Bounding the Trias.
‘Are ye after biggins stanes? inquired ‘a weather-beaten pioneer, as 1 was ex- ‘amining some fragments of rocks one afternoon, among the hills of Lot 30.
‘*There appears to be very good build- ing stone about here,” I replied.
said my friend. “At Muckleroy’s quarry
_|is the plaee for rockies.”
But the quality of the “stanes” was not troubling me. It was those casts aod impressions of plants drawa in lines of vivid red on the rude fragments before me,which excited my deepest interest. It siruack me that [ had_ seen these all before Yes, in the solid rock beds at the surf-benten feet of giant . Turner, I had seen the very same plant impressions , which are here buried. in the heart of these hills; and the recollection was} awakening in my mind a vision of deep) geological interest, namely, the deter-| mination of the distribution of | the Triassic rock in P. E. Island. These casts of plants, fragmented and broken, were clearly distinct from those of the) Permian, and would serve as an index to pvint out the bouudaries of the two for- mations, which,. though so similar in general appearance, were distinct in geological time.
I left my practical friend and wander- ed far over the hills. The light of a glorious autumao sunset was «spreading beauty ou their billowy forms... Leafless birch and beach, and. dark-spired_fir- trees ou their shaggy crests were lighted with golden flame, and the deep, preci- pitous valleys between them looked deeper sunk ion purple shadows, How different is this scenery from that pre- sented by the Permian district! These last in surface configuration are like the gentle swelling of the summer sea, only robed in brighter green. But here the Trigssic is like a sea torn by the wildest covflict ‘of covtending winds aud enrrents.
You remember that the hills of North Rustico, of New Glasgow, of. Huuter’s River, Strathalbyn, Wiltshire, aod the country south and west are of this char- acter. Are these all Triassic, carved
meet the Gulf chargers on the rugged coast about Cape Turner? This feature of the question now pressed itself forci- bly on my attention as I wandered among the rude autumn scenes of hilly Thirty.
“Look well to the north side of the Island for the true Trias,” wrote Sir Wm. Dawson to the writer, with his usual kindly interest in the labors of struggling students, and the next season when leafy Juve spread her beauties on the land, I took a long excursion to the rock-bound coast of westero New London in pursuit of this matter. Arriving at Park’ Cor- ner, | was surprised to find myself, not among the soft red sandstones of the upper formation, but among the hard conglomerates of «the lower Permian. The little inlet of the coast, that breaks in here, is filled with whitened fragments of this firm material, and cliffs of dark red sandstone, an hundred feet in height, frowned over the surging break- ers aloug the coast. Here is the centre of an anticlinal which brings up the Permian rocks in a great ridge, like a protecting sea wall, oa the northern edge of the horizontal Trias. The great red foam-circled capes which guard the western eutrance of New London har- ber belong to this Permian ridge, while the flat lands inside of the harbor are of horizontal Trias. And the same. hori- zontal beds are found stretching east- ward to beyond Rustico.
The almost undisturbed condition of the Trias frequently helps us to dis- tinguish it from the Permian which is more or less affected by regular lines of upheaval. In the western part of the Island the Permian is slightly disturbed by two N. East and N. West anticlivals continued from the New Brunswick sys tem. But in the central and eastern counties it is upheaved by three anticlin- also running nearly East and West mag- netic, or parallel with the Cobequid range of mountains. These anticlinal ridges are like vast stoney waves rolling in from the Gulf, increasing in elevation aud propinquity as they approach the ancient plutonic nucleus of the Nova Scotian Hills. These anticlinals, when denuded, cause the districts where they prevail to have a surface configuration marked more or less with ridges running in an ensterly and westerly direction. This feature is very marked io the Murray Harbor district and about the | Hillsborough Bay. Ig the great flat jeynecline between the Hillsborough and \Cape Tryon anticiinals it is much less noticeable, but even here careful ob- iservation will detect it ia mary ploces.
; ;| “Och, mon, these are but puir stanes,”
one will remember the sudden change in
the appearance of the country. in travel~
ling on the main road from Bonshaw to DeSable, as we descend from the rough Triassic highlands to the level upper Permian district around Detable harbor. A similar change occars at the county line in travelling westward by the ‘Anderson road. We emerge-#: ones from a tumult of hills into a broad plain ‘country varied only by shadowed groves and wide extending grainsfields, - The Triassic sandstones are distia- ‘guished from the Permian by having ‘less dark carbonaceous markings in ‘them. There are fewer shales and ao /calcarious conglomerates, although some (of the sandstones are endurated with
me.
There are few well preserved fossils iu the system so far as we have yet discov. ‘ered. My field book coutains drawings
‘of remnuins of over thirty different varie-
ties of plauts, but so indifferently pre- served that not more than three or four of them could with certainty be referred to their proper species. Yet the group is readily recognized as distinct from similar remains in the Permian strata below. So far as identified, the remains are of conifers, ferns, and calamites, But these would not have been sufficient to characterise the system if they were not associated with an undoubted Mesozoic Dinosaur. Bathygnathus borealis.
A line drawn from the little inlet of the north coast between Stauhope and ‘Tracadie across the Island to the mouth of the Clyde River, then following the course of the Elliot River to Bonshaw and westward to DeSable, then north- ward to where the Anderson's Road crosses the county line, and thence, with a flexuous course, to the head of the Freuch River, New London, will include the great mass of the Triassic system in P. E. Island. There is included in this area a small ridge of Permian on the 8. West River; and there is possibly a small outline of the Trias about the head waters of the Grand River in King’s County. ;
This Triassic area includes some of the roughest and most picturesque dis- triets in the Island. The range of hills extending from DeSable fo North Rusti- co, and forming the priocipsl watershed of the country, is all within it. Lofty St Ann’s overlookiag the distant sea and fair New London Bay jewelling the
New Glasgow, bright with meadow aud grain fields aud smiling snow-white homesteads; Strathalbyn’s wild, bleak valleys; and the varied scenes of forest and foamiug flood, quiet stream-traced vales and tossed billowy heights, retired nook and majestie valley that fill all the tract drained by the head waiters of the Elliot River, all belong to this Triassic area.
There is a great trough of subsidence cleaving the rock formations of the Maritime Provinces in a vorth-east and south-west direction, and extending from the Bay of Fundy to George’s Bay, Newfoundland. Within its area all the sedimentary deposits are of great depth andimportance. The vast coal deposits of Cumberland County occur within it, aud in P. E. Island the Permian strata appearing within its limits are ten times the depth of those on the western end which are beyond its bounds, It is within this great trough of subsidence that the Triassic rocks of the Maritime Provinces alone are found.
