In Pictou County, JST.E. of the gold-bearing districts above referred 

 to, Dr. Dawson and the author have described fossiliferous rocks 

 containing Upper and probably Middle Silurian fossils *. There are 

 also fossils of possibly a lower group ; and as these strata are higher 

 in the series than the gold-bearing rocks, the latter may probably be 

 referable to the Lower Silurian.

On:e of the Devonian fossils is apparently allied to the Stomapods, 

 and is named Amphipeltis paradoxus by Mr. Salter ; it was obtained 

 by Dr. Dawson near St. John's, IS'ew Brunswick, where it occurred 

 with plant-remains ; another Crustacean fossil from the same locality 

 is a new Eurypterus — E.pulicaris. Other remains of Eurypteri have 

 been sent also by Dr. Dawson, from the Coal-measures of Port 

 Hood, Cape Breton, and of the Joggins, Nova Scotia; and with 

 these a new Amphipod — Diplostylus, having some characters of 

 alliance with Typhis and Brachyscelus.
