rocks abridged from tlie measured sections published in the ' Geology 

 of Canada.' Amongst the principal fossils here described, beginning 

 with the Protozoa, are Calathium, a new genus, 4 sp., Trachijum 

 2 sp., Stomatopora 2 sp., fragments of Crinoidea, Stenaster Huxleyi, 

 Linyula 3 sp., Acrotreta 1 sp., Orthis 3 sp., with portions of others, 

 Strophomena 2 sp., Camarella 3 sp., Rhi/nohondla 1 sp., Euchasma 

 1 sp., Eopterla 1 sp., Ctenodonta 1 sp. Amongst the Gasteropoda 

 are Holopea 1 s^., Straparollina 1 sp., Subulites 1 sp., Pleurotomaria 

 12 sp., Murchisonia 9 sp., Maclurea 11 sp., and opcrcula of three more, 

 Ophileta 2 sp., Helicotoma 4 sp., Eccidiomphcdus 3 sp., Metoptoma 



1 sp. Of Cephalopoda, Orthoceras 8 sp., Piloceras 3 sp. Of Nautilus 

 4 new species are provisionally named. Amongst the new species of 

 Crustacea are Baihyiirus 4 sp., Bathyurellus 6 sp., Dolichometopus 



2 sp., Asaplius 3 sp.,- N'deus 3 sp., Illcenus 5 sp., Harpides 2 sp., 

 LicAas 1 sp., Sliumardia 1, Oheirurus 6 sp., Amphion 3 sp., Triar- 

 thrus 1, Teleplius 1, Encrinurus (2) 1, Remophurides 2, Ampyx 4, 

 Agnostus 2. Entomostraca : Leperditia 3, Beyricliia 1. 



The next article or memoir contains a description of new fossils from 

 the Quebec group in Eastern Canada, with some others previously de- 

 scribed, and some from other formations. IVIost of these species were dis- 

 covered after the former memoir, describing the new fossils from Point 

 Levis, &c. had been printed. The new species are — Limjida 1, Orthis 

 4, Camarella 3, Eopteria 2, Murchisonia 1, Metoptoma 1, Helicotoma 

 1, Ophileta l,Bellerophon 1, Orthoceras 10, Cyrtoceras l,Asaphus2, 

 Bathyurellus 3, Amphion 2, Oheirurus 4, Remophurides \,Harpes 1, 

 Illcenus 4, Harpides 1, Calathium 1. Other species still remain to 

 be described ; but even the list which I have given above will suf- 

 fice to show how rich a mine of Silurian forms still remains to be 

 worked out in these old formations, and how far we still are from a 

 complete knowledge of their fossils. 



Another interesting work which has reached us from the other 

 side of the Atlantic is ' A Preliminary Eeport on the Geology of 

 New Brunswick, together with a Special Heport on the distribution 

 of the Uuebec Group in that Province,' by Henry Youle Hind, for- 

 merly Professor of Chemistry and Geology in the University of 

 Trinity College, Toronto. After giving in the introductory chapter 

 a detailed statement of all that had been hitherto published by other 

 geological explorers in the province, Mr. Youle Hind briefly states 

 the result of the last season's work. 



1. He describes the approximate breadth of the Quebec group, 

 the great metalliferous formation of JS'orth America, in various 

 localities. 



2. Having paid particular attention to the circumstances under 

 which the Albertite in Albert County has originated, he has come to 

 the conclusion that it is an inspissated petroleum, and that it has 

 originated from underlying Devonian rocks, probably of the same age 

 as those yielding the vast stores of petroleum in Canada and the 

 United States. 



3. The ascertained existence of the true Coal-measures within the 

 limits of the province is very important.
