j. Organic Remains of the Little K. Group, No. 4. By G. F. Mallheiv, D. Sc. 



This is a short article describing the remainder of the air-breathers, so far 

 known, from the Plant Beds of the Little R. Group, to consist of one Insect, three 

 Arachnids, and one Crustacean. 



The insect is a wingless one belonging to the order Thysanura, and is related to 

 the modern Springtails. No similar insect of anything like such great antiquity has 

 been known hitherto. 



Only one of the Arachnids is sufficiently well preserved to give a fair idea of the 

 structure of the animal ; in the other two only the abdomen is preserved. The most 

 complete of these Arachnids is something like Anthracomartus of the coal-measures, 

 but has a wider and shorter cephalothorax. 



The crustacean described is Amphipellis paradoxus, Salter, which is referred 

 provisionally to the Isopocls.

The paper gives the results of the examination of a black garnet, (Andradite) 

 which occurs in association with the magnetic iron oie of the ' Paxton .Mine.'' Lut- 

 terworth, Ontario ; and also ot a brown andradite which is present in the Nepheline 

 Syenite of Dungannon. The first was found to be free from titanuim, while the 

 latter is titaniferous.
