masses of Eozoon in the Laurentian limestones of 

 that region ; > the Eozoon itself being there injected 

 with a hydrous silicate which may be described as 

 intermediate between glauconite and chlorite in 

 composition." 



In the Welsh specimen the silicate is of a deep 

 green colour, except where oxidized, and though 

 only 3 per cent, of the whole, is sufficient to give it 

 an olive colour and slight serpentinous lustre. In 

 the Pole Hill material, the silicate amounts to 5 

 per cent, of the whole, and is of a greyish colour.

 "Fossils Mineralized ^with Silicates" (Journal Geo- 

 logical Society ^ February, 1 879).
