described by Prof. Leidy, Proc. Ac. Sci., Phila., April, 1856. 

 Figured in Canadian Naturalist, Yol. 1. Also portion of a pehns 

 in C. G. S. 



Cetacean — Species not determined ; obtained by Sir W. E. 

 Logan from clay near Montreal. Yertebrae in C. G. S. 



Mallotus Villosus. — Capelin : Nodules from Green's Creek, in 

 C. G. S., (fee. 



Ci/cloj^tems Lumptis (Lumpiis Angloium) — Lump sucker. No- 

 dules from Green's Creek, in C. G. S. 



* Cottus — A small fish from Green's Creek, found by Sheriff 

 Dickson, of Kingston ; imperfect, but probably of this genus. 



MOLLUSCA. 



( Gasteropoda.) 

 'Bulla Oryza, Tot! en, (Fig. 3) Montreal, base of Saxicava 

 Sand ; rare, but of larger size than recent specimens. Recent on 

 American coast, Maine and southward (Lit). 



* Bulla Jbebilis, Gould, (Fig. 4) Montreal, Logan's Farm. A 

 single small specimen, -wifh' a visible spire, apparently referable 

 to this species. It may be the young of the species figured by 

 Emmons in the New York reports, and it much resembles B. 

 Eegulbiensis of Wood's crag Mollusca. 



Buccinum Undatum, Lin. The specimens found at Montreal, 

 St Nicholas and Beauport, and referred to this species, differ very 

 much from recent specimens whether British or American. The 

 body is much smaller in proportion to the spire, which is more 

 elongated. The shell is much thinner, its revolving striae finer 

 and more uniform, and its transverse folds less distinct or absent. - 

 It always has one or more strong revolving ridges, giving in some 

 specimens an angular appearance to the whorls. _ It resembles in 

 form but not in markings, the variety figured by Sowerby (Min, 

 Con. Tab., C X.) as B. elongatum, and also, though less closely, 

 the variety lae-vnusculum of Wood's crag Mollusca. It corresponds 

 more nearly with the description of B. Donovani, Gould, If not 

 as I suspect, a distinct species from B. Undatum, this shell mus^ 

 be a delicate variety produced by a muddy bottom and sheltered 

 inland situation, a kind of habitat in which I have not seen the 

 living B. Undatum. I trust to obtain a more complete suite of 

 specimens to determine this question (Lit to Cor.) 



* Buccinum ciliatuvi, 0. Fabr., (Fig. 5), Logan's Farm, Mont- 

 real. This species now lives on the American banks, also in
