Prof. Elake, having satisfied himself of the inorganic nature ofEozoon at St. Pierre, had been to Tudor without obtaining any lighton the specimen. The crystallization of the material and its passinginto the cracks might be due to subsequent mineralization, and theevidence of bedding passing across the specimen was doubtful, butthe specimen itself was perfectly convincing. He was sure thatSir J. ^^^ Dawson never expected the so-called fossil would dieout li
