assemblage seems to indicate a fauna differing somewhat from any 
of these. 
The fossils herein described were presented to the Royal Ontario 
Museum of Palaeontology, Toronto, by the Hon. W. H. Hearst, who was 
Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines at the time Mr. Tyrrell’s ex- 
pedition was undertaken, and who is now Prime Minister of the Province 
of Ontario. 
As Professor Miller has published (0p. cit.) a summarized account 
of the general geology of the area, with references to the literature 
bearing on the subject, it will be unnecessary to repeat that information 
here, but it seems advisable to mention the chief palaeontological 
papers dealing with the Ordovician and Silurian faunae, not only of 
this immediate vicinity, but of Manitoba and the Arctic islands. The 
more important contributions are as follows:
