ing the northern side of the trough, are a series of beds described as 
quartz rock and calciferous mica schist, and which are said to be the same 
as those known to extend through York County, N. B., towards the Bay 
de Chaleur. This belt of rocks has been recognized, with essentially the 
same features, by Mr. Bailey on the St. John River above Fredericton, 
and about Grand Lake in the eastern Schoodic region in Wan 1e. 
The granites on the north side of this basin are overlaid by a gray gneiss

corner of the State. At this end of the basin, where probably the lower 
beds are exposed, the rock contains garnets, staurotide and kyanite. 
Along the north-east side (in Northport) it holds andalusite. If these 
rocks represent here the Lower Lepreau series, as the mica schists, hold- 
ing a similar position and containing the same minerals, do in the cen- 
tral parts of Charlotte County, the geology of this portion of the Province 
will be greatly simplified.
