Belle Isle, and of Labrador (Packard). Dr. Bell dredged specimens, *uhat 

 appear to be referable to this species, at Ashe Inlet, Hudson Strait, in 1884. 

 Sir J. W. Dawson (who says that " it seems to be LejMs balcenaris of 

 Fabricius") states that B. a'enatns has been found fossil in the Pleistocene 

 of Portland, Maine; of St. John, N.B.; of Anticosti, Riviere du Loup, 

 Quebec and Montreal ; of Labrador and Vancouver Island. 



Balanus porcatus, Da Costa. 



Gaspe Bay, "on stones in 10 fathoms " (Sir J. W. Dawson, 1858). Near 

 Caribou Island ; and whole coast of Labrador, "found only in deep water" 

 (Packard). 



Fossil at Beauport, but much more rare in the Pleistocene of Canada than 

 £. Hameri. B. porcatus is " no doubt Lepas balanus of Fabricius from 

 Greenland " * (Sir J. W. Dawson). 



Balanus Hameri, Ascanius. 



" Coast of Nova Scotia. I have obtained specimens from Mr. Downes, of 

 Halifax, but have not elsewhere seen the species recent. It is B. Uddevallensis 

 of lists of Scandinavian fossils and B. tulipa of Moller. It is a widely 

 diffused Arctic and North Atlantic species." 



"Fossil — Montreal; St. Nicholas; Quebec; Anticosti; Riviere du Loup; 

 also, Uddevalla ; Russia (Murchison) ; Greenland (Spengler)." 



" This Acorn-shell is very abundant at Riviere du Loup, and fine speci- 

 mens are found entire, attached to stones and boulders in the boulder clay." 



" Very fine specimens are also obtained at River Beaudette, about 34 miles 

 west of Montreal. This locality is noteworthy as being further west than 

 the others mentioned. The specimens are also interesting from their remar- 

 kable perfection and the large masses which they form, some of which contain 

 as many as a dozen individuals attached to each other. They were collected 

 by Mr. A. W. McNown, of Riviere Beaudette, and by Mr. Stanton, C.E., of 

 Lancaster " (Sir J, W. Dawson). f 



The names of Balanus miser, Lamarck, and B. geniculatus, Stimpson, are 

 also included by Willis, in 1863, in his List of Nova Scotian Shells. 



CORONULA DIADEMA, L. 



Gaspe Bay, on skin of whales (Sir J. W. Dawson, 1858). "Sable Island, 

 whale's back " (Willis, 1863). Near Caribou Island, on the grampus ; and 

 " taken quite frequently from the skin of whales caught in the Gulf of St. 

 Lawrence " (Packard).
