runs, through Folly Lake and through the valley of Wentworth 

 and Wallace Rivers. 



The lines of Fletcher's and the S. 25 TV. and N. 25 E. lines of 

 Beaver Bank if produced parallel to those of Wellington strata 

 would cut the S. 20 E. and N. 20 TV. lines observed by Dr. Dawson. 

 The striation of the two extremes, Point Pleasant and Wellington 

 Station, when extended (S. 30 W. and N. 25 E.) have an arc of 

 55° and include the Cobequid Mountains, from near Cape Chieg- 

 necto to Folly Lake, a distance of — miles. 



I would also direct attention to the striation east of Halifax. 



Near the English Church, at the Eastern Passage, a striated 

 surface showed a direction of S. 5 E., corresponding with part of 

 the striation of Beaver Bank Station. On the Cole Harbour Road 

 striae were observed having the same course. At Cole Harbour 

 striae were observed having the same direction. A striated surface 

 at Lawrencetown, with a granite roche perc/ie also gave striation, 

 having a direction S. 6 E. Dr. Dawson observed striation with 

 nearly the same direction at Musquodoboit Harbour, 20 miles east 

 from Halifax. 



From these observations it would appear that at the point of 

 convergence of the easterly and westerly striation, the one defined 

 or resultant course became the regular southerly course of the striat- 

 ing and transporting agency, as all the shore lines of strata east of 

 the Halifax Harbour, run approximately in this direction. 



The distribution of amygdaloids and limestones (?) seems to 

 indicate the S. 30 E. to S. 20 E. as the oldest track, as the 

 resultant S. 5 E. could not convey the amygdaloids even of Bass 

 River, the extreme east of the triassic trap, to such points as Law- 

 rencetown Head, on the shore where they are remarkably prevalent, 

 much less to Three Fathom Harbour or beyond. 



The rareness of the occurrence of amygdaloids beyond Fletcher's 

 on the line of railway, also seems to indicate that at the line of the 

 distribution of the drift, at and beyond Fletcher's, the force moving 

 in a south-west direction was an influential force. The striation 

 all running in one direction, S. 25 W., indicates the same influence.
