(3.) The Lower Arisaig series represents the Clinton of New York, and the Upper Llandovery series of England, with perhaps a portion of the time elsewhere represented by the Wenlock or Niagara. (4.) It is not improbable that the fossiliferous rocks re- cognised by Dr Iloneyman at Doctor's Brook may represent a some- what lower member of the Upper Silurian, but still probably not so low as the Medina and Oneida of New York, or the Lower Llan- dovery of England. I entertain no doubt that farther and more minute investigation will make the details of our Nova Scotian and New Brunswick Upper Silurian more complete. I think, however, that the above general comparison will continue in the main to hold good. Ip. my own limited researches, I have found much difficulty to arise from the want of identity of tho fauna with that of typical Silurian localities, from the imperfect preservation and frequent dis- tortion of the fossils, and from the difficulty of tracing the succession of the contorted and faulted beds.
