containing numerous examples of the Brachiopod, Lingula 
Clintoni (Conrad) turned up at the small reservoir. It will be 
found in a side case in the Museum. ‘The writer was better 
pleased to find on a different bed of the upper red band, fallen 
from above, Lingula Acutirosra (Hall). Schuchert states the 
only one found was lost or mislaid after Hall’s description. As 
we have one already in the Clinton case, we can spare the last 
obtained to replace the missing one from the New York Survey 
Museum. 
The Association Paleontologist of the Dominion Survey, 
Professor Lambe, F. G. S., states in his contributions to Cana- 
dian Palzontology, Vol. IV., part Il., that a composite coral 
received from the Clinton rocks of Hamilton in 1880 is thought 
to be Cyathophyllum Articulatum. (What.) This may be 
added to the Clinton fossils. ‘The Section may recollect on my 
return from Anticosti, the writer called attention to an ancient 
beach and large boulder, now laid bare, but which was sub- 
merged when the inhabitants first settled at English Bay, that 
such indicated a rapid recent elevation. In the summary re- 
port for the calendar year 1901, the Very Reverend Professor 
Laflamme, of Laval University, one of the leading field geolo- 
gists of this continent, confirms the correctness of my state- 
ment that the island was undergoing a rapid elevation. The 
fishermen supposed the sea was retiring—a natural conclusion, 
but quite erroneous. The Principal of Laval mentions that 
when the marl from the shallow lakes was applied to the peaty 
soil it produced some wonderful crops of vegetables, etc. The 
writer was the first to suggest this there, but the credit of the 
discovery was due to a poor Mayo peasant, who reclaimed a 
bog there and subsequently found the rent increased by the 
landlord, as usual.
