VI. 



Balanus Hameri, Ascanius. 



Fossil — Montreal ; St. Nicholas ; Quebec ; Riviere-du-Loup ; 

 also, Uddevalla ; Russia (Murchison) ; Greenland (Spengler). 



Recent — Coast of Nova Scotia. I have obtained specimens 

 from Mr. Downes of Haliftix. but have not elsewhere seen the 

 species recent. It is B. UddevaUensis of lists of Scandinavian 

 fossils and B. tulijm of Muller. It is a widely diffused Arctic 

 and North Atlantic species. 



This Acorn-shell is very abundant at Riviere-du-Loup, and fine 

 specimens are found entire, attached to stones and boulders in the 

 Boulder-clay. 



Bajanus porcatus, DaCosta. 



Fossil — Beauport; glacial beds of Europe. 



Recent — Gulf St. Lawrence, and coast of New England ; 

 Labrador (Packard) ; and Arctic and northern seas generally. 

 It is no doubt Lepas balanus of Fabricius from Greenland. 



Much more rare in the Post-pliocene than the preceding 

 species. * 



Balanus a-enatus, Brug. 



Fossil — Montreal; Quebec; Rivi^re-du-Loup ; St. John,N.B. 

 (Matthew) ; Labrador (Packard) ; Portland, Maine ; glacial 

 beds of Europe. 



Recent — Arctic and northern seas, Greenland; Gulf St. Law- 

 rence and American coast. It seems to be Lepas halanaris of 

 Fabricius, Greenland. 



Eupagurus Bernhardus f Fabricius. 



Fossil — Riviere-du-Loup. A small specimen in a Turritella 

 may be the young of this common species. 



Hyas coarctata, Leach. 



Fossil — Rivi^re-du-Loup. A few claws only found, but evi- 

 dently of this common Gulf of St. Lawrence species. 



SUB-KINGDOM VERTEBRATA. 



The vertebrate animals of the Post-pliocene are few, and may 

 be summed up as follows : 



Mallotus villosus, Cuvier: 



The common capdin is found in nodules at Green's Creek on 

 the Ottawa.
