In England and Canada the genus Asaphus rises into the 
Middle Silurian. 
It is not known to appear higher, not even in the Upper Sil- 
urian, much less in the Devonian. : 
The pygidium of a small asaphus occurs in the Wentworth,

INTRODUCTION. 
One morning in June, 1877, I left Halifax with the determin- 
ation of making an intimate acquaintance with the rocks of 
King’s County. Arriving by the train at the Wolfville station, 
I took the direct road, past Acadia College, to the high land, 
with the expectation of meeting with rock exposures. I took a 
passing look at'the amygdaloid boulders in the drain, regarding 
them as the possible fellow travellers-of our Halifax drift ac- 
quaintances. Reaching the height above Wolfville, I was grati- 
fied to find a good exposure of solid strata. Standing on these 
rocks, I deferred operations until I had admired the interesting 
scenery in view. Below lies old Acadia College, the beautiful 
Town of Wolfville, and Grand Pre, of Evangeline fame, with its 
brilliant garb of summer green. Beyond ‘stretches Cornwallis, 
with its serpentine streams, its fertile fields, and numerous vil- 
lages. Towering on the north is North mountain, with Blomidon 
looming and advancing into the Minas Basin, hiding the Minas 
Channel, Cape D’Or, and Cape Chignecto. This fine sheet of 
water, bounding Grand Pre and Cornwallis, extends to the dis- 
tant north as Minas Basin and Cobequid Bay. The Cobequid 
range of Cumberland:and Colchester rising to the dim distance 
beyond. 
Having thus indicated the sphere of our operations, and our 
first starting point, I shall:arrange my remarks on these opera- 
tions under three.comprehensive divisions.:—
