period of greatest refrigeration of which we have any evidence," 

 and then goes on to say : " of course, not including that mythi- 

 cal period of universal incasement in ice of which I have else- 

 where endeavoured to show in so far as Canada is concerned, 

 there is no evidence whatever." 



(3) From Green's Creek Prof. Penhallow records the fol- 

 lowing species of fossil plants (pp. 74 and j6, loc. cit. supra.) 



1. Acer saccharinum. 12. Fucus digitatus. 



2. Algje sp. 13. Gaylussaccea resinosa. 



3. Brasenia peltata. 14. Graminece, sp. 



4. Bromus ciliatus. 15. Oryzopsis asperifolia. 



5. Cyperaceae. 16. Populus balsamifera. 



6. Carex Maa;ellanica. 17. Populus grandidentata. 



7. Drosera rotundifolia. 18. Potamogeton pectinatus. 



8. Equisetum limosum. 19. Potamogeton perfoliatus. 



9. Equisetum scirpoides. 20. Potamogeton pusillus. 



10. Equisetum sylvaticum. 21. Potamogeton rulilans. 



11. Fontinalis ? sp. 22. Potentilla Anserina. 



Taking these lists and putting them together we have 

 altogether a series of no less than twenty-six species of fossij 

 plants from the calcareous nodules of Green's Creek and 

 Besserers, a few miles below Ottawa City. 



We are confident in stating that this number will probably 

 be doubled before many years if the members of the Geological 

 section of the Club make it a point to visit the localities in ques- 

 tion and obtain more material. We have a number of other 

 collections which have afforded the following species. 



(4) Stewart's collection — A.~Collected along the banks 

 of Green's Creek, near the bridge at Cyrville, Russell, Ontario, 

 by John Stewart, 1893. 



1. Saxicava rugosa, L. 3. Balanus crenatus, Bruguiere. 



2. Leda (Portlandia) arctica, Gray. 4. Mallotus villosus, Cuvier. ,
