According to Messrs IJailey and Mattliew, similar rocks occur also in several places in (he south-west of New Hruuswick, and underlie the Upper Silurian of that region, if this view of their age is correct, then it woidd follow (hat the mixed aipieous and volcanic d(\posits so characteristic of the lluronian recurred in the Lower Silurian, and again in the deposition of the Upper Silurian Masearcne series. On the evidence of mineral character, as well as of rehition to the UpjK'r Silurian series, there seems sonu' reason to suppose that the Kingston gronp of Messrs Hailey and Matthew, occupying the peiiin- Hiila between Kciincbceasis Ihiy luid the St Joliii River, and extending Bouth-westward to the coast, may also, as stated above, be of this age.
