In a synopsis of the fauna in I)i\ 

 Matthew 1 notes the oeeurreuce of tl 

 twenty-one varieties of fossils. He 

 the Kennebeeasis Bay area he has 

 species : 2 



Anopolinus? sp. 

 Parobolina ? sp. 

 Anomocare ? 2 sp. 

 Ptychoparia, 2 sp, 

 Agraulossooialis Bill., var. 

 Microdiscus pnnctatos Salter, var.? 

 Agnostus acutilobus (cfr. gibbus). 



ision 1 of the St. »lolm group, Mr. 

 lirry genera, sixty -five species, and 

 states that in a higher horizon in 

 found the following association of 



Agnosfcus (cfr. Natlmrsti, Brogg). 



A. (cfr. parvifrous, Linrs.) 



A. umbo. 



A. acadicus Hartt, var. 



Hyolitbes, sp. 



Linuarssouia transversa Hartt, sp. 



In some preliminary notes on the higher fauna 3 he says that — 



The heavy band of black slates which runs through the center of the city of Saint 

 John has yielded the following species, contained in calcareous nodules : 



Ctenopyge (cfr.) spectabilis Biogg. 

 Orthis (cfr.) lenticularis Dal. 



Kutorgiua (cfr.) ciugulata Bill. 

 Kutorgina ? 



These indicate a horizon in the upper part of the Languid Hags. 

 A series of slates are exposed along tho north side of the Kennebeeasis Basin, whose 

 fossils indicate that they also pertain to the upper part of the Cambrian system : 

 Couoeephalites,aspecies with broad Kutorgiua (?),sp. 



free cheek and flaring geual 



spine. 

 Ptychoparia, a small species. 

 Agnostus (cfr.) pisiform is Ang. 

 A. (cfr.) richmoudensis Wal. 



Lingulella (cfr.) lepis Salter. 



Lingulella, sp. 



Eophyton linnaanum Torrell, var, 



Eophytera, sp. 



Arthraria, sp. 



Mr. Matthew 4 

 Kennebeeasis 



states 

 Itiver 



In a note to the American Journal of Science 

 that he has found Olenellus (?) kjerulfi in the 

 Basin in band c and d of his Division 1; and that the same species occurs 

 in the Cambrian beds of Newfoundland. Upou this reported discovery 

 Mr. S. W. Ford 5 eudeavored to show that as the species was found at 

 the base of the St. John Paradoxides beds and at the base of the Swed- 

 ish Paradoxides beds it was a true Paradoxides, and therefore did not 

 influence the question of the stratigraphical positiou of the Olenellus 

 fauna in North America. 



In an abstract of a paper on the Cambrian faunas of Cape Breton and 

 Newfoundland in the Canadian Record of Science, vol. 2, 1880, pp. 255- 

 258, that preceded the main report in the Royal Society of Canada 

 Transactions, 6 Mr. G. F. Matthew points out that the slates of Mira 

 River, Cape Breton, contain several species of trilobites, which show 

 that these measures are in the upper part of the Olenus zone or Lingula 

 flags of Great Britain. The species observed were Peltura scarabeojdes
