Hence we get in these Barton beds a clue to, or suggestion of, the 
true Guelph fauna, which we may well believe was more fully devel- 
oped in the later deposits removed by glacial erosion.” 
WINONA—LAKE SHORE. 
On arrival at the Winona camp in May last, the writer found 
the water in the lake unusually high for that time of the year; he 
‘also discovered the ridge of sand at the east end along the shore was 
gradually extending westward. This would prove an excellent 
barrier to the waves and a great protection to the high banks there 
if permanently fixed. On enquiry I ascertained after I left Winona 
the residents had the worst storm that was known there for forty 
years, and that this sand-bar had been carried off into the lake and 
the particular portion referred to had disappeared altogether—not a 
vestiage of it was left. A large number of Cambro Silurian fossils 
rewarded research, bnt I fear not many can be claimed as new 
species. 
The Lingula submitted for inspection of the Section was found 
in a slab containing a ‘“‘ Trenton fossil.” A small portion was con- 
cealed by the matrix, but it was more completely developed by one 
of our members (Mr. Schuler), who now resides at Rochester, U. S. 
A. Ina work published by the late Palzeontologist of the Canadian 
Geological Survey (E. Billings), in 1865, containing description and 
figures of new or little known species of organic remains from the 
Silurian rocks, he figures a very fine ‘‘ Lamellibranch Cyrtodonta 
(Cypricardites) Hindi,” the only one known to him. The writer 
succeeded in obtaining another this last summer at Winona (Lake 
Shore), in good preservation, now in the British Museum A few 
other members of this family group are submitted, which probably 
have been already described ; however, the writer thinks it unsafe and 
strongly objects to names attached to fossils without comparison 
with the originals—figures are often misleading on certain points. 
The Section can see from the extract taken from the Geological 
Magazine, London, July 1903, that Prof. T. R. Jones, F.R.S., F.C. 
S., credits the Glacial Drift of Hamilton, Ont.; with producing some 
new minute ‘‘Crustaceans,” which he describes and figures in this 
well known scientific publication. 
Since the paper was written a few fine slabs have been for-
