Halifax July 28 - Friday
At 8 A.M. we left Halifax on the
"Ocean limited" and arrived at Dalhousie
at 8 P.M. with an hour's stop at Dalhousie
Junction.
A fine day with two good meals aboard
the train. Excellent presents.
Two miles out of Truro towards Annoton
one sees the above tidal flats, the same as those
about Grand Pre. Less than one mile farther
red rocks appear apparently Triassic. The
country about here is the same geologically and
in climate as that of Wolfville. Both regions
belong to the head of the Bay of Fundy.
At Annoton is dug a red fine grained
sandstone apparently Triassic, also very used
at Halifax in finer building.
The Brookville Carboniferous (Windom) locality
seems to lie on the line of strata of South
Mt. In the topography as seen from the car,
mudways south and continues beyond.
