line and about twelve in the same space in width ; arranged in both longi- 

 tudinal and transverse rows, the latter sloping a little upwards from near 

 the middle outwards to each of the edges. Charleton Point ; H. R,

I have seen only one specimen of this species and from it the above 

 description was drawn up. It resembles P. laneeolata in general form 

 but seems to have smaller cells. 



P. GLADiOLA, n. sp. — Polyzoarj, consisting of a single elongated, narrow, 

 two-edged, unbranched frond, usually curved, gradually expanding from 

 an acute point to a width of about one line in a length of from one to 

 twenty-eight lines, moderately convex, often sub-angular along the middle 

 and with flat slopes to the edges, which are acute. Cells oblong ; when 

 perfect, nearly rectangular at their extremities ; when worn, one or both 

 ends rounded ; their length about twice their width, six to eight in the 

 length of one line, arranged in very regular longitudinal rows, of which 

 there are about twelve where the width of the frond is one line. The 

 largest frond seen is 28 lines in length and li in width at the larger 

 extremity. 



Near the west end Light-house ; H. R. Also at numerous localities 

 on the south side and east end of the island, in Divs. 1, 2, 3, A. G.

BRACHIOPODA.* 



Genus Lingula, Brugiere. 



L. QUADRATA, Eichwald. — Occurs at Charleton Point and English 

 Head ; H. R. Also at Junction CliflF in Div. 1, A. G. Mr. Shaler has 

 described this species under the name of L. elegantula, and in this he 

 may be right, but at present I think it not sufficiently different from the 

 Russian species to deserve a new name. At all events it is the same 

 form (occurring in the Trenton limestone) which we have always considered 

 to be L. quadrata.

E. Anticostiensis, n. sp. — Shell larger than j&. SMJ^n^owaZ^s, but pro- 

 portionally not so convex. Ventral valve ovate ; greatest width a little 



* Mr. N. S. Shaler has described a number of the species of Brachiopoda from 

 Anticosti, in Bulletin No. 4, of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge. As 

 many of the names adopted by him are different from those in this "work, I shall give a 

 list of his species at the end of the catalogue of the fossils of the Anticosti group.
