The Anticosti Island Faunas. 
By W. H. Twenhofel. 
INTRODUCTION. 
The study of the Anticosti Island section was undertaken by 
the writer in the summer of 1909, the field work being done under 
the auspices of Peabody Museum of Yale University. The 
results derived from the field work and the preliminary study of 
the collections, were presented by Schuchert and Twenhofel at 
the Boston Meeting of the Geological Society of America and, 
later, published in the Bulletin of the Society. Subsequently the 
Geological Survey of Canada generously assumed the expense 
connected with the study of the faunas and a memoir will ulti- 
mately be published in which the palaeontology and everything 
pertaining to the geology will be exhaustively treated. The 
many questions arising from the study of the faunas have made 
further field work desirable, if not actually necessary, and this 
will be undertaken before final publication, although the manu- 
script and plates of the work as originally planned are now com- 
pleted. In the meantime, it has not appeared wise that the in- 
formation gained and the conclusions reached should be withheld 
and the present paper is an attempt to give a summary of the 
chief results. It is hoped that their publication will elicit com- 
ment and give the writer the benefit of suggestion and advice
