A letter was read from Mr. RkinCrd Brown, of Nova Scotia, 

 addressed to Prof. Johnson, dated Sydney Mines, 27th Oct. 

 1S47, containing the following in relation to some Fossil 

 fruits from the coal steam of that district: 



These Fossils were found in one part of the mine only, scat- 

 tered over an area of three or four acres, in some places so thick 

 that five or six might be found in one square yard. They lie in 

 the Shaie Roof immediately in contact with the Coal Seam.
