  summarized 
  account 
  of 
  geology, 
  while 
  in 
  addition 
  to 
  the 
  topo- 
  

   graphic 
  and 
  geologic 
  sheets 
  there 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  columnar 
  sections 
  

   and 
  one 
  of

  The 
  sedimentaries 
  described 
  range 
  upward 
  from 
  the 
  Archean, 
  

   but 
  they 
  appear 
  only 
  in 
  small 
  amount 
  on 
  the 
  map 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  and 
  

   north, 
  the 
  greater 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  area 
  being 
  covered 
  with 
  volcanic 
  

   ejections, 
  breccias 
  and 
  flows 
  cut 
  in 
  places 
  by 
  great 
  numbers 
  of 
  

   dikes 
  and 
  pierced 
  by 
  intrusive 
  masses. 
  They 
  range 
  from 
  rhyolites 
  

   through 
  andesites 
  to 
  basalts, 
  the 
  andesites 
  of 
  various 
  types 
  being 
  

   especially 
  prominent. 
  These 
  outbreaks 
  took 
  place 
  over 
  an 
  already 
  

   eroded 
  country 
  in 
  Eocene 
  and 
  Neocene 
  time. 
  The 
  erosion 
  since 
  

   then 
  of 
  these 
  great 
  masses 
  of 
  rather 
  easily 
  degraded 
  material 
  

   has 
  resulted 
  in 
  most 
  interesting 
  and 
  peculiar 
  types 
  of 
  topography.

  This 
  

   paper 
  gives 
  an 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  fossils 
  found 
  in 
  Cape 
  Breton, 
  Nova 
  

   Scotia, 
  in 
  a 
  set 
  of 
  beds 
  forming 
  the 
  lowest 
  Paleozoic 
  terrane 
  in 
  

   that 
  province. 
  The 
  forms 
  described 
  are 
  all 
  either 
  brachiopod 
  or 
  

   ostracod, 
  and 
  while 
  the 
  genera 
  correspond 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  Proto- 
  

   lenus 
  Fauna 
  (Cambrian) 
  in 
  New 
  Brunswick, 
  the 
  species 
  are 
  all 
  

   different. 
  

  

  The 
  forms 
  described 
  belong 
  to 
  the 
  brachiopoda 
  and 
  ostracoda. 
  

   Of 
  the 
  former 
  new 
  species 
  are 
  described 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  genera 
  

   Lingulella, 
  Leptobolus, 
  Obolus, 
  Acrothele 
  and 
  Acrotreta 
  ; 
  the 
  

   Obolus 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  belong 
  to 
  a 
  new 
  sub-genus 
  (Protobolus) 
  charac- 
  

   terized 
  T}y 
  the 
  approximation 
  of 
  the 
  vascular 
  trunks 
  in 
  the 
  ventral 
  

   valve. 
  

  

  The 
  Ostracoda 
  are 
  all 
  small 
  and 
  are 
  referred 
  to 
  two 
  genera, 
  

   Bradoria 
  (new) 
  and 
  Schmidtella. 
  

  

  The 
  article 
  is 
  accompanied 
  by 
  four 
  plates 
  of 
  figures 
  and 
  two 
  

   sections 
  to 
  show 
  the 
  relation 
  of 
  the 
  Etcheminian 
  terrane 
  to 
  the 
  

   formations 
  above 
  and 
  below.

  The 
  purpose 
  of 
  this 
  catalogue, 
  as 
  stated 
  in 
  

   the 
  preface, 
  is 
  to 
  record 
  the 
  additions 
  to 
  our 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  

   Foraminifera 
  obtained 
  by 
  the 
  deep-sea 
  dredgings 
  of 
  the 
  Albatross. 
  

   In 
  order 
  to 
  show 
  its 
  place 
  in 
  the 
  literature 
  of 
  the 
  subject 
  it 
  may 
  

   be 
  well 
  to 
  compare 
  it 
  with 
  Brady's 
  classic 
  report 
  on 
  the 
  Forami- 
  

   nifera 
  collected 
  by 
  the 
  Challenger 
  expedition. 
  

  

  The 
  latter 
  consists 
  of 
  814 
  pages 
  and 
  145 
  plates, 
  comprising 
  an 
  

   introduction 
  discussing 
  the 
  chief 
  problems 
  presented 
  by 
  this 
  

   group 
  of 
  Protozoa, 
  followed 
  by 
  a 
  bibliography, 
  a 
  new
