NOVA SCOTIAN GEOLOGY — HONEYMAN. 123 



outcrop of rocks, which at first sight seemed gneissoid, on closer 

 examination they were found to be highly fossiliferous. I col- 

 lected a few fossils and traced the outcrop southwards, until the 

 rocks became obscure. Beyond, heights were observed with large 

 granite boulders. In the village, on the Digby side, north of the 

 bridge and below the wharves, another important outcrop of rocks 

 was examined, on the road and riverside. Returned to Clements- 

 port by the way we came. 



Saturday, 19th. — Examined an interesting outcrop of strata 

 at and north of the wharf, on the shore of Clementsport and 

 opposite the Iron works ; afterwards walked along the Moose 

 river road to the New Mine, examining in succession and detail 

 the outcrops of rocks already noticed, with a view to the proper 

 understanding of the geology of the district. 



Sabbath, 20th. — Attended service in Mr. Godfrey's churches, 

 at Clementsport and Bear river village; went to Digby in the 

 evening; attended services at Mr. Ambrose's. 



Monday, 21st. — We travelled the road to Waldec, which 

 branches from Moose river road, about half a mile from Cle- 

 mentsport; observed several outcrops of rocks similar to those 

 exposed on the Moose river road, and examined the strata ex- 

 posed in a deep brook at Waldec ; proceeded to the mouth of 

 Bear river and Digby road by the old post road, on which were 

 observed interesting outcrops of rocks. Returned to Clements- 

 port by the Digby road. 



Tuesday, 22nd. — We returned to Bear river for the purpose of 

 examining certain rocks exposed in a brook and on the river side 

 about half way between Bear river village and the Victoria 

 bridge ; observed strata between the cross roads already referred 

 to (Friday, 19th), and the rocks of which we were in quest. We 

 found the rocks in the brook, somewhat obscured by debris, but 

 collected fossils. On the side of the river we examined a fine 

 -clear section of the same rocks ; collected fossils and also ob- 

 served the rocks underlying. We returned by the road we 

 •came. 



Wednesday, 23rd. — In the morning I went to the point, east 

 side of Clementsport, with the expectation of finding strata ex-
