Their rod colour is due to the peroxide of iron -which abounds in the cement of the conglomerate and the neighbouring red sandstone. Grayish and white varieties are found at the same place, also at Cape d'Or and Digby Neck. The usual form Is the primary rhombohedron; the six-sided pyramid occurs rarely at Cape Rloniidon. According to Marsh, the variety Gmelinite is found at Hlomidon. Analcimc—Hydrous Hilicate of Alumina, Soda, and Lime. Trapezo- licdrons of white and dull reddish colours occur at Blomidon, Two Islands, M'Kay's Head, etc. Thomsontte—Hydrous Silicate of Ahnniua, Lime, and Soda or Potash. I have a small specimen in radiating crystals from the North Mountains of King's (^)unty. PrehnUc—Hydrous Silicate of Alumina, Lime, and Iron. Recorded by Gesner as found at Black Rock. I have not seen it. Apophyllite—Hydrous Silicate of Lime and Potash is foiuid at a number of places, Init in none very plentifully. Green and white crystals, aggregated in plates or in square prisms, occur at Blomidon, Peter's Point, Two Islands, and Cape d'Or. The finest specimens that I have seen are from the latter j)]ace, and present rosette-shaped groups of crystals. They Avero collected by tlie late Professor Chipman of Acadia C
