NOTES ON THE GEOLOGY OF NEWFOUNDLAND WESTON. 155 



It is probable, however, that a portion of the rocks now 

 classed as Quebec group in Newfoundland belong to a higher- 

 zone. A glance at some of the fossils from these limestones 

 (which may be seen in the museum of the Geological Survey of 

 Canada) especially silicified forms which have been exposed by 

 dissolving the matrix with acids, will show the resemblance 

 between them and our Canadian Black River and Trenton forms 

 which is remarkable. 



The following are a few of the more interesting fossils 

 collected in various localities in Newfoundland, by Murray, 

 Richardson, and Weston :
