In my Acadian (ie(dot(y, I associated with the Atlantic coast Kcries the extensive dojjosits of mica slate and micaceous gneiss foimd in the peninsula ending in Cape (!au-'), and also very exten- sively in the west, more especially in Shelhurno County. I also regarded all the true granite of this district as intrusive, and on the evidence of the fossiliferous rocks cuthy it on the Nictaux Uivcr, as of later date than the Oriskany period. It has, however, lately been customary to regard much of the granite as gneiss, and to speak of this and the associated schistose rocks as Laurcutiau and Ilurouiau. Aware that uuiiiy new exposures had been made in recent years by nnning and roadmaking, and being desirous to satisfy myself as to whether any change was required, I revisited the district around Shcrbrooke and the St Mary's River, and was so fortunate as to fiiul what seems to me couclutiive evidence of the correctness of my former views. Eastward of Shcrbrooke, the beds of the Gold series run endwise against the great mass of granite rock extending from near the St ]\Iary's Kivcr beyond Indian Harbour, and given in my Acadian Geology as a typical illustration of intrusive granitc-J- At a place near the Upper Indian Ilarbo\ir Lake I found the granite and quartzite in contact, the line of junction running about south-cast, and the quartzite dipping north-cast at an angle of 70°
