New York and Eastern North America," being Memoir 9, 1908-1909, 

 of the New York State Museum. 



This work is of great importance for its accurate determination 

 of the Devonian faunas, for its incorporation of suggestions by Ells 

 and Ami as to the age of certain of Sir Wm. Logan's original sub- 

 divisions, and for the practical endorsation of the stratigraphy of 

 that pioneer investigator. 



Clarke's table of gaspé strata 



The Devonian section of Gaspé is given as follows : — 



Gaspé sandstones 



Grand Grève limestones (Logan's Nos. 7 and 8) 



Cap Bon Ami beds (Logan's Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6) 



St. Albans beds (Logan's Nos. 1 and 2) 



This work also contains an interesting review of the Devonian 

 of St. Helen's island, of Scaumenac Bay, and of the outlier at Dal- 

 housie, N.B. 



The last reference to the geology of QUebec that space will 

 permit is to the work of Dr. A. J. Foerste who prepared for the Geo- 

 logical Survey a report on "Upper Ordovician Formations in Ontario 

 and Quebec," which was published in 1916 as Memoir 83. Dr. 

 Foerste brought to this work an intimate knowledge of the Ordovician 

 of the Ohio region ; it is not remarkable, therefore, that the outstanding 

 feature of his report is the correlation of Canadian formations with 

 those of the United States. The work shows the modern tendency 

 in the detailed sections, each with its fauna separately indicated. Dr. 

 Foerste 's classification is given below; it will be observed that many 

 names of American formations are for the first time introduced into 

 Canadian geology.
