8. Notes oN THE PHYTO-PLANKTON OF THE Bay or Funpy anp Passamaquoppy Bay.— 
(Professor Bailey.) 
Professor Bailey continues his laborious studies of the microscopic plant-life of 
our Atlantic waters. He determines the species in gatherings made in successive 
months of the year, December excepted, and adds a list of diatoms secured in tow- 
nettings made by the Prince, the biological vessel belonging to the station at St. 
Andrews. He points out that non-planktonic species are frequently met with amongst 
neritic species secured far from shore, and the distinction is often, therefore, ill-defined. 
The gatherings in various months differ greatly, for while in January under twenty 
species were determined in the gatherings from St. Andrews to St. John, in August 
nearly eighty species were found. The Prince collections are similarly detailed, and 
interesting notes added including reference to a species of Thalassiothrix which is 
probably new to science. 
9. Tur GEOLOGICAL FEATURES OF THE St. Crorx River anp Passamaquoppy Bay.— 
(Professor Bailey.) 
In response to a suggestion made to Professor Bailey, he has prepared a condensed 
account of the geology of the site of the St. Andrews station and its environment. 
The Upper Devonian rocks of red sandstones and conglomerates of the St. Andrews 
peninsula contrast with the granites of the Maine shore opposite and of Dochet island 
above the station, and the Silurian strata extending from lake Utopia and St. George to 
Oak bay, both sides of the entrance and both sides of Waweig inlet. The interesting 
features, largely Pre-Cambrian probably, of the Western Isles are also indicated in the 
paper.
