A RED LETTER DAY IN THE History or Picrou AND GEOLOGY OF 
DIVISION C. 
On the top of a hill at the end of the C strata mountains, 
on the line of the depression of the mountain summit already ob- 
served, on the right of the McGillivray strata I found an ex- 
posure of strata lithologically distinct from D. & C. These so 
much resemble the B’ strata of Dector Brook, Arisaig Township, 
that I was led to search in them for fossils. This happened 
eon a day ever to be remembered in Pictou, when H. R. H. 
the Prince of Wales was in Pictou en route to Prinee Edward 
Island. Few were in the country that day who could find the 
ways and means of getting to the town, these not being available 
I continued my search for fossils and found them. I collected 4 
specimens belonging to a new species of Homalonotus which is 
known in my collection as Homalonotus Siluriae Principis— 
Prince of Wales Homalonotus, two large lingule were discovered, 
also a discina and a form Incertae sedis. 
DESCRIPTION. 
Cand D strata as at Arisaig have each their characteristic homa- 
lonotus. The number of specimens of a species of homalonotus 
found in our new strata of the mountain seems to form a char- 
acteristic. Homalonotus dawsoni is characteristic of D. Homalo 
notus salteri, M. S. is characteristic of C. 
This w2s considered by Salter from the appearance of the 
pygidium to be Homalonotus delphinocephalus. When examined 
by him the head of the form was unknown. Specimens of the 
head were afterwards found which showed that it is not delphi- 
nocephalus. Ihave regarded it as a new species and named it 
after the late distinguished Paleontologist of H. M. Geological 
Survey of Great Britain. 
The thorax and pygidium are all that is known of the 
Homalonotus Siluriae Principis. The thorax has the character of 
the genus, being level backed; the pygidium is different from 
that of Homalenotus saltcri in not having a terminal spine. From
