New Brutiiwick.—The rocks] in the vicinity of the city of St. John, constituting a port of the coast metamorphic series of New Brunswick, have been described in the official reports of Dr. Gesner and Dr. Bobbf; and additional facts respecting their strati- graphical relations, ascertained by Mr. Matthew, were stated in my paper in the ' Canadian Naturalist,' already referred to. The new interest attached to these beds, in consequence of the discovery of their copious fossil flora, induced me to re-examine all the sections, in company with Mr. Matthew, during my late visit; and that gentleman has recently extended the limits of our observations east- ward in the direction of Mispec. The results of these observations I shall state in some detail, as the precise age of the St. John series has not until now been determined. The oldest rocks seen in the vicinity of St. John are the so-called syenites and altered slates in the ridges between the city and the Kennebeckasis River. These rocks are in great part gneissose, and are no doubt altered sediments, lliey are usually of greenish colours; and in places they contain bandis of dark slate and reddish felsite, as well as of grey quartzite.
