of a part of the Saguenay Country. 133 
in Lake Huron, and have been mentioned. The most remark- 
able of the fossil remains we saw, was a trilobite (entomolithes 
-paradoxus of Linnzus,) (See,plate. 9) It is believed to be one 
‘of the largest that has ever been seen, and is deserving of notice, 
belonging as it does to a class of animals with which naturalists 
are totally unacquainted, and of which Parkinson says, “ We 
must content ourselves, I believe, with allowing that no animal 
resembling it is known.’? It is supposed to be a species of crab, 
A drawing of the same animal, though not precisely of the 
same variety, may be seen forming the frontispiece to the 3d 
edition of Bakewell’s « Introduction to Geology.”? Although 
the trilobite is very characteristic of the limestone in the Lower 
Province, it is the small species; no other gigantic specimen 
has been noticed ; Dr. Bigsby, however met with it on Lake 
Huron. Some sections of the pigmy tribolite (if such an ex- 
pression may be allowed) from Beauport and Montmorenci, 
beara strong resemblance in form to moths. We have in our 
possession an organic remain from the latter place, which ap- 
pears to represent a trilobite inserted in the siphuncular cavity 
of a small orthoceratite. If this conjecture be correct, it is 
worthy of attention, because it agrees with the known habits 
of the crustaceous tribe of animals which seek their food by 
entering into shellfish. Univalves have been brought up to 
Quebee from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, in which when partly 
mutilated, may be seen small crabs that have probably perished 
in an ineffectual attempt to retreat. A suitable’ punishment 
that should await all murderous intruders who steal upon the 
privacy} of others, whether their object be to destroy life or 
to kill time. 
The accompanying coppet-plate impression is by Mr. Smillie, 
from another accurate drawing with which we were favoured 
by Lieut. Ditmus. In both cases the engraver had also the ad- 
vantage of consulting the specimens.
