The Carboniferous fossils are referred to the Mountain Limestone, 



the Komooks or Komax beds to the Fort Pierre group (New Jersey 



Greensand and Upper Chalk), and the Nanaimo beds to a lower and 



possibly Jurassic stage. The 2^ species noticed have all been described 



previously, but not fully, and not always figured. W. H. D.

In determining the origin and descent of species, the palaeontologist 



ought to commence with some local fauna, which has been so far 



worked out that future researches are not likely to add much fresh 



material. In accordance with this principle, the author has drawn up 



this Table of 2886 species, showing their distribution in the successive 



beds. H. A. N.
