made in regard to them, when it was ascertained from Dr. Hays — 
that his friend, with whom he had left the specimens, had sent 
them on some time previous. Unfortunately, however, up to 
this time they have not been received, and, as it is quite probable 
they may never be recovered, it has been thought desirable in — 
the interests of science, as well as in justice to the intrepid Arec- 
tic explorer, Dr. Hays, that such conclusions as can be deduced 
e meager collection of imperfect fossils found amongst 
the rock specimens collected by him, should be placed on record. 
Before expressing an opinion, however, in regard to the age — 
of the rock from which these specimens were obtained, the fol- _ 
lowing list of them, with brief descriptions of some of those — 
believed to be new to science, are given :’
