318 PALEONTOLOGY. 



Contains a summary of the palaeontological results of researches in 

 the Devonian Formation of Canada, with a list of the fossils identified 

 (160 species). The Polyzcan genera Botryllojpora, Carinoj)ora, Tcenio- 

 pora^ and Gryptopora are briefly described. H. A. N.

 Clinton, Niagara, and Guelph Formations of Ontario, with de- 

 scriptions of new Species. Canad. Journ. N. Ser. vol. xiv. pp. 137- 

 160, figs. 1-6. 

 Note the species of fossils they had met with in an examination of the 

 Clinton, Niagara, and Guelph Formations of Ontario. 35 species are 

 recorded from the Clinton formation, including two new species^ (P^i7o- 

 dicUja'^ punctata and Tentaculites neglectus) ; 49 species from the Niagara 

 formation, including the new forms Coenites lunata, Alveolites Niaga- 

 rensis, AstrceopJiyllum gracile (n. gen.), Cannapora annulata, and Cla~ 

 thropora intermedia ; 20 species from the Guelph formation, including 

 the new form Megalomus compressus. All the species presenting points 

 of special interest, or previously imperfectly characterized, are treated in 

 detail, the rest being simply enumerated. H. A. N.

A resume is given of what has been written on the stratigraphy, 



M. Matheron's views being noticed at some length. All the plants 



and insects of this locality come from the floor of the upper bed of 



gypsum. They are paralleled with the Ostrea cyatliula beds of the 



Paris Basin, or are on the confines of the Eocene and Miocene (Oligo- 



cene). In the systematic description of the insects the following 



species are new — Nehria Tisiplione^ Panagceus dryadum, Feronia
