Dr. Woodward (op. cit., pp. 398 <k 399) identifies two specimens from 

 Hornby Island with L. Canadensis, although no other species that the 

 writer is aware of, is yet known to be common to the Nanaimo group of 

 the Vancouver Cretaceous and the Fort Benton formation of the country 

 to the east of the mountains. Dr. Woodward's notes on these Hornby 

 Island specimens as are follows : 



No. 55 c. One half of a dark nodule (6^" x 4"), exposing the und; r 

 side of a large Crustacean, showing the five sternites and the bases of the 

 thoracic limbs." (PI. 41, fig. 1.) " I have referred this specimen to 

 Dr. Whiteaves' species L. Canadensis, with which it agrees in size, being 

 one of the largest specimens of the fossil Palinurids from this locality. 



" It exhibits the under surface of the cephalothorax, with the sterna 

 and the basal joints and portions of the five pairs of ambulatory appen- 

 dages, one or more being nearly complete. The sternum forms a rather 

 broad and sornewhat triangular area, in front of which the mandibles 

 and the labrum are seen, with the spinous stout basal joints of the long 

 stiff antenna?. There are also traces of the antennules visible. 



" Each sternite, carrying the thoracic limbs, is ornamented with a pair 

 of rounded, sub-central tubercles, except the first, which has only a single 

 central one. 



" Upper Cretaceous : Hornby Island ; collected by Mr. Bobbins, pre- 

 served in the Provincial Museum at Victoria, B.C. 



" Here I would also place a second specimen, preserved in a half nodule 

 No. 7 (mai-ked 2 in ink), which I refer to L. Canadensis. The half 

 nodule measures 6" x 4", and displays one of the large antennae and five 

 of the walking legs very well preserved. The surface of the appendages 

 is rugose. Three of the body-segments can be seen. Locality : Hornby 

 Island; W. Harvey, 1895." 



MOLLUSC A. 

 Cephalopoda. 



(DiBRANCHIATA.) 



Belemnites. (Species indeterminable.) 



Beach at Hornby Island, W. Harvey, 1892 : a slender phragmocone, 

 forty millimetres long and seven broad at the larger end. The chambers, 

 as seen when part of the surface is rubbed down, are very numerous, and 

 the siphuncle is marginal.
