I NTUO DICTION. 
 
 The provincL' ol Nova Scotia is comprised within tlii' 
 fi'Md and 'i7th parallels of iNortli latitude and the ()Oth and 
 (UUh (legrt.'es of longitude westlronidreenuich. It is, except 
 Newl'oundland, tiie most eastern of the IJritish North Ameri- 
 can colonics, an^, all but surrounded by tiic Atlantic ocean, 
 enjoys a climate remarkably salubrious, free alike from the 
 extremes of heat and of cold which are experienced in other 
 portions of the North American continent. This feature is 
 well evidenced in the illustrations of our natural history and 
 agricultural products now forwarded to the Paris Exhibition : 
 contributions which furnish a fair average representation ol 
 the commercial, social and political advancement of a thriving 
 colony. Its capital and chief commercial port, Halifax, with 
 a popidation of about /](),()()(), is, geographically speaking 
 the nearest i)ractical outlet from the North American conti- 
 nent to European markets. Defended by fortilications ol 
 formidable strength, guarded by naval armaments and mili- 
 larv forces, it is additionallv protected bv a verv eflicieni 
 organization of volunteci' militia extending throughout the 
 province. This harbour, with the landlocked basin leading 
 from it. lornis one vast dock where the nonnnercial and 
 
— 8 
 
 naval marine of Europe and America rniglit convcnientlv 
 lind shelter and safe anchorage, llaih'oads traverse the 
 interior and are rapidly being extended, while the Gunard 
 steamers and the Athmtic cable farnish frequent communi- 
 cation with the parent country and the continent of Europe. 
 Among our contributions to the Paris Exhibition are evi- 
 dences of creditable advancement in mechanical skill. The 
 gold rpiartz crushing machine constructed by Mess'' Symonds 
 and C'^ is one instance of this, and appropriately points to 
 a very preeminent feature in the industrial resources of the 
 province. Skates, mining tools, etc., from the factory of 
 Mess'^ Starr and C" furnish additional illustrations of which 
 we may justly feel proud. Both these establishments are in 
 the immediate vicinity of Halifax, and are in constant and 
 successful operation, the entire mamifacture in its various 
 stages being completed on the respective premises of the 
 proprietors. Water power is abundant thioughout the pro- 
 vince, and this agent as well as steam is made subservient 
 in the successful manufacture of various articles of commerce 
 tobacco, (diocolate, gun powder, fancy bread, Hour, confec- 
 tionery, paper, leather, cutlery, tiles and pottery, boots 
 and shoes, cloth, frames and sashes, buckets and sugar 
 refineries, among others which might be instanced, show 
 that our people are not deficient in manufacturing capabi- 
 lities. Several models of vessels are forwarded to show 
 our attainments in naval architecture, a departeinent in 
 which a large amount of capital is here expended annuallv. 
 Nor is the province deficient in educational, religious, chari- 
 table and reformatory institutions. Education of a systema- 
 tic and practical character is by legislation placed within 
 the reach of all. Every child may learn to read and write! 
 Churches and colleges with other I'eligious and educational 
 institutions are frequent. The iusane, the deaf and dumb, 
 orphan children, the aged, and the deserving poor irrespccti-

 One third more lliaii the above I'atts is contribnted to tea- 
 chers employed in poor and scattered seclions. 
 
 A second fund is provided towards the sahiries ol' teachers 
 |)v the im|)0sili()n, upon the property of each connty, of a 
 tax snflicic'Mt to yield for distribution a sum efjual to 
 I IV. aO c. for each inhabitant. This fund is disbursed to 
 tlic schools according to the len,<,Mh of time they have been 
 in session and the average number of pu|)ils in attendance. 
 Schools in poor and scattered sections receive one third 
 more per pupil than schools in other sections. 
 
 A third fund is secured towards the; salaries of teachers, 
 by imposing,' upon the pro[)erly of the residents of each sec- 
 tion a tax suflicicnt to yield, when added to the amounts 
 contributed by the government and the county, whatever 
 salary may be recpiired. This tax is imposed by a majority 
 of the rate-payers of each section convened at the time 
 fixed by law for the annual school meeting. A majority of 
 the rate-payers of each section has power, also, to tax tlie 
 property of its residents for all money required for other 
 school purposes, the piuxhase of lands, buildings, furniture, 
 text-books, maps, apparatus, etc. 
 
