the head waters of the North Eiver, as well as at other places near the 

 centre of the island. These rocks were regarded as of Permian age. 



3rd. A series of horizontal beds of red shales and sandstones, 

 lithologically similar to the rocks of div. 2, which were regarded as 

 resting upon the denuded strata of the most northerly anticline, and as 

 occurring along certain portions of the north side of the Island, as at 

 Kew London and in the vicinity. The rocks of this division he sup- 

 posed might safely be assigned to the Trias, and the thickness of the 

 formation was estimated at 150 feet only. Similar strata are found at 

 Cape Turner to the east, and occasional impressions of plant stems are 

 found, though generally too indistinct for accurate inforaiation. The 

 age of the rocks of this division was based on the fossil Balliygnathus 

 already referred to. As a whole, the plant remains were supposed to 

 belong to species somewhat distinct from those found in the rocks of 

 division 2. 



Eegarding the structure of the Prince Edward rocks as a whole. 

 Bain held that the most northerly anticline was found at Cape Tryon 

 on the north shore, and that another appeared at CampbelFs Cove. 

 Among other fossil plants found by Bain was the species known 

 at Tylodendron, a form very like Knorria, which was referred to Sir 

 William Dawson and described by him under the name T. Baini, in 

 the Memoirs or Bulletin of the Redpath Museum of McGill University, 

 1890. 



In the Auk, Vol. III., 1885, Mr. Bain published a short note on the 

 last known occurrence on Prince Edward Island of the Wild Swan. 



Among other papers written by Mr. Bain, but which have apparent- 

 ly never been fully printed, the articles being delivered as lectures in 

 Charlottetown and elsewhere in the Island or communicated to the 

 local press, may be mentioned the following : —
