Glacial Kettle holes in Canada. Robert Bell. 
General description of these holes. Their positions with reference to 
the phj sic :il features of the vicinity. Local it ies of kettle holes in Can- 
ada: Lake Superior; North Channel of lake Huron: Manitoulin island; 
northeast shore of Georgian hay: Spanish, Wahnepiti and Severn rivers; 
tin- Ottawa valley. Similar kettle-holes in California, Michigan, Nor- 
way. Sweden, and Finland. Occurrence at many differenl elevations. 
Greal size and depth of some examples. Their occurrence in groups 
and singly. Theories as to the general manner of their formation. Ex- 
planations of the mode of excavation. Broggen's and Renseb's views. 
Some constant Features as to their local surroundings. Conditions 
which would atl'ect the ice of the glaciers at these localities. One- 
sided recesses in the face of steep rocks. .Materials filling the holes. 
Geological data of their formation. Popular fallacies as to glacial ket- 
tle-holes. Illustrated by photographs, drawings and sketches. 
On the occurrence of a large urea of Nepheline Syenite in the 
townships of Dungannon and Faraday, eastern Ontario. 
Frank D. Adams. 
Description of the petrographical character or mode of occurrence of 
a large area of this rock discovered last summer in the Laurentian of 
eastern Ontario. The mass extends for a distance of over seven miles 
in an east and west direction and is in places exceedingly coarse in 
grain, nepheline individuals '11 feet in diameter having been observed. 
Yen large masses of sodalite have also been obtained. The rock pre- 
sents many striking peculiarities of composition. The paper concludes 
with a reference to the few other localities in the world where this rock 
is known to occur. 
On Nepheliyte Sodalite and Orthoclase from the Nepheline Sy 
enite of Dungannon, Hastings county, Ontario. B. J. 
HAH KINGTON. 
This paper presents the results of a chemical examination of the neph- 
eline and sodalite. as well as of a secondary orthoclase from the rock 
described in the last paper. 
On some of the C ret a ceous Fossils collected by Dr. {now Sir) 
Janus Hector, during Captain Falliser's Explorations in 
British Worth America, in 1857-60. J. F. Whitkavks. 
These fossils, which were kindly lent to the writer by the Geological 
Society of London, are partly from the Northwest Territories and 
partly from Vancouver Island. They were reported upon provisionally 
by .Mr. Etheridge in 1861 and 1863, but the subsequent publication by 
Mr. Meek of liis "Report on the Cretaceous and Tertiary Fossils of the 
Upper Missouri Country," and of an illustrated paper on the fossils of 
the Cretaceous rocks of Vancouver and the Sucia Islands, has enabled 
them to tie determined with much more accuracy now than was possi- 
hle then. Unfortunately, some of the fossils collected by Sir James 
I [ector cannot now he found. 
Notes on some Fossils from the Wanaimo formation of Van- 
couver, Hornby, and Denman /'stands, J. F. Whiteaves. 
The specimens referred to in this paper are the property of the Pro- 
vincial Museum at Victoria, Ik ('..and were obligingly lent by its 
curator. Mr. John Fannin. Many of them were collected quite recently 
bj Mr. Walter Harvey, of Ooma.x. They include a Gfryphaa not previ- 
ously noticed in these rocks, remarkably fine and perfect examples of 
Lytoceras jukesii Sharpe, and other interesting ammonitoid forms, three 
of whi(d) are probably new: also three new species of decapod Crusta- 
cea. Two of these Crustacea are crabs, and the other a long-tailed lob- 
ster-like species, apparently referable t<> the genus Podorates.
