The special peculiarities of the oil-bearing sand-rock of the 
Bradford district have already been mentioned in this Journal, 
Report of Progress of the Geological Survey of Canada,

1880. (Dawson Brothers).—This volume contains the following 
Teports: Introduction, by Mr. Setwyn (6 pp.); on the Queen 
ogy of Southern New Brunswick, by Messrs. Barry and Exts; 
and Chemical contributions, by C. Horrmann. Mr. Dawson’s 
€ map (for which only approximate correctness is claimed), 
makes the southern half of the islands, between the parallels 52° 
and 53°, Triassic (Alpine Trias, it containing Monotis subcireula- 
ris Gabb and Halobia Lommeli Wiss., etc.) ; a middle portion, 
about Skidegat Inlet, crossing the island obliquely, and a north- 
em angle (north of the parallel of 54°), of Graham Island, Creta- 
Ceous; and the rest of Graham Island, Tertiary and “ probably” 
3000 feet, ey are generally much flexed, and toward the 
head of Skidegat Inlet there is a very sharp and steep flexure bend- 
Pi double a coal-bed; and the coal is anthracite. Cretaceous 
fossils (including Ammonites, Belemnites, etc.) are numerous, and 
Some of them have been described by Mr. Whiteaves in Mesozoic 
Fossils, Vol. I, Part 1. The Cretaceous and Triassic rocks are 
‘nconformable, and so also the Cretaceous and Tertiary. pe
