One of our exchanges, The Auk, says of it : — "It is a work so charmingly written, 

 and so true to Nature that it has never ceased to win admiration and serve as an 

 inspiration to bird-lovers. 



We commend this work to all our ornithological friends. — The Editor.

Matthew, G. F. — " On the occurrence of Cirripedes in the 

 Cambrian rocks of North America" Trans. N.Y. Academy 

 of Science, Vol. XV., pp. 137 — 140, 1896. The new species 

 described are : — 



(i) Pluinulites manuehnsis, from the sub-zone oi Paradoxides 

 Davidis, at Manuel Brook, Newfoundland. 



(2) Cirripodites Acadicus, (new genus and new species), 

 from the sub-zone o{ Paradoxides Eteniinicus, St. John, N. B. 



Dr. Matthew furnishes two figures of these species and 

 promises a more extended description in the near future.

Matthew, G. F. — Traces of the Ordovician System on the 

 Atlantic Coast and organic remains of Little River No. IV" 

 Trans. Roy. Soc, Can. 2nd Sec, Vol. I., Sect. IV., pp. 253 — 

 279. 



Dr. Matthew first reviews the discoveries of fossils made in 

 older palaeozoic strata in the maritime provinces by Gesner, 

 Dawson, Honeyman, Hall, Salter and others. He draws atten- 

 to the fact that "no trace of an Ordovician fanna had been obtained" 

 in Acadia until 1880, when "fossils of this age" were found in 

 certain quartzite and siliceous slates on the Beccaguimic River 

 in the North Western part of New Brunswick." In 1885 Mr. 

 H. M. Ami gave a preliminary list of the fossils found and these 

 were incorporated in Dr. Bailey's report.* Dr. Matthew then pro- 

 ceeds to describe the fossils " more recent than the Cambrian "
