Extract

The researches of the officers of the Geological Survey of X Canada have brought to light, in the Devonian rocks of Scaumenac Bay and of Campbelltown, a series of fossil fishes which are of especial interest to the geologist as well as to the zoologist, on account of the analogies which they bear to the fishes of the Old Eed Sandstone of Great Britain. Principally collected by Mr. G. H. Foord, these fishes have been described by Mr. J. F. Whiteaves, and are indeed remarkable for their beautiful state of preservation, which enables them to throw fresh light on many points in the structure of these ancient forms.
