genera ure Arcbreocyathus, Obolella, Kutorgina, and Salte'rella. In 

 reprinting, in 1865, the article published in 1861, Mr. Billings added 

 a new species, Archwocyathus profundus ; and in the same year described 

 Acrotreta gemma from near Portland Creek. 



The mode of occurrence of the Cambrian section and fauna on the 

 northwest coast of Newfoundland is given by Sir William Logan in the 

 description of the geological section near Bonne Bay. 1 



From a collection of fossils from Newfoundland sent by Mr. Alexan- 

 der Murray to Mr. E. Billings, there was described in 18G5 Bathyurus 

 gregarius= Solenopleura gregarius from the Paradoxides horizon of south- 

 east Newfoundland. 2 Subsequently he 3 described the fauna found at 

 Great Bell Island and also " Fossils from the Meneviau Group," under 

 which we find Obolella ? miser, StraparolHna remota, Hyolithes excel- 

 lens, Agraulos socialis, A. strenuus, A.affinis, Solenopleura communis, Ano- 

 polenus venustus, Paradoxides tenellus, P. decorus, Iphidea, n.geu., Iphidea 

 bella, Stenotheca pauper, Scenella, n. gQn., Scenella reticulata. Also from 

 the shales and sandstones of Great Bell Island, Conception Bay : Eophy- 

 ton linnwanum, E. julcesi, Arthraria antiquata, Lingula murrayi, Lin- 

 gulella (?) affinis, L. (?) spissa, and Gruziana similis. 



With the exception of Obolella? miser, Solenopleu ra communis, Steno 

 theca pauper, and Scenella reticulata the species described in 1872 were 

 republished in the appendix to the report of progress of the Geological 

 Survey of Newfoundland for 1881. 



In 1878 Mr. J. F. Whiteaves described 4 a new species of Lingula, L. 

 billingsiana, from the shales of Kelley's Island, and republished Mur- 

 ray's geological section on Manuel's Brook, southeast Newfoundland, 

 with a list of fossils collected there as follows : 1. Agnostus acadicus ; 

 2. Agnostus (sp. undet.) ; 3. Microdiscus punctatus ; 4. M. dawsoni ; 5. 

 Gonocephalites tener ; 6. G. baileyi ; 7. G. orestes?; 8. Paradoxides 

 sp. undet.), stating that Nos. 1, 3, 4, 5, 0, and possibly 7, are common to 

 the Primordial slates of St. John, New Brunswick, and to the shales of 

 Manuel's Brook. 



In 1887 when reviewing the Cambrian faunas of Cape Breton and 

 Newfoundland Mr. G. F. Matthew 5 described a new species from the 

 Olenellus zone, Solenopleura bombifrons, and identified from Manuel's 

 Brook Paradoxides sp., Agnostus gibbus (?), Agraulos socialis, and Hy- 

 olithes sp. From Trinity Bay he identified in addition to the species 

 mentioned by Mr. Billings Eocystites sp., Agnostus Iwvigatus, A. punctu-
