The fossil remains obtained from these localities have been identified in 

 so far as the mode of preservation and condition of the specimens permit. 

 The collections made by Mr. Weston in 1890 have not yet been examined 

 as critically as might be desired, but they only serve to intensify the results 

 obtained in the examination of previously obtained material.

 Selwyn, Sir William Dawson, Professor James Hall, Professor Emmons, 

 Professor Walcott, Professor Marcou, Dr. Ells, Professor Lapworth, and 

 many others, on the geology of Quebec and its environs, have made that
