geologist, who may examine that region, how much so ever he 
may disagree with us in our theoretical deductions. 
We have purposely omitted, as being entirely foreign to the 
object of this paper, any references to the history and geography 
of the country, excepting in a few cases, where they could hard- 
ly be avoided in designating particular localities, and in assisting 
the traveller in finding such as were the objects of our examina- 
tion. For much valuable information in relation to these sub- 
jects, as well as to the general statistics and topography of the 
country, we take great pleasure in referring our readers to Mr. 
Halliburton’s “ History of Nova Scotia,” published at Halifax in 
1829.
