328 NOVA SCOTIA GEOLOGY — HONEYMAN. 



metamorphic rocks, in sight of the Cobequid mountains, and its 

 very distinct glaciation, led me to regard it as a very interesting 

 object. In my paper of 1875-6, I quoted an observation from a 

 table in " Acadian Geology," a position at the Gore having stria- 

 tion with a course S. 20 E. I had resolved to search for this 

 striation. This roche saves me the trouble, and seems to furnish 

 a sufficient reason, in connection with other observations, to 

 which I shall yet refer in a future paper^ for the distribution of 

 boulders to the east of Clam Harbour line. It also gives occasion 

 to modify certain conclusions at which I had arrived in my first 

 Paper. Coming from the N. E., I searched as far as Elmsdalefor 

 boulders and minerals from the Triassic eruptive rocks, which 

 extend as far east as Five Islands, without finding any. In my 

 Paper of 1875-6, I stated that I had found specimens in the 

 clays of Enfield. Last summer I found a specimen as I was 

 approaching the top of Grand Lake from the Enfield station. 

 Enfield, therefore, seems to be the limit of their distribution in 

 this direction. The other extreme points seem to be half-a-mile 

 beyond Gore. On the old Guysboro' road, the east end of Pres- 

 ton and the west point of Five Fathom Harbor. These two seem 

 to be a sort of outliers, while extreme points of the main triassic 

 amygdaloid transportations are Fletcher's station on the Interco- 

 lonial, Nav} T Island, on the east side of Bedford Basin, Dartmouth 

 Cove and Laurencetown, at Half-Island. 



Grand Lake. — (Cene Formation.) 

 While investigating the Pleistocene Geology around Grand 

 Lake, I directed attention to the Lacustrine forms which I be- 

 lieved, in common with others, to be "Prehistoric Pottery." (Pro-' 

 ceedings 1879-80.) I examined these in situ, and secured several 

 specimens. I was therefore led to entertain some doubts in 

 regard to their artificial formation. A chemical examination 

 showed me that the supposed plastic portion of the article was 

 Hydrous iron sesquioxide, and that the supposed pottery was 

 " Lacustrine hematite concretions," We have therefore in Grand 

 Lake a new formation in progress of a singular construction.
