 <^Canad. Naturalist, new series, vol. viii, No. 7, pj*. 400-410. 



These fossils are interesting as forming the first instance of the occurrence of a well-marked 

 fauna in British Columbia. They were collected by Mr. G. M. Dawson, and consist of 27 species 

 of Mollusca and one of Annelida. Their state of preservation is, however, so bad that generic 

 characters are sometimes doubtful. A provisional list is given of the species, with brief descrip- 

 tions of those that appear to be new, and critical remarks on others. The new species recorded 

 are: Pinna subcancellata, Orammatodon ? itasyoucoensis, aai Trigonia dawsoni.
