Prefatory Remarks. 



The second part of this volume, which was published in 1879, consists 

 of a descriptive and illustrated Report on the fossils of the Cretaceous 

 rocks of Vancouver and the adjacent islands, collected by the late Mr. 

 James Richardson, in the years 1871-1875, both included. 



The present publication is a similar Report on the many collections of 

 fossils from these rocks that have been received and studied since 1879, 

 but more particularly during the last thirteen years. These collections 

 may be briefly indicated as follows : — 



Va7icouver Island. — Fossils collected on the Puntledge River, near 

 Comox, by the Rev. G. W. Taylor in 1889, by Mr. Walter Harvey in 

 1891 and 1892, by Dr. C. F. Newcombe in 1892, and by Mr. J. B. 

 Bennett in 1895 and 1896 ; at North West Bay by Mr. Harvey in 1897 ; 

 on the Nanaimo River, and at several localities near Nanaimo, by Mr. 

 Harvey in 1901 ; and at Brennan Creek, near Wellington, by the Rev. 

 G. W. Taylor in 1901. Brennan Creek, it may be mentioned, is two 

 miles from Wellington. It runs, Mr. Taylor states, from the northern 

 spur of Mount Benson, into Brennan Lake. 



Demnan Island. — Fossils collected by Mr. Harvey in 1892, 1893, 

 1895 and 1896, 



Hornby Island. — Fossils collected by Mr. Harvey in 1892-95, by Dr. 

 Newcombe in 1892, by Dr. Beadnell in 1895, by Mr. Bobbins in 1893, 

 1895 and 1896, and by Mr. Bennett in 1896 and 1898.