 In addition to the loregoing, the government aids by 
 grants of money the following educational institutions : 
 
 Superior schools.— The sum of 36,000 francs is annually 
 granted for premiums to the best public schools which reach 
 the standard prescribed by the council of public instruction. 
 This grant is apportioned in sums of 2,000 francs to each 
 
coimiy, lo he awarded to not luoie tli.in loiii schools in 
 I'.icli iiispei'tonitc. 
 
 County academies. — The sum of !>:^, 000 francs is antniidly 
 approini.-ucd tow.irds the niaintcnaficf of special academics, 
 of which ihrii' arc live, located in counties in which there 
 itP; no c()iiiii\ a''adenii(!s. These institutions were esta- 
 blished prior to the inlnuhiction of the system of free schools, 
 and pupils arc adnii(i<'d to ihcm on (he payment of i'ws. 
 
 Colleties. — A yearly grant of 'M),{HU) francs is provided in 
 aid of six collcjrcs. Most of these institutions have been 
 cither wholly or partially endow r-d |,y individuals and 
 churches, and the Kacidty of each is empowered to confer 
 literary deforces. 
 
 Provincial normal college and model school. — The sum 
 
 of h»,075 francs is granted annually towards the maintenance 
 of a normal college and a graded model school. These 
 institutions an; devoted to the imparling of knowledge in 
 th(! theory and practice of teaching. Numbers of young men 
 and young women annually graduate from the normal col- 
 lege with licisnse to teach in the public schools. 
 
 Institution for the deaf and dumb. — The sum of 
 -10,000 francs is appropriat.^d yearly towards the mainte- 
 nance of an institution for the education of deaf mutes. 
 Additional support is received from the voluntary contribu- 
 tions of th(! benevolent. The institution is partially endowed. 
 
 The provincial government also contributes annually the 
 sum of ()0,000 francs towards the piu-chase of text-books 
 and apparatus loi- the public schools, and the gi-atuitous 
 circulation of a .lonriKil nf rdiiratioii among trustees. cor[)o- 
 rations and teachers. About (50,000 francs are also annualh 
 provided to meet the expenditure in coiuiection with the 
 educational department . 
 

 
 Expenditure for education. — Tin' amoiini cxpciKled lor 
 cdiicatioii (luring the past year, in connexion with public 
 schools, Academies and codeines was l,t);V2,S/|5 francs of this 
 amount (in().:?tt() francs were contributed by the ii:overiHnent 
 from the public treasury. The ninuberof pupils I hat receiv- 
 ed instrnction in these institutious was, durin«;- the first or 
 winter term, A5,S'21 : and diirin.ii;- the smnmer term, .')(>, (H)7. 
 The |)opulation of the province, according to the census of 
 1S(>I, was ;?;50,Sri7. it is now estimated at 3()0, ()()(). 
 
 All the public schools, inckiding tlie commou schools, 
 superior schools, comity academies and the provincial nor- 
 mal college and model school, are open to pupils free of 
 charge. The law does not prescribe any religious or other 
 test, nor does it sanction the imparting of sectarian instruc- 
 tion. The following extracts from the law defines the duty 
 of teachers with respect to the nature of the instruction to be 
 given : 
 
 '' To teach diligently and faithfully all the branches re~ 
 (pnrcd to be taught in the school, and to maintain propei- 
 (U'derand discipline therein, according to the engagements 
 entered into with the trustees and the provisions of this act. 
 
 " To inculcate by prec(>pt and example a respect for reli- 
 gion and the principk"-- of christian morality :— justice, and 
 a sacred regard to truth, love of couiilry, loyalty, humanity, 
 and universal benevolence, sobriety, industry, and frugality, 
 chastity, and temperance, and all other virtues which an- 
 the ornaments of human society. " 
 
 The grading of schools forms an essential feature of the 
 system of schools in operation in the province. The following 
 is extracted from ihe provisions of the law and sets forth 
 llienatiu'eaud eMcnl of the school acconunodalion demanded : 
 
 " for any section having lifty pupils or under, a house

ACADIA IllON WORKS. 
 
 The ro[)reseiit;i(i(»ii of the Acjuliji Iron .Mines is small I) tit 
 instnictivo. M' Jones, the active inaiKi,'i;er of the woiks, lias 
 rnniished iis uilli this illustration which shews the rfnality ol 
 the oic and of the iron and steel |)roduced IVoin it. The ore. 
 brown hematite, exhibits a -reat variety of beautiful and 
 singular forms, which are interesting both to the minera- 
 logist and metallurgist. The quality of the metal is shewn 
 by a specimen of pig iron. For the quality see I)'' r(>rcy's 
 analysis in his metallurgy, and in i)^ Mow's appendix. The 
 malleable iron is represented by the part of a bar. In this 
 state it is found to be as well adapted for the shoeing of 
 sleighs and sledges as the great proportion of the steel 
 imported into Nova Scotia. Specimens of cast and puddled 
 steel are also exhibited which manifest superior density and 
 tenacity.. These are a [)art of the lirst attempt at the manu- 
 facture of steel at the works. The axe and chisel also made 
 at the works from the iron and steel represented, complete 
 the illustration. 
 
