28 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GEOLOGY OF MAINE. [bull, 165. 
is the fuller, and it is taken as the standard report of the facts in 
question. 
The fossils, rocks, and minerals of the collections referred to were 
destroyed by fire in 1866. The lists and identifications of the fossils 
are hence of special importance, as the originals are not in evidence. 
In this Sixth Annual Report of the Board of Agriculture for 1861 * 
is included a General Report upon the Geology of Maine, written 
by C. H. Hitchcock. 2 In the latter part appear lists of fossils from 
various localities in Maine, which were identified by E. Billings, 
Emmons, and Sir William (J. W.) Dawson. 
Waterville. — The following species of plants were reported b} r Em- 
mons from the clay slates of Waterville, Maine, 3 referred by Hitchcock 
to the Lower Silurian formation: 
1. Nereograspus jacksoni. 
2. Nereograspus loomisi. 
3. Nereograspus deweyi. 
4. Nereograspus gracilis. 
5. Nereograspus lanceolatus. 
6. Nereograspus pugnus. 
7. Myrianites murchisoni. 
8. Myrianites sillimani. 
Macliiasport. — At Machiasport, at the Point of Maine, Washington 
County, in dark calcareous slaty rocks underlying red sandstone, are 
reported the following fossils, determined by Billings, and classified 
by Hitchcock as Upper Silurian: 4 
1. Modiolopsis. 
2. Avicula, 
3. Pleurotomaria. 
In the midst of certain red sandstones and green shales the follow- 
ing is reported: 5 
1. Avicula. 
And in a white limestone in the same series an undeterminable species 
of shell is reported as completely filling the rocks. 6 
Lubec lead mines. — From similar rocks in the vicinity of the Lubec 
lead mines, on a little bay north of the productive veins, are: 7 
1. Orthis. 
2. Spirifera. 
3. Orthoceras. 
4. Calymene blumenbachii.
