" The specimen is from tlie Museum of the Geological Survey of Canada, 

 Ottawa." — Woodward. 



With the exception of Unio Huhhardi, and possibly of some of the 

 plants, all the fossils from the " Lower Shales " in Skidegate Inlet, col- 

 lected by Mr. Richardson, are labelled " west of Alliford Bay." The 

 writer was informed by Mr. Richardson that all the specimens thus 

 labelled are from Maud Island, or Lina Island, but mostly from the 

 former. 



MOLLUSCA. 



Cephalopoda. 



(DiBRANCHIATA.) 



Phylloteuthis iNCERTUS. (Nom. prov.) 

 Plate 35, fig. 1. 



Expanded part of the gladius of the only specimen known to the writer 

 resembling that of the type of P. suhovata of Meek and Hayden, as de- 

 scribed and figured by Meek,* in some particulars, but differing apparently 

 therefrom in its larger size, much greater proportionate breadth anteriorly, 

 and broader midrib. Oblique striae of the alation much as in P. suhovata. 

 Shaft unknown. 



East end of Maud Island, Dr. G. M. Dawson, 1878 : an impression of 

 the greater part of the expanded portion of the gladius, which, how- 

 ever, is very imperfect at both ends and nowhere shows the exact mar- 

 ginal outline. Its actual dimensions are, length about forty-five milli- 

 metres, breadth a.bout thirty-four, whereas in Meek's type of P. suhovata, 

 which shows a considerable portion of the marginal outline, the length of 

 the organism, apart from the restoration, is thirty-nine mm., and the 

 greatest breadth only twenty-one and a half. 



Belemnites assimilis. (N. Sp.) 



Belemnitcs, (Sp. undt.) Whiteaves. 1876. This volume, jit. 1, p. 11, fig. 1, and pi. 1. figs.

 Belemnites dcnsus, Whiteaves. 1884. Ibid. , pt. 3, p. 194, pi. 22, fig. 1. But possibly 



not £. densus, Meek and Hayden (1858) ; which is said to be a 



Jurassic species. 



Skidegate Channel, west of Alliford Bay, J. Richardson, 1872 ; and 

 coal locality, south side of Skidegate Inlet, Dr. G. M. Dawson, 1878; the 

 specimens referred to on pages 11 and 194 of previous parts of this 

 volume.
