only on their development westward towards the typical 

 Hastings locality that the characteristic Hastings schists 

 and associated strata are met with. 



In character and general aspect these rocks of the 

 Hastings series are almost identical with many of those 

 which in the Eastern Townships and in New Brunswick 

 have been regarded as probably Huronian for many years ; 

 and so marked is the resemblance that the author, 

 in presenting his summary report for 1894, referred the 

 rocks seen near the Bristol iron mines to that division. 

 It now appears very conclusively established that both in 

 the eastern and western areas we have a well developed 

 series of rocks, including limestones, gneiss and schists, 

 which are of undoubted sedimentary origin, but which 

 have been enormously acted upon by great intrusive 

 masses as well as by other dynamic agencies, so that 

 in many parts their original characters have almost 

 entirely disappeared. 



XoTE ON Carboniferous Entomostraca, from Nova 

 Scotia, in the Peter Eedpath Museum, Determined 

 AND Described by Prof. T. PtUPERT Jones, F.E.S., 

 AND Mr. Kirkby. 



By Sir William Dawson, LL.D., F.R.S. 



Having had occasion recently to look over some speci- 

 mens of these interesting animals in the Peter Eedpath 

 Museum, it occurs to me as likely to be useful to 

 collectors and geological workers to summarize in the 

 Record of Science what is known of them as occurring 

 in Nova Scotia.

 the second edition of that work,^ as well as later papers
