 the {Galena) Trenton Limestones of Lake Winnipeg and the Red Rivet- 

 Valley. Can. Record of Science, July, 1895, n pp. Montreal, Que. 

 As the title implies, this paper contains descriptions of eight new species 

 of Trenton fossils from the Maniloban region of Canada. It is printed 

 in "advance of an official report on the fossils of the Cambro-Silurian 

 rocks of Lake Winnipeg and its vicinity." The following species are 

 therein described : 



AlG/E. Molluscoidea. 



1. Chondrites patulus, 5. Rafinesquina lata, 



2. " cupressinus, Mollusca. 



3. " gracillimus, 6. Ascoceras costulatum, 

 Ccelenterata. 7. Cyrtoceras laticurvatum, 



4. Streptelasma robustum, 8, Eurystomites plicatus. 



They were obtained for the most part by various officers of the 

 Geological Survey of Canada who have visited those regions at different 

 times and include forms collected by Messrs Tyrrell, Weston, Dowling,

 deposits near Toronto.''' Journal of Geology, vol. in, No 6., pp.622 

 645. Fept. Oct., 1895. In this paper Dr. Coleman gives us the 

 result of his studies on one of the most interesting sections of glacial 

 deposits to be found in eastern Canada. He begins with a description of 

 the excellent sections exposed for nine miles and a half along the north 

 side of Lake Ontario from Victoria Park to the mouth of Highland 

 Creek. In the lower stratified clay are found numerous fossil remains 

 including boreal species of mosses and swamp-loving trees associated 

 with a remarkable extinct insect fauna. Twenty-nine species have 

 already been recorded by Dr. Scudder from these beds. In the over- 

 lying sands two species of shells were found : one freshwater and one 

 land. On p. 634 a section of the quarry at Taylor's brickyard, Don
