388 Canadian Record of Science. 



Note. — This bibliography was coiupleted in 1898, and met with tlie 

 approval of the late Director and other officers of the Geological Survey 

 of Canada, but was, at the suggestion of one of these officers, withheld 

 from publication in the hope that the compiler might find time to 

 extend the notes sufficiently to give the names of all new genera and 

 species described by Mr. Billings. The recent publication of a partial 

 and very inaccurate description of the writings of Mr. Billings has, 

 however, made it necessary to publish this bibliography without 

 further delay.
