Geol- 1868, page 231, fig. 62, one o f a great num- ber of very perfect fish feo^^S/cr^J^' Acad.^eo/, l^if>. found in the bituminous shale of the Albertite (fossil petroleum) district of the Albert mine, Hillsborough, N. Brunswick; flattened by pressure, but with fins as perfect as in life, and all their scales in place, instead of being scattered about as Joggins and generally elsewhere in the Lower Carboniferous strata ; in fact the fish have been mummified like the old Egyptians in asphalt It is not likely that any such locality will be discovered in Pennsylvania; but an abundance of the scales of this kind of fish are found in our rocks, and it is well to show the form of the lish that they belong to. Palseoniscus brainerdi, Thomas. Bost. Soc. N. Hist. Vol. 4, 1853; Pal. Ohio Vol. 1, p. 280, where it is said that although the Berea Grit of Ohio is a coarse rock usually barren of all fossils, yet its upper layers at Chagrin Falls contain a large number of this species of fish,-no traces which have been dis- covered elsewhere. See also Pal. Ohio, Vol. 1, p. 346. Mr. G. K. Gilbert, Asst. Geol. Sur. Ohio, discovered in the Berea Grit on Oil Creek (as he understood the rock) in Venango Co., Pa., the most remarkable accumulation of fish spines Dr. New- berry knew, scattered over a detached slab of sandst
