The Island of Barbadoes is remarkable for the possession ofa Chalk containing a very large per centage of the (presumed)loricae of extinct animalcules. Their size is (miscroscopicallyspeaking) colossal, and they exhibit forms not found any whereelse in the known world. A figure of one of them, resemblinga jar with a lid to it, is shewn at A. 1855.] PASSING VISITS TO THE RICE LAKE, RIVER HUMBEK, GRENADIERS POND, &c. ^U3. Strangely enough, the Island ponds, opposite Toronto,favored us with specimens, also silicious, and bearing neareraffinity to the fossils of Barbadoes than any yet discovered, sofar as we know.
