GENERAL INDEX TO VOLS. L-VIL. 
PROCEEDINGS AND TRANSACTIONS 
OF THE 
NOVA SCOTIAN INSTITUTE OF NATURAL SCIENCE, 
[N. B.—In the following Index, Roman numerals refer to Volumes, Arabic 
numerals enclosed in brackets to Parts of Volumes, and Arabic numerals not thus 
enclosed to pages. Thus II (4), 63, means Vol. I, Part 4, Page 63. References 
to Parts are given only in the case of Vols. I. and II., the pagination in the suc- 
ceeding volumes being continuous. It should be noted that on the first page of 
Vol. I, Part 2, and of Vol. I, Part 3, respectively, Vol. II, Part 2, and Vol. IT, 
Part 3, were printed by mistake. 
The specific names of plants, animals. etc., which occur in this Index are the 
names of plants, animals, etc., either forming the subjects of separate communica- 
tions, or referred to in papers whose titles would not lead the reader to look for 
references to them there, or referred to in the minutes of the Proceedings of the 
Society. It has not been thought desirable to include in the Index references to 
species of plants, animals, &c., which are discussed in papers whose titles would 
lead the reader to turn to thei for such species. 
Plants, animals, &c., are referred to under their common or their scientific 
names according to the usage of the author cited. Hence readers seeking infor- 
mation should turn both to the scientific and to the common name. 
Under names of places have been entered all papers referring to such places 
in their titles, and papers which discuss the geology, &c., of such places, but 
whose titles would not lead the reader to suspect such discussion. But no attempt 
has been made to give a complete index to places referred to in the Transactions; 
and thus places referred to in general papers (¢. g., The Superficial Geology of 
Nova Scotia) are not cited in the Index. 
Under such general headings as Zoology, &c., only those papers are cited whose 
titles do not admit of more specific references. ]
