614 E. ETHEEIDGE ON THE PALEONTOLOGY OF THE 



Feilden's fossils, and is one of much interest ; I have some doubts 

 as to the propriety of referring it to the genus Fenestella. It is 

 probably identical with that noticed in the preceding abstract as 

 possessing curved and zigzag interstices. 



1853. The 'Quarterly Journal' for this year contains a third 

 paper by Mr. Salter, " On Arctic Silurian Fossils " *, attached to 

 Dr. Sutherland's memoir " On the Geological and Glacial Phenomena 

 of the coasts of Davis Strait and Baffin's Bay " f . The fossils are 

 Upper Silurian in character, and chiefly from the neighbourhood of 

 Wellington Strait. At the S.W. end of Seal Island, a rock in Baring 

 Bay, a white crystalline limestone yielded a small species of Fene- 

 stella, figured in Sutherland's Journal J ; the same species is also 

 probably found at Leopold Island, Barrow Straits. 



1855. Mr. A. K. Isbister contributed a paper to this year's 

 ' Quarterly Journal,' " On the Geology of the Hudson's Bay Terri- 

 tories, and portions of the Arctic and North-western Regions of 

 America," &c. §, in which he gave copious lists of Upper Silurian 

 fossils from the Wellington Channel district, Baring, Lake Winnipeg, 

 and the Slave Lake, and also from the Carboniferous series of the 

 Mackenzie. One species of Fenestella is mentioned. 



1856. In the 'Report of the British Association' for 1855 || ap- 

 peared a paper by Mr. Salter, " One some Additions to the Geology 

 of the Arctic Regions," which contains a good general account of 

 Arctic geology. The coast-line of Albert Land, in lat. 78° 1ST., 

 is strewn with blocks containing numerous fossils, which " prove 

 to be all Carboniferous types ; corals of the genera CUsiophyllurn, 

 Zaphrentis, Lithostrotion, Slylastrcea, Michelinia, Brachiopod shells, 

 Producti, and Spirifers, with Fenestella &c." ^| . 



1858. An interesting appendix to a paper by Bear-Admiral 

 M'Clintock was given by the Rev. Samuel Haughton, F.R.S., entitled 

 " Descriptions of the Plates to illustrate the Geology of Captain 

 M'Clintock's Ice Travels," in the ' Journal of the Royal Dublin 

 Society ' **. A figure is given of a unique specimen from Gamier 

 Bay, Griffith's Island, " probably a Bryozoan coral" ff. 



1859. This form is again referred to as an "undescribed Bryozoan 

 zoophyte" by Dr. Haughton in his "Geological Account of the 

 Arctic Archipelago, drawn up principally from the specimens col- 

 lected by Captain F. L. M'Clintock from 1849 to 1859"$$. 



1860. The foregoing paper also appeared in the ' Journal of the 



* Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. ix. p. 312 ; and reprinted in the ' Manual and 

 Instructions for the Arctic Expedition,' 1875, p. 531.
