We were three months at To:mentine in onuection with the teat borings for the Northumberland tunnel. They were the three bright months of our summer sea- aon, and time spent in explorations on shore watthe regular work of boring on the breezy wave was a daily revel in the beau- vies of nature.

The peninsula of Tormentine is a projec- tion of the New Brunswick coast, extend- ing into the Northumberland Strait so as to reduce ite breadth from twenty miles to less han seven and a half miles. The part ex-

tending nearest to P. E. Island is Jc urimain [sland, situated on the northern extremity uf the peninsula. This small island is div- ided from the mainland by a marsh of some six hundred acres in extent. It is dyked and produces a heavy burden of cord grass and other coarse grasses, and is parceled amcng a great number of neigh- coring proprietors. ‘The ‘*Marsh” is an exquisite natural meadow, waving with its rich burden of yrasses and jewelled with two eilvery lakelets in its centre, the happy resort of numberless tribes of wild fowl. Iu the early dawn, when the first soft sunlight steals over the dark cliffs of Tormentine, and every dune and grave of reeds casts a iong, misty shadow, the shy teal sport in flocks of the silvery surface of these placid lakelets. Later, black mallards and sea ducks and noisy groups of arch-necked geese seek the shelter of these weedy reaches fhe great blue heron, and the nightly bittern, and the noisy tattlers, and endless tribes of sandpipers, plovers, and curlews never forsake the ready borders of those lakelets while summer breezes bow the grasses or sutumn goldens the sedgy marsh. As you may well suppose, the *‘marsh” is a favorite ground for sports- men. One Nimrod tells of bringing down thirty-six dncks at a shot, but his fellow- sportsmen profanely question the accuracy of his count. Yet it is true that ducks and other fowl are very plenty here. Gunning Point is the northwest extremity of Jour- imain Island, extending far out beyond the shallow waters of Peacock Cove. Wher the wind biows streng from the north the flocks of wild fowl passing out of this cove are driven in great numbers on the point and are easily shot. Gunning Point is a lofty mass of red boulderclay, such ascovers Jourimain Island generaliy, and which was brushed vuut of the bed of the strait during the Glaciel Period, and now presents 4 steep eroded face to the sea. On its summit a blind battery is built, which on every windy day in autumn is occupied by a garrison of sports—men awaiting in leisure the arrival of the winged fleets from the sea. Referring to the boulder clay. it is quite interesting to observe here how the red clay of the Permian districts has been forced from northwest to southeast over on to the grey carboniferous districts, and also to note how the rongh grey boulders of Millstone Grit have been carried in the same direction upon the red Permian tracts. A: Lane's Quarry, near Bayfield, there is a large exposed surface of grey rock beauti- fully planed and striated by the motion of the great glacier as it accross the peninsula in its course to the bed of the Atlantic. General direction of the strie S. 85 deg. E.

We found the red-wing blackbird in breeding season on Jourimain. It frequented the bridge over the marsh run, and its peculiar whistle and hovering, circling flight, so distinct from that of the common grackle, apprised us that it was 4 stranger long before we noticed the crimson doublet on its shoulders. Cuckoos were quite common in the wooded islets of the marsh. In June these islands were white with the bloom of choke berries, and the nodding racems of the Virginian cherry. Later they were fairly ablaze with the most magnificent wild roses [ evar saw. When autumn spread his golden- shield on the marsh, these groves were filled with the luscious fruit of the amel- anehica and brilliant clusters of wipter- berry, while the low marsh borders were all aglow with cranberries and crimson fox- berries. Blueberries were in unlimited quantity. We found quite a number of plants here which we had not observed on P, E. Island. Among these the way- faring tree, bush honeysuckle, shrubby cinquefoil, and poison ivy are conspicuous. Among animals, the cireit cat or skunk, the raccoon and the porcupine are common tere, but net found on the Island. The distribution of these plants and animals is of in'erest in connection with the last great geological movements of the district.

