120 HONEYMAX NOVA SCOTIAN GEOLOGY. 



I would now take the chart. On it I extend the Point Pleasant 

 lines of striation northward. 



We find that S. 20 E. and N. 20 W. lines pass through and 

 cross the Minas Basin, impinging the point of Blomidon, and passing 

 a little to the W. of Cape Sharp, cut the Cobequid. 



Again we find that the S. 30 E., N. 30 W"., passes through 

 Cornwallis, crosses .the N. Mountain, west of Blomidon, crosses the 

 Minas Basin, and passes near Cape Spence, and cuts the Cobequid 

 Mountains to the east of Cape Chiegnecto. 



The Dartmouth lines of striation extend in the same direction. 



Dr. Dawson, in his Table of Striation, Acadian Geology, Ed. 

 1855, gives lines farther east at Petite Riviere, Rawdon, and the 

 Gore Mountain. The first of these extended northward, passes 

 through the Minas Basin, and then passes through a break in the 

 Cobequid Mountains. 



The line of the Gore Mountain extended in the same direction , 

 passes through Minas Basin and then cuts the Cobequid Mountains. 



While we extend the lines observed by Dr. Dawson, northward, 

 without any apparent difficulty, as we did the Halifax and Dart- 

 mouth lines, I find that I cannot in like manner run them parallel to 

 the latter as far as the Atlantic, without obstruction. 



Last autumn when prosecuting my observations, I found exten- 

 sively exposed striated rock surfaces in the vicinity of the Wellington 

 Station of the Halifax and Truro Railway, opposite the lower part 

 of Grand Lake. I was astonished to find that the general striation 

 here ran S. 25 W. and N. 25 E. About the same time in the 

 preceding year, I had observed near Fletcher's, on the Truro side 

 of the incline a striated surface, whose striae was in the same direc- 

 tion, S. 25 W., N. 25 E., and also at Beaver Bank station, on the 

 Windsor side of the Junction, a striated surface was examined about 

 the same time, having striae running S. 25 E. and S. 25 W. 

 i. e. converging. 



The lines at Wellington Station, if extended northward, cross 

 the Minas Basin, and pass through the Cobequid Mountains along 

 the hollow through which the Folly River flows and the I- C- R»
