doxides. The species, so far as the parts preserved give 

 evidence, is Paradoxides Davidis, Salt. Associated with 

 this species were the following : — Paradoxides Eoveni, Ang ? 

 (pygidium) ; Agnostus punctousus, Aug., var. ; and A. brevi- 

 frons, Ang. 



In Newfoundland there would, therefore, appear to he a 

 fuller representation of the various forms of the genus 

 Paradoxides than has yet been found in any other part of 

 America. 



FAUNAS OF THE OLENUS ZONE. 



Of the faunas of the higher part of the Cambrian of New- 

 foundland, except so far as it is developed in the northern 

 and western part of the island, less is known. In the 

 south-eastern peninsula, the beds above the Paradoxides 

 beds are described as shallow-water deposits — sandstones 

 and flags similar to the Lingula flags of Great Britain. 



Mr. Billings has described from these upper measures 

 the following species (locality, Bell Island, in Conception 

 Bay) : — Eophyton Linnceanum, Tor.; E. Jukesi, Bill.; Arthra- 

 ria antiquata, Bill. ; Lingula Murrayi, Bill. ; Lingulella (?) 

 affinis, Bill. ; L. (?) sjnssa, Bill. ; and Cruziana similis, Bill. 

 From Kelly's Island, in Conception Bay, not far from Bell 

 Island, Mr. Whiteaves describes a pretty little Lingula 

 (Lingula B tiling siana). These fossils resemble those of the 

 Lingula flags in Great Britain and those found in the St. 

 John Group ; but the determination of exact horizons in the 

 upper part of the Cambrian in Newfoundland must await 

 the discovery of fossils in the finer beds of that part of the 

 formation. 



In this classification of the various Newfoundland Hori- 

 zons in the Paradoxides Zone, Mr. Matthew has placed 

 that of Paradoxides Kjerulfl first, or oldest, because that is 

 its position in Scandinavia. P. Kjerulfl is by some paleon- 

 tologists classed as an Olenellus, but it has not been shown 

 to possess the peculiar pygidium of that genus.
