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.
