Mr. 8S. W. Forp presented a paper:’ 
NOTES ON CERTAIN FOSSILS DISCOVERED WITHIN THE CITY 
LIMITS OF QUEBEC. 
On the 16th of July, 1885, the writer received by registered 
post from Alfred R. C. Selwyn, Director of the Geological 
Survey of Canada, a small collection of fossils obtained by Mr. 
T. C. Weston on the 24th of June of that year, from the strata 
at or near St. John’s Market, Quebec. ‘The letter accompany- 
ing the specimens appears to have miscarried, or, at least, did 
not reach me; but after studying the fossils for several days, I 
returned them, at the same time addressing a letter to Dr. 
Selwyn, containing a brief expression of the conclusions at 
which I had arrived concerning them. Among the notes which 
I made at that time in relation to these fossils, I find the fol- 
lowing: 
‘*T'he box from Dr. Selwyn contained four (4) pieces of 
lime-stone. I find upon these the following species: 
‘*1. Two specimens of the glabella of Remoplewrides (?) 
Schlotheimi Bill., but much smaller than the examples figured 
by Billings. Also a portion of a free-cheek, probably of this 
species. 
“2. One specimen of a Shumardia near to, if not identical 
with S. granulosa Bill. (Head). 
‘*3. Portion of the thorax (consisting of seven segments) of 
a species of Harpides—the species not determined. 
‘*4. 'T'wo specimens of the pygidium of a Trilobite probably 
identical with Bathyurus caudatus Bill., but much smaller. 
“<5. Numerous specimens of a small Lingula, most probably 
the young of Lingula Quebecensis Bill. 
“*6. Numerous specimens of a small Leptena or Stropho- 
mena, apparently undescribed. 
“*7, Several specimens of a species of Graptolithus, probably 
the Graptolithus (D.) pristiniformis of Hall. 
** 8. Portion of the plate of a Cystidean (?). 
“TJ consider the above species to be certainly ‘ Quebec;’ but 
it is very remarkable that, in the case of the species Remopleu- 
vides (?) Schlutheimi, Bathyurus caudatus, and Lingula Quebec- 
ensis, the forms should be so much smaller than the typical
