GEOLOGICAL GLEANINGS—HONEYMAN. 355 
Here it is of the greatest breadth. Its oblique axis is about 6 
miles in length, the outlet being the extremity on our left. Our 
glacial track is now the major axis of this lake. Its length is now 
6 miles from the shore and 8} from the summit of Cape Mabou. 
CAPE MaABpou 
is readily accessible by the road that branches off the road to the 
Broad Cove Mines ang MclIsaac’s Pond and Margaree. Follow- 
ing this road, we come to a branching road which leads to Port 
Ban. We proceed along this a short distance, observing an out- 
crop of Archzan boulders. We return. Crossing a bridge over 
a brook, as on a former occasion, we ascend, crossing the hilly 
ridge in front of the mountains. In the ruts we observe clays 
and boulders plentiful enough. The first outcrop of chocolate- 
colored sandstones is observed. This reveals the constitution of 
the hills) We then come to the valley between these and the 
mountains. We are surprised at seeing farms, the existence of 
which we did not expect. Proceeding along this valley, we at 
length ascend into the mountains. A second outcrop and the 
last of the Lower Carboniferous is observed. Onwards we see 
on the side of the road the first outcrop of the rocks of the 
mountain. They are diorites. Proceeding, we observe on the 
road, all the way, Archean boulders of the same character as 
those already described in our wanderings, and outcrops of the 
rocks that produce them. We reach the summit and find an 
extensive table-land, with farms that astonish on account of 
their extent and excellence. Boulders are sufficiently plentiful, 
but the rocks are completely obscured by soil of excellent quality 
and dense vegetation. We are approaching Cape Mabou sum- 
mit. Our guide directs attention to the watershed and White 
Brook. A beautiful outcrop of red syenitic gneiss is seen on the 
road. We have observed numerous outcrops of shaley rocks. In 
White Brook we collect (subsequently) Gneisses and Hornblendic 
Schists. We reach the summit, a height of 1,000 feet. Here we 
add to our collection a piece of a boulder of syenite; on our 
return we give farther attention to the outcrop.
