trees, &c., almost cover the top. There is no 
undergrowth. The view is extensive and beautiful. Loch Ban 
and Lake Ainslie and the region of Black River, which we had 
previously examined, are beautifully defined. 
We would now proceed to work on our First Parallel. 
On our way to’ Mabou, beyond the Black River Road, Archzean 
Boulders appeared the greater part of the way, then become: 
rare or disappeared altogether, and then reappeared in abund- 
ance as we approached Mabou. We afterwards found, when 
we'reached the Mabou terminus of the Archzean Mountains, 
that lofty Carboniferous Mountains intervening had intercept- 
ed or diverted transportation. Our first station was Mabou. 
Here I first proceeded along the road toward the extre- 
mity of the Archean of the Highlands. Archean Boulders, 
Syenites, Syenitic Gneisses and~ Diorites appeared in usual 
abundance all along the road until we were beyond the Carboni- 
ferous Mountain. We then walked some distance along a road 
that intervened between the Archzan and the Carboniferous, 
with like results. Satisfied thus far we returned to Mabou. 
Next we observed a Glacial Moraine section at Mabou. In this 
we also found Archean boulders. I followed this drift below 
the Bridge until I could go no farther on account of a turn of the 
river. Archean boulders were found all the way. Our next. 
station was Donald McDonald’s, at the extremity of the Archzean 
of the Highlands near the Harbour. Here we saw an out- 
crop of Archzan rocks where the road to the Pasture crosses. 
a Brook. The rocks were syenitic. All the rocks of the Moun- 
tains are obscured with deep soil and luxuriant vegetation. 
The summits are covered with forest. 
From’ this we proceeded westward to Green Point, on the 
shore of the St. Lawrence. We were surprised at meeting with 
Archean boulders on our way, as the Formation traversed was 
Lower Carboniferous—Gypsiferous. This seemed to indicate a. 
northern transportation. The apparent anomaly was explained 
when we reached Green Point. Our first objects of search were 
glacier-grooved rocks. The unusually coarse conglomerates be-
