urst at Somersetvale. It is the first cutting north of the river Titti- 
gouche, The fossils are here in the greatest variety and abundance. 
The following ts give the approximate height of the bed 
above the present sea level: The height of the iron bridge over 
the Tittigouche is 60 feet; the foundation is about ten feet above 
sea level; the height of the top of the clay in the cutting is about 
seven feet above the height of the bridge; total, 77 feet. I found

Strata of the same age—great ancient coral reefs, replete with

Associated, with this is a great dike of intrusive trap. It is 
both basaltiform and amygdaloidal; geodes and amygdules are 
abundant. The minerals are agates, zeolites, and calcite. In ex- 
amining the amygdules, a moniliform specimen attracted my atten- 
tion ; on detaching it and examining it with a magnifying glass, I

that the trap was soft fluid when the corals were imbedded. They
