GEOLOGICAL GLEANINGS—HONEYMAN, 351 
present position is 4 miles distant from the mountain at the side 
of Loch Ban on which we made our observations on the previous 
day. Our glacier has thus acquired a breadth of four miles and 
has got a fair start toward Lake Ainslie. We have planned 
farther examinations in the centre and extremities of the High- 
Jands and on both sides of Loch Ban and Lake Ainslie. 
Our next course was on towards the shore. We went by the 
road tothe coal mines. Here we found Archzean boulders on our 
way up to a certain point, where they seemed to disappear. 
Coming to the shore, we examined the banks as far as the outlet 
of McIsaac’s Pond. We did not reach the section of rocks on 
the shore towards Cape Mabou. Sands and clays with imbedded 
boulders are exposed on the shore. We collected water-worn 
Archean boulders on the shore. These may have been transported 
along the shore from Cape Mabou. We were now at the extrem- 
ity of our Lake Ainslie hypothetical line which passes through 
MclIsaac’s Pond. It has been proposed to convert this into a 
harbour for the coal mines. On our way we had observed the 
low hills having the grey Diorites which are defined on Fletcher’s 
map. On our return we collected specimens of these, and 
proposed to make a more particular examination of them and 
the Diorites on the Margaree Road opposite, afterwards. 
We next proceeded on the road to Cape Mabou, which branches 
off the Broad Cove and Margaree Roads. As we proceeded, we 
observed Archzean boulders in abundance, increasing in numbers 
and dimensions as we proceeded onward and upward. Coming 
to the branching of the Port Ban Road, we proceeded to a short 
distance along this road, observing the Archean boulders. We 
returned, and proceeded along the road to the Cape. Cross- 
ing the bridge over a brook we ascended, observing the very deep 
ruts in the boulder clay excavated by the heavy rain-floods. 
Archzean boulders, large and small, were abundant enough. We 
were now near Fletcher’s junction line of the Lower Carbonifer- 
ous and Archean. We had not seen any outcrop of the strata 
of the former on our way. All were obscured by the overlying 
drift. Heavy rain prevented us from proceeding further in this 
direction. We will return on another day.