 In the IMiihitiou of I So I a gold medal was awarded t<> 
 the Acadia Iron Companv. In |,S(5-2, M' Levesey uas a inem-

 the portion whereof the underlying rocks consist of geologi- 
 cally auriferous formations, com[)risc about ten thousand 
 (10,000) square miles. It may he mentioned en pasmuiL that ^ 
 
 this area (Miibraces valuable deposits of iion, cop[)er and 
 lead and all'ords very promising indications of the existence 
 of several other valuable minerals. It is as yet but very 
 imperfectly explored. 
 
 The principal localities where gold mines are now worked 
 in Nova Scotia are commencing with the most western and 
 proceeding eastwartl. The Ovens and (lold river in Sunen- 
 burgh county; Ihiiacke and Renfrew in Hants county; (iay's 
 river in Colchester ('ountv; Wawerlv, Oldham, Montagu, 
 Lawrencetown, and Tangier in Halifax county; Sherbrooke, 
 Wine Harbour, and Stormont in Guysborough County ; and 
 Wagamatkook in Victoria county. All the mines in these 
 several localities are within easy distance of navigable water, 
 or good public highways; but rich, auriferous deposits have 
 been discovered in many other places more distant from 
 if (>stablished public thoroughfares; and the character of the 
 
 I country is such that undoubtedly numerous discoveries of the 
 
 I kind will continue to be made. In all iht'se localities the 
 
 !i gold is principally found in quart/ /// .v///^ In some instances 
 
 \ it is also found free, in the surface drift. No place has yet

 enclosed by them, have; an easterly and westerly strike. 
 The number d' these bands >t[' ([uartzite, which alternate 
 with slaters, lins n(jt yet been deiern)int.'d. The proportion 
 which the total bidk ol the ([uartz bears to tjiat of the rock 
 enclosin;,^ it, is very hir^'e. Measiii'emenis in one place 
 showed a thickness ol fifteen feet, ot (fiiartz to one bundled 
 and sixty feet of enclosing,' rock. Other localities exhibit a 
 nuich lar}j;er proportion of quartz. Their dimensions vary 
 from those of the least perceptible thiimcss up to a thickness 
 of even tliirty i'eet. So far as tested, all of these quartz 
 veins are found to be, in a ^'reat or less degree, auriferous. 
 No means have been provided for showing, with perfect 
 accuracy, the average yield of gob! per ton of quartz for all 
 the quartz yet crushed in the province. 11'. however, for 
 the past four years we take the average yield per ton of each 
 of the above named districts, and then take the mean of 
 these, we lind it to be eighteen pennyweights, less a very 
 small fraction, to the ton of quartz. The maximum yield yet 
 attained was one hundred and three ounces and fourteen 
 pennyweights to the ton. The prolitable nature of these 
 gold mines can be better ascertained by observing what their 
 produci is to each man engaged in mining. In 180,1, the 
 average annual yield lo every man employed in and about 
 mining, crushing, amalgamating, smelting, and imme- 
 diately auxiliary occupations, valuing the gold at onh

 determined on account of th(." ahs.-nee f)|' (ossils and irregida- 
 rity in succession. As far as w(. hav y(>t ascertained ihfronly

 are argillite and auriferous conglomerate. The gold held 
 whence these are derived is situated on the north western 
 border of the gold hearing region. The conglomerate con- 
 taining the gold reposes on the edges of the tilted argillite. 
 This conglomerate is ahoiit 'M) feet thick. Its composition

 The age of the conglomerate is determined by the incumbent 
 
 limestone Brachiopodous; this also shows along with the 
 
 position of the gold, the conditions of its formation, in other 
 
 words it is evident that the auriferous conglomerate of (Jag's 
 
 river gold field was formed of the debris of the granite , 
 
 (juartzite, argillite and auriferous quartz veins of the adjacent 
 
 and underlying silurian rocks by the action of a sea of the ^.

 altered devonian limestone with fluor spar from the rocks of 
 this age in Antigonish county.

