FOSSIL ANIMALS. 



Mr Hartt mentions (Appendix to Bailey's Report) that the only 

 animal fossils he has found in the Coal measures are Spirorbis carbon- 

 arius, attached to plants, and coprolites of fishes. In the Lower Car- 

 boniferous Limestones he has observed fossils of most of the genera 

 to be noticed in subsequent pages as occurring in these beds in Nova 

 Scotia; but they have not been examined as to species, which, however, 

 in so far as my observation extends, are identical with those of Nova 

 Scotia. Dr Jackson has named and figured three species of Palwo- 

 niscus from the Albert shales. One of these is represented in Fig. 62 

 above ; and I have seen another specimen which appears to belong to 

 a second of this species, but the figures and descriptions are not suf- 

 ficient for their certain determination.
