182 LIFE OF THE PLEISTOCENE 



Cacouna, and Riviere-du-Loup. 209 



Tattagouche River, near Bathurst, N.B. 210 



Bay de Chaleur, Bonaventure District, Quebec. 211 



Near Greenville on the River Rouge. 212 



One of the most westerly points at which marine fossils have been found 

 appears to be Renfrew, Ontario, from which deposits the following species are 

 recorded: 213 



Saxicava arctica 



Macoma balthica groettlandica 



Mallotus villosns- li 



F. NEW BRUNSWICK 



Marl deposits occur in New Brunswick and on Anticosti Island, but no 

 data are available concerning their contents. They are doubtless of post- 

 Champlain origin. Dall 215 has described Galba anticostiana from Marl Lake, 

 Anticosti Island, associated with Galba galbana. Ells 216 refers to a deposit near 

 Belledune Point, which is 2 feet thick and is overlaid by 5 feet of peat. Fresh 

 water shells were found in the marl bed. Similar deposits occur two miles 

 north of Charlo Station, in the bed of a small lake. 



G. NOVA SCOTIA 



The mastodon ranged as far as Nova Scotia in post- Wisconsin time, the 

 bones of this animal having been found near Lower Middle River settlement, 

 Victoria County, Cape Breton Island. From a stratum of sand and gravel 

 beneath 5 inches of meadow soil a molar tooth was found at Baddeck, Victoria 

 County, on the northwest side of Little Bras d'Or Lake. 217 



VI. Wisconsin Loess 



Both the early and late Wisconsin till sheet bear evidences of loess deposi- 

 tion, clearly showing that the agencies which formed this characteristic deposit 

 have been more or less active thruout the entire Pleistocene period. The