 lower s.lnrian strata. When we n.eet with conglomerate of 
 lower carboniferous age it generally rests on upturned 
 •stiata ol the upper silurian or devonian formations having 
 been formed mainly of coarse material derived from these 
 rocks, in the county of Antigonish the origin and the 
 relations of the conglon)crate appear snlliciently obvious. 
 The associated limestones are fossiliferous and oolitic; the 
 gypsu.ns are selenitic, white, rose coloured, variegated and 
 ■mhydrous. In some localities the limestones contain ochres 
 and manganese of economic importance and occasionallv 
 •small quantities of malachite (sulphuret of copper), and 
 galena. Sandstone strata of about the same age have inter- 
 stratilied deposits of the grey sulphuret of copper which are 
 possibly of economic importance. Specimens of these ores 
 are found in my collection. Those particularly instructive 
 are the manganese in the limestone matrix and the nodules 
 of grey sulphuret of copper in the sandstone. The intrusive 
 locks of the formation are exemplified by a specimen of 
 amygdaloid from the tiap dyke of Arisaig.

 most rully is the paleontology, especially of our (•:iliiriaii 
 system. 1 iiave already observed that the lower sihiriaii 
 containing our auriferous deposits has not yet Turnished 
 fossils. The lowest geological position alfording fossils as 
 indicated by the fossils themselves appears to be the equi- 
 valent of the Hudson river group, A great bed of (Ira|)to- 
 lites and Lingulae of Hudson river facies fur nishes nimie- 
 rous specimens. Succeeding there are specimens from the 
 strata characterized by the (iraptolithus clintoiiensis Hall, 
 including Cephalopoda, Gasteropoda, Lamilli branchiata 
 Hrachiopoda, Crinoidea, Crustacea, (!ra])tolitidea. The next 
 group which appears to be the equivalents of the Magara 
 limestone is represented by fossils of the same families and 
 genera, but of dilVerent species. Among these are numerous 
 striking and peculiar foi'ms. The greater part of the ])re- 
 ceding fossils are new and undescribed. The next member 
 of our Silurian series is the e([uivalent of the lower Helder- 
 berg. This is well represented by fossils of the same fami- 
 lies and genera, as in the groups preceding: many of these 
 however have been figured and described by Prof. Hall. 
 Organisms highly characteristic of this group in Nova 
 Scotia are Dalmania Logani, Homatonotus Daro Soni Avicula 
 lloneymani. The greater part of the silurian fossils exhi- 
 bited yvere collected at Arisaig on the shore of the gulf of 
 St Lawrence. Here we have the silurian series complete 
 and the fossils in a tolerably good state of preservation. 
 The interesting collection of lingiike and a considerai)h' 
 |)roi)ortion of fossils of the Clinton group are derived from 
 the district of Mengomish. Here the geological series is 
 nearly as complete as at Arisaig, and the fossils in a better 
 state of preservation. The Niagara limestone geological 
 equivalent has not yet been distinguished in this locality. 
 A few are derived from the silurian series at Springville. 
 Hero we seem to have the C,linton group absent. Several

 As Arisai,!,^ appears to he thoroughly typical oC our silurian 
 system sul)se<{uent lo the loner silurian metamorphic I 
 generally refer to it in illustrating the silurian svstem' of 
 Nova Scot.a and in referring, I characterize the lou Jst group 
 or what I conceive to he the Hudson river A and \', the 
 second in ascending order or the apparent Clinton 15,' (he 
 Niagara limestone C, and the lower Jlelderberg \). 
 
 Devonian fossils are not represented in my collectio.i as 
 I have not found organisms in strata of this age. 
 
 The specimens next to the silurian are A-om the lower 
 carboniferous limestones. In these I have fot.nd and exhibited 
 Cochliodus teeth Orthoceras, Comdaria, IJellerophon, Gastero- 
 poda, ]5rachiopoda, I'hilipsia, Favosites and Fenestella. 
 Succeeding there are teeth of lloloptychius, Pdiizodus and 
 D.plodus from the coal measures. The last specimen in the 
 collection is a tooth of the Mastodon ohioticus from Cape 
 Hreton. I have farther illustrated the geology of Nova 
 Scotia by a geological map of Antigonish county connnuni- 
 cated to the Institute of natural science of ^ova Scotia, a map 
 and sections of Arisaig comnumicated to the geological 
 society of London, and a great section from the Atlantic to 
 the gulf of St Lawrence running across the province , the 
 distance being about 5() miles. This section exhibits two 
 great folds which are at the same time geological centres. 
 The one forms (he mountains of St Mary's and the other the 
 lUue mountains. The mounlains of St Mary's have a granite 
 centre. This is ihe intrusive rock of the metamorphic 
 Lower Silmian argilliles and quarlzites which include the 
 Sherbrooke gold lield. The quartzites, anticlinal to Sher- 
 brooke quartzites and argillites are overlaid unconformally 
 by the carJ)oniferous formation of Clenelg. The IJlue mouu- 
 lams in llir nofth \\csH:rii division of the soriion have a 
 
