In the first part of this memoir, Dr. Dawson gives an account of the general appear- 

 ance and microscopic structure of a specimen of Eozoon canadense, found in the 

 Laurentian rocks at Tudor, in which the chambers of the skeleton are filled with a dark 

 colored coarse limestone. The author next deals with certain specimens from Long 

 Lake and Wentworth, and also from Madoc, and concludes by reviewing the objections 

 brought forward by Professors King and Rowney to the organic nature of Eozoon, Dr. 

 W. B. Carpenter adds a note on the appearances presented by thin slices of specimens 

 of Eozoon in which the canal-system has been infiltrated with transparent carbonate of 

 lime. (Nicholson in White and Nicholson's Bib. p. 93.)

This work deals principally with the history of the discovery of Eozoon canadense, 

 and with all the known facts bearing on its structure and nature. The author first 

 gives a descriptive sketch of the Laurentian formation, accompanied by sections, and a 

 colored map showing the distribution of the Laurentian Limestones in the counties of 

 Ottawa and Argenteuil. Next, a history is given of the various steps which led to the 

 discovery of Eozoon, and a record of its interpretation by Carpenter and the author
