Glaciation of Eastern Canada. 321 
the theory of local glaciers and icebergs as held by him.’ 
Dr. Honeyman gives several lists of striz also, from various 
parts of the province, and discusses the phenomena per- 
taining thereto, adhering however, to the view of a 
continental glaciation. He notes however the northward 
transportation of boulders from the South Mountain at 
Nictaux, Berwick, etc.2 Mr. Chas. Robb,’ and Mr. Hugh 
Fletcher, especially the latter gentleman, have made 
numerous observations on striz, etc., in Cape Breton and 
in the eastern and north-eastern part of the peninsula. Mr. 
Fletcher’s lists are given independent of any theoretical 
views, which makes them, perhaps, all the more valuable. 
They show that ice moved down the slopes from the higher 
grounds everywhere, usually following river valleys.* Dr. 
R. W. Ells investigated the glacial phenomena of Cumber- 
‘land county to some extent.’ Between River Herbert and 
South Joggins he found striz in the direction of 8 63° W, 
the ice producing these having apparently come from the 
higher grounds north-east of Maccan and flowed towards 
Chiegnecto Bay. In the pass in the Cobequids, through 
which the Spring Hill and Parrsboro’ Railway runs, strize 
indicating the passage of ice through it and flowing 
towards Minas Basin were observed. On the south slope of 
these mountains, at New Mines, an escarpment of rock 
has its face striated by ice which flowed towards the out- 
let of Minas Basin. At New Annan, on the north side, 
grooves and stri# were seen with a course of N. 10° E., 
showing that ice flowed northward from their summits 
down the French River valley towards Tatamagouche Bay.