'-'■t 
 
 — !i(\ .- 
 
 syenite centre whicli intrudes into the Cossiiiferons rocks of 
 our Silurian system. On the north west of the mountains, we 
 have in the district through wiiich the line of section passes 
 A of Arisaig equivalent succeeded by the great lingula bed of 
 A', these in turn being succeeded by the carboniferous which 
 extends to the Northumberlandstrait on the gulf of St Law- 
 rence. The syenite of these mountains on the S. E. is over- 
 laid by slates, which appear to be an extension of the 
 Silurian and devonian series of Lochaber to which I have 
 already referred. These again are overlaid unconformally 
 by the carboniferous formation of Glenelg. It will be observed 
 that this glen is a locality of peculiar interest as it is the 
 place of parting of the auriferous lower silurian (and as far 
 as yet shown) the non auriferous silurian and devonian. It 
 is interesting to note that an extension of the line of section 
 into the gulf of St Lawrence and 20 miles onward will pass 
 through the triassic of Prince Edward island and include 
 all the geological formations which are represented in Nova 
 Scotia. The line of section and district maps are defined 
 on >F K inlay's map of Nova Scotia.

 The collections of luinerals made on the present occasion 
 are sulTicient evidence that the mineralogy of Xova Scotia is 
 very interesting, the variety of minerals and of their asso- 
 ciations represented being considerable, and the beauty of 
 many of the specimens unquestionable. That it is not only 
 of scientific interest but of economic importance is at once 
 obvious from the representation made of gold as it occui-s 
 at several localities, that of the bulk of metal obtained up 
 to the present time, as shown in a pyramid of considerable- 
 dimensions, viz : six feet three inches high and one foot audit 
 lialf square at the base, and that of coal in several columns, 
 varying from about five feet to over thirty seven feet in 
 height, shewing the actual thickness of some of the seams at 
 present worked. The statistical detail respecting these 
 minerals, given in another part of this Appcndit: b\ 
 P. S. Hamilton, esq., chief commissioner of mines, shew that 
 from Jan. 1st, J 862 to Sept. 30th IS()(). 8/i,700 ounces

 reference is made in the following brief descriptions of some 
 nf the minerals represented, and slatements as to their 
 economic value at the present early period of the mining

 sand IVom several localities, magnetic iron which is believed 
 to exist in considerable quantity, specular iron found in 
 several places in unknown amount, and brown hematite 
 which is known to exist in. at least five large deposits. One 
 of these, that situated at Londonderry, Colchester county, 
 has been worked for several years, and both mining and 
 smelting operations are carried on to a considerable extent. 
 Fine specimens of the ores found here are shewn in the cabi- 
 nets and among the large masses. The company not only 
 illustrate the quality of their ore, but also of the iron and 
 •steel produced at their works at Londonderry, and of (he 
 cutlery made from it in England. The chemical composition 
 ol the iron has been given by Dr. Percy as follous : —

 employed in the province and in the United States, chiefly in 
 brass-casting. One of these sands was exported last year to 
 the latter country to the extent of 250 tons to be used in 
 moulding brass tubes. Another of these sands has been 
 employed in the manufacture of scouring-bricks. 
 
 Clays.— Immense deposits of very fine qualities of clays 
 arc found, a few specimens only are shewn. These clays 
 are largely employed in making pottery, firebricks, and both 
 common and pressed bricks, which latter have been highly 
 esteemed abroad.

 sandstone, existing in vast rpiantity, which is applied after 
 simple hewing with an axe, in the construction of ovens 
 which are found to witlistand the action of lire for many

 of specimens shewing varieties of Slilbite, of Ai)ophyUite, 
 and of Heulandite. In the general cabinet are, among 
 othei's, most beautiful groups of Analcime and Natrolite, 
 (jhabazite in line crystals and interesting associations, and 
 in its Nova Scotian variety of deep red crystals called Acadi- 
 olite, of which a remarkably line specimen is shewn. Here 
 also are some species of rai'e occurrence, as 1'aroelite and 
 (lyrolite; some not as yet certainly found out of this region,
