I O INTUODUCTOItY. those wliicli arc properly Silurian, due mainly to the labours of Matthew and Hartt, but first brought [ niucntly forward in the second edition of this work, has been grc y extended iu its geo- graj)hical range; and American text-books no longer terminate Palteo- zoic life on the horizon of the Potsdam. The still greater fact of the extension of animal life backward into the Eozoic age, though still denied by some, is steadily advancing in acceptance. My own work in the geology of the Acadian Provinces, since 1868, has necessarily been limited by distance and by other occupations. It includes—(1.) A geological reconnaissance of Prince Edward Island,* in which I was assisted by Dr li. J. Harrington, and by which the subdivisions of the Trias in that island and the existence and distribution in it of rocks of the Ui)per Coal formation were first ascertained; (2.) A detailed Report on the Flora of the Upper Silurian and Devonian Rocks, published by tho Geological Survey of Canada in 1871, in which the fossil plants of the New Brunswick Devonian were first adequately figured and described, and their geological relations discussed ; (3.) A similar Report on the Fossil Plants of the Lower Carboniferous and Millstone-grit, in which these plants and the beds containing them were correlated with those in other parts of America and in Europe ; (4.) A Revision of the Post- pliocene Geology, in my " Notes on the Post-pliocene of Canada ;"-{- (5.) Memoirs on the Relation of the Upper Coal Measures of Nova Scotia to the Permian; ^ On the Impressions and Footprints of Animals in the Carboniferous Rocks ; § On Sitjillaria, Calainitcs, and Lepidodendron; \\ On New Carboniferous Batrachians;^ and on the Geolog
