•stratified rocks. Two of the Diorites present the same phe- 

 nomena at their point of contact with the strata, as are found in 

 'the localites specified, coalescense as if from contact while the 

 THorites were in fusion. There is in fact a blending of the crys- 

 talline and uncrystalline rocks. To the same cause the peculiar 

 condition (magnetic) of some of the bedded ores is also to be 

 assigned. 



Quartzose and Micaceous. — This seems to indicate in a peculiar 

 manner the origin of the strata as well as their relation to the asso- 

 ciated rocks. The material has such a granitic character as to 

 impress the conviction that it has been derived from the associ- 

 ated granite. It thus teaches the same lesson as the condition of 

 the uncrystalline rocks in contact with granites at Nictaux. —

Red and gray argillites of the Moose River section, Bear river 

 and Deep brook, seem to throw light on the geological relations 

 of similar strata at Wolfville and Kentville. Here we have 

 palseontological aid, which was much desiderated, especially at 

 Wolfville (Paper in Transactions, 1878-9.)
