Texada Island. — One species of fo?sil brachiopoda and sixteen species 

 of fossil mollusca from a small outlier of Cretaceous rocks discovered by 

 Mr. Harvey in 1901, at the south-eastern end of the island, about half a 

 mile from the beach, on the two south branches of a small creek emptying 

 into Bull Passage, the channel betweein Ttixada and Lasqueti islands, oppo- 

 site the most northerly point oc hhe most northej.'ly island forming the 

 protection to Tucker Bay, on Lasqueti, and about five miles, oi perhaps 

 more, from the south end of Texada. The only Cretaceous fossils that 

 had previously been obtained from this island are a few fossil plants 

 from Gillies Bay, collected by Mr. Richardson in 1873. 



Lasqueti Island. — Small collections of fossils made by Mr. Harvey in 

 1896 and 1901. 



Sucia Islands. — Numerous fossils collected at these islands by Dr. 

 Newcombe in 1894 and 1896. 



For the opportunity of examining and studying these specimens, many 

 of which have been presented to the Museum of the Survey, the writer is 

 much obliged to the senders, especially to Mr. Harvey, to Dr. New- 

 combe, and the Rev, G. W. Taylor, for the many interesting fossils that 

 they have so kindly forwarded. 



Captain Falliser's Vancouver Island Fossils. — In 1896, the Geological 

 Society of London, through its president. Dr. Henry Woodward, kindly 

 lent to the writer all the Cretaceous fossils obtained at Vancouver Island 

 in 1860 by Sir J. W. Hector, during Captain Palliser's explorations, that 

 were then at Burlington House. 



Fossils from the Frovincial Museictn at Victoria. — All the local Cre- 

 taceous fossils from this Museum, including many fine specimens collected 

 at Hornby and Denman islands by Mr. Harvey in 1892, have also been 

 kindly lent to the writer by its curator, Mr. John Fannin. 



Since 1879, the following papers have been published on the V^ancouver 

 Cretaceous and its fossils.

Cretaceous Fossils from Vancouver Island Region. 

 By Dr. C. A. White. 

 Bulletin of the U. S. Geological Survey, No. 51, Part 3, pp. 33-48, pis. vi and 



VII. 



This paper is based upon fossils from Sucia, Waldron and Sheep Jack* islands, 

 received from Dr. Newberry, many of which are stated to have been 

 collected by Mr. E. W. McClure. Three new species, viz., Perna excavata, 

 Vanikoropsis Suciensis, and Ammonites Maclurci, are described and figured. 



*Dr. Newcombe says that this last name should be written Skip Jack.
