314 J. W. Dawson on the Flora of the Devonian 
plants throughout, but more abundantly in its central portion.’ 
At the latter a few plants have been found in shales of Upper 
Devonian age. The plants found at Gaspé were described in my 
former paper, and are— 
Prototaxites Logani Dawson. Psilophyton robustius Dawson. 
Lepidodendron Gaspianum Lawson. Selaginites formosus Dawson. 
Psilophyton princeps Dawson. Cordaites angustifolia Daw 
The plants from Kettle Point, noticed with doubt in my former 
paper, I may now refer to the following species :—

The oldest rocks seen in the vicinity of St. John are the s0- 
called syenites and altered slates in the ridges between the city 
and the Kennebeckasis River. These rocks are in great part 
eissose, and are no doubt altered sediments. They are uae 
of greenish colors; and in places they contain bands of dat 
slate and reddish felsite, as well as of gray quartzite. In theit 
upper part they alternate with white and graphitic crystalline = 
limestone, which overlies them in thick beds at M’Closkeney' a 
and Drury’s Coves on the Kennebeckasis, and again 0D ©”

rocks, at the suburb of Portland. These limestones are 
seen in a railway-cutting five miles to the eastward of St. ae 
and at Lily Lake. Near the Kennebeckasis, they are une a

which is coarse and of a red color, and contains numerous frag: _ 
ments of the limestone. wee
