and the other to Turritella sp. ? (/. c.jig. 7). An ill-defined 

 Lucina, which may prove to be Shaler's Fig. II, and an 

 Ostrea, complete the list. 



Mr. Grabau is of the opinion that they may represent a 

 new fauna, of more recent age than the Cretaceous, and this 

 is quite consistent with the conditions under which they occur, 

 so far to the south of any recognized Cretaceous outcrop. 

 The character of the matrix also, with a single exception, is 

 notably different from that in which undoubted Cretaceous 

 molluscs have been found elsewhere, being a micaceous 

 sandstone instead of a hardened clay or greensand. 



(b) Plant Remains. 



The plant remains are mostly in the hardened clay concre- 

 tions, but a few are in micaceous sandstone similar to that in 

 which the bulk of the molluscs occur. They include a few 

 good specimens, several of which are well-known Cretaceous 

 species. A complete list and descriptions of all the species 

 collected is appended, together with figures of such as seemed 

 worth depicting. 



Although the collection as a whole is meagre it is of im- 

 portance for the reason that it represents a locality for un- 

 doubted Cretaceous fossils at a point further east than that at 

 which such fossils have been previously found, or at least 

 from which they have been previously recorded. The speci- 

 mens are also unique in their geologic relations, by reason of 

 their occurrence in re-assorted drift material at a considerable 

 distance south of the terminal moraine. They therefore must 

 have been subjected first to erosion and transportation by ice 

 action and subsequently to further transportation by water.

These specimens are too fragmentary for anything except 

 provisional determination. They might be more or less sue-
