178 CARBONIFEROUS SYSTEM IN EASTERN CANADA. AMI. 



We would thus have the following tentative TABLE OP 

 FORMATIONS in the Carboniferous of part of Nova Scotia : 



NOTE. It is not at all improbable that the Smelt Brook formation (IX.) overlying 

 the New Glasgow (conglomerate) formation is equivalent to the Stellarton (VI.) or 

 " Coal Measures " formation, which would indicate clearly the existence, as in other 

 portions of the palreozoic in Eastern America, of two distinct series of formations 

 which are nevertheless synchronous. The writer hopes shortly to describe each of the 

 formations indicated in the above tentative Table of Formations for a portion of Nova 

 Scotia, together with the relations of the latter to other palaeozoic sediments in the 

 same and adjoining Province of New Brunswick.
