wor ay during the summer of 1864 by Prof. L. W. Barter, and

formations is given, with many details as to structure, fossils, geological 
relations, and economical products. The formations included are the 
Paleozoic, with the Azoic below these, and the Triassic Red Sandstone 
above, together with Post- eestor beds. ee e Report contains a large 
colored geological ccm se showing the limits of the out-cropping rocks. 
The outcrops are nearly parallel with Heb vane or about N.E. by E. in 
direction. The ve oic js in the region of Portlan ds and at St. Johns, be- 
tween it and the Bay of Fundy, occur Primordial rocks, affording, accord- 
ing to determinations by Mr. Hartt, Paradovides and other characteristi¢ 
fossils, besides some Brachiopods. Mr. Hartt observes upon these fossils :-— 
“Representatives of four genera of Trilobites have been obtained thus 
far from the Saint John rocks, viz:—Paradowides, Conocephalites, 7 
nosius, and a new genus? allied to Conocephalites. 
The number of species in each genus has not yet been er 
made out; but of Paradoxides there are at pre ni of Conocephaliies 
seven, and ‘of Agnostus and the new 4 aps each o

close resemblance to P. rugulosus, Candas from the Etage C of Barrande, 
in Bohemia, and one of the Conocephalites i is allied to C. coronatus 
rande, from the same fauna and horizon, though neither is ‘dentical with 
the Eu ropean species. 
There are six species of Brachiopoda, belonging to the genera Or this-
