o20 NOVA SCOTIA GEOLOGY — HONEYMAN. 



Glaciation was observed on the side of Water street, near the- 

 Dockyard, before the I. C. R. was extended to North street. Op- 

 posite the Sugar Refinery and on the same street, striation was 

 observed last summer. The course of this was, N. 30 W., S. 30 

 E., mag. ; N. 48 W., S. 48 E., true. This is in the direction of 

 Blomidon and Observatory Hill. In my first paper I pointed out 

 another course of glaciation at Wellington Station, on the I. C. R., 

 made by the transportation of the Cobequid Mountain contingent 

 on its way to unite with that of Blomidon for the formation of 

 Observatory Hill and corresponding accumulations. The direc- 

 tion of Wellington Station glaciation is nearly N. and S. true. 

 The Cobequid Mountain boulders have travelled overland from 

 65 to 70 miles ; the Blomidon 60 miles. The massive quartzite 

 boulders have travelled between J a mile and 8 miles. 

 Fort Needham. 



The elevation so-called has a constitution similar to that of 

 Observatory Hill. This, too, has Archaean syenite boulders, as 

 well as Triassic amygdaloid. I collected specimens of these in 

 exposures not far from the glaciation opposite the Sugar Refinery. 

 In passing to the west side I ascended the hill. On the top I 

 observed quartzite boulders of dimensions not inferior to those of 

 Observatory Hill. In the western exposures on Gottingen street 

 I collected Archaean syenites and diorites, and Triassic amyg- 

 daloids. 



On the same street, opposite the Wellington Barracks, exposed 

 glaciation is extensive. The general direction corresponds with 

 that of Water street, S. 48 E., N. 48 W. 



Citadel Hill 



furnished Archaean and Triassic boulders. On the east side there 



is glaciation having the same direction as the preceding. The 



glaciation of Point Pleasant Park is generally S. 38 E., N. 38 W. 



Eastern Extension. 



Accompanied by Mr. Bell, High Sheriff of Halifax, I proceeded 

 last summer to extend my acquaintance with the geology of the 

 eastern part of Halifax County. I now give the results of my 

 fxamination of the Supei'ficial Geology.
