It folloAvs the line of the Shepody Road eastward into Albert, and certainly includes all that portion of the latter county which lies southward of that road, between it and the sea; while the character of the metamorphic series which appear to the northward would seem to indicate even a wider distribution. Like all the older nations in this portion of the province, the Little River group is progressively covered to the eastward Avith Carboniferous deposits, which at Shepody Mountain finally cap the subjacent metamorphic beds, and form their well-marked eastern termination, " Before the commencement of the present season's work, our knoAvlcdge of the extent of this most important group was limited to the area immediately about St John, and eastward to Black River and Gardner's Creek. We have now succeeded in fixing its tnie limits in this dii'cction, and in giving to it a distribution which, to say the least, is as gratifying as it was unex])ccted. " But not only have these metalliferous rocks been thus found to occupy such an extensive area to the east; they have also been found to spread widely to the west, and to give promise of valuable discoveries in a region to which, as yet, but little attention has been paid. I refer to portions of the peninsula of Pisarinco, west of St John, and to a large district south of the Musquash L'ivor, between the Lancaster M