Jourmmain Island is about a mile long and half a mile bruad. It is red sandstone formation, being composed of the lowest beds ot the Permian. We spent many 4 summer evening searching for fragments of fossils where the placid waves of the strait broke in murmuring ripples on its reefy shores. Nor was our labor unrewarded. Browa fragments of silicified pine wood of the ancient species dadoscylon materiarum —collecied years ago by Prof. Dawson at Gallas Point—are found drifting among the sands. Parts of the stems of tree ferna, bulky as pine logs and bearing distinct scars of the great fronds which these grace- ful trees once bore, and trunks of tyioden- dra which are so common on St. Peter's Island and so characteristic of the Permian, are impressed on the reefs of fine sand. stone; also fronds of the magnificent species of fern, peopteris arborascens, and the fan-shaped leaves of baiera and parallel- veined cordaites. One day as we launched a boat te go to the borings, Mr. Hendry picked up a nice branch of walchia gracilis This was an ancient club moss assuming the sizs and appearance of a conifer, and is very charicteristic of the Permian forma- tion. Of calamites there are the remains of not only the common small reed-like ones of the carboniferous, but also of the great calamite of the Permian which reared its fluted column along these ancient marshy shores to the height of ordinary forest trees.

The outer Jourimain Island, we have

ee ~ ae EE — -_ ee formentine and the Tunnel Bor-] said, is Permian, but the islets in the marsh ings. are outcrops of the ccarse grey sandstones

of the Millstone Grit. Thus sharply is th: line between the two formations marked You leave the red Permian rocks on the western extremity of Jourimain Island,

cross the level stretch of sand opposite the marsh, and_ entering Spence Cove, find yourself at once

xmong the grey rocks of the Millstone Grit, which rocks occupy the whole coast from this to Shemogue. Indeed, the same grey rocks occupy the whole of the Tormentine peninsula except Jourimain Island, and « narrow triangular patch extending from Dobson's Gove to Upper Cape

The Millstone Grit it mostly coarse grey or brown isle sandstone. but in some places, as at Mount Pleasant, there are dark red shales and dark slaty sandstones. The foasils of this formation are quite distinc: from those of the Permian. The Tormen tine pier was built with many thousand tons of this rock, brought by rail from Cobourg, and as it contained a good num ber of characteristic fossils, | spent some time on stermy days studying them on the pier. Mr. Murphy, the Cbliging contract- or, afforded me every accommodation in this work. Remains of Oordaites and Calamites were particularly numerous, and also fossil seeds of the genus Cardiocarpum Remains of huge trunks of Lepidodendra, ence as bulky as the timbers which the workmea were fitting into the structure of the pier, are an interesting feature of this ancient flora

The rock bed that the proposed tunne! is to pass through is entirely in the lower Permian. These beds, as we have already seen, just touch the New Brunswick coas' at Jourimain Island, and stretching away northward under the waters of the Strait, underlie Prince Edward Island. The tun nel will enter these beds on Jourimain Island, follow them across the Strait, and rise through the superior sandstone beds on the P. E. Island shore.

Eight test holes were bored on the Jouri- main side of the Strait. Two of these were on the island itself. Both penetrated the red strata and reached the grey carbonifer- ous base. At the first hele, 600 yards in land, the red strata were found to be only 32 feet in thicknees ; but at the second hole op the coast they were 132 feet thick, thus showing how rapidly the carboniferous base dips under the bed of the Gulf. In fact, the suuthern part of the Gulf is a great carboniferous basin holding wichin it the superficial new red sandstone formation, the upper part of which forms our fertile Gem of the Gulf,

Where we penetrated the lowest beds of the Permian on Jourimain Island we found them to consist of brown estuarine or marsh deposits, reposing uncomformably on the old carboniferous coast line. This ancient marsh deposit, with its remains of Cale- mites, and Cordaites, Tylodendra and tree ferns, brought before our minds a picture of that ancient time when our Island rocks were laid down as beds of shifting sand and mud in the waters of the Gulf. Who shall count back and tell us in years the date of that time? The Gulf, surrounded by its palzeozoic hills, existed as it does to-day, but no P. E. Island was in its southern waters. All along its southern shores the low coast was bordered with extensive marshes, but no soft, rich grasses spread their luxriance over these ancient meadows, stiff leaved conifers and flinty stemmed calamites covered them with rigid uninvit- ing herbage. Inthe elow development of life through the ages, no vegetables brighter than the conifer hai yet been produced, and all the vegetable luxuriance of the time was antiquated and low-typed. These ancient marshes with their lagoons and muddy deposits extended far out into the Gulf, as we know from the rocks of Governor and St. Peter's Islands, where these lowest
