These and other limestones are traced in succeeding pages and shown in the accom-

? Anticosti Island is composed of Silurian rocks, chiefly limestones, which are dis- 
cussed in detail in Logan’s Geology of Canada, Chapters x and xii. See also Schmitt, 
Monographie de 1’ Ile d’ Anticosti, 65-99 (1904). In view of a very general impression
