NoTE.—It is not at all improbable that the Smelt Brook formation (IX.) overlying 
the New Glasgow (conglomerate) formation is equivalent to the Stellarton (VI.) or 
“*Coal Measures” formation, which would indicate clearly the existence, as in other 
portions of the paleozoic in Eastern America, of two distinct series of formations 
which are nevertheless synchronous. The writer hopes shortly to describe each of the 
formations indicated in the above tentative Table of Formations for a portion of Nova 
Scotia, together with the relations of the latter to ether paleeozoic sediments in the 
same and adjoining Province of New Brunswick.
