 107 of hi- British Xorth American Boundary Comniis-ion Eeport, Dr. 

 Dawson has quoted Baculltes ocatus as occurring also at Wood Moun- 

 tain Astronomical Station, but the specimens thus identified, which are 

 in the Mu-eum of the Survey, seem to the writer, on the whole, to 

 acford better with the characters of B. compfeiS"s. though .-ome of 

 them appear to be almost intermediate between that species and 

 B. ovattts.

 East Fork of Milk Eiver, in drift boulder-, G. M. Daw-on, 1874, 

 H. M. Xorth American Boundaiy Commi,--ion : two large specimens, 

 the most perfect of which measures three inches and a quarter in its 

 diameter, as measured from the siphonal to the anti-iphonal -ide, at it- 

 laru-est extremity, l.iy two inche- and a half in its maximum lateral 

 diameter. 



xiccording to Dr. Dawson,-'' '■ the valley of the Ea-t Fork of Milk 

 Eiver, where it cros.ses the Line, is wide and ti-ough-like, with scarped 

 banks about forty feet in height. The clifts are compo-ed entirely of 

 drift deposits, and it maintains this character as far up and down a- I 

 have been able to examine it. Many fragments of Cretaceous fo—ils 

 and large masses of fossiliferous ironstone, are found in the bed of the 

 stream and in the clay banks; and so large a proportion of the drift fs 

 formed of the redistributed matter of the Cretaceou- day-shales, that 

 it -eems probable that they exist here at no very great depth. Baca- 

 ■lites grandis is among the iossils, and was not elsewhere observed; there
