Cobequid Mountains

Cobequid Mountains (spr. Cobequid Mauntäns, Cobiquid Hill), Gebirgszug in den Provinzen Neu-Braunschweig u. Neu-Schottland, in seinen oberen Schichten aus Granit, Porphyr u. Thonschiefer bestehend, in den unteren reiche Steinkohlen- u. Eisenlager enthaltend. In einer mittleren Höhe von 800–1000 Fuß u. nie über 21/2 Ml. breit, bietet dieser Gebirgszug doch außerordentlich schwer zu überwindende Schwierigkeiten für die von Halifax nach Quebek projectirte Eisenbahn, welche von[224] großer Wichtigkeit für den europäischen Handel Canadas sein würde.
