suffered ‘or been subjected to consideraable elevation, and 
consequent denudation, on account of the volcanic masses 
occurring at this locality. At Joliette, or “Industry Vil- 
lage,’ however, a small collection of fossils was made in 
1852 by Sir William Logan, and contains the following 
species, which point clearly to the presence of or decided 
close proximity to the Utica terrane, whence these speci- 
mens were collected. They are:— 
. Strophomena alternata, Conrad. 
. Leptena sericea, Sowerby. 
. Orthis testudinaria, Dalman. 
. Asaphus Canadensis, Chapman.

From an interesting collection made by Thos. Curry, of 
the Redpath Museum in connection wlth McGill Univer- 
sity, at the northern extremity of the Victoria Tubular 
Bridge, Point St. Charles, Montreal, the following species 
were identified by the writer :— 
p= 
. Climacograptus sp. 
. Leptograptus flaccidus, Hall. 
. Orthograptus quadrimucronatus, Hall. 
. Diplograptus sp. 
- Orthis testudinaria, Dalman. 
. Leptobolus insignis, Hall. 
. Cornulites immatuum, Hall. 
8. Endoceras proteiforme, Hall.

The shales in which the above were found are dark grey 
and bituminous, somewhat more calcareous than the shales 
of the Utica usually are, and somewhat indurated or altered, 
on account of the presence of the numerous dykes of 
syenite and trap which occur in this district. Not only 
near the above mentioned locality, but at the upper or 
western extremity of St. Helen’s Island, opposite Montreal, 
the Utica is seen to crop out with its characteristic fossils. 
Amongst the most recent additions to the knowledge of 
the Utica and its fauna about Montreal is the occurrence of 
a series of shales seen at low water last season (1891), 
which yielded the following forms :— 
1. Dendrograptus simplex, Walcott. 
2. Reteograptus ? Eucharis, Hall.
