MOVA SOOTIA. 067 to devote aufficient time to this object to attempt to trace the beds in their succession or continuation inland. Dr Honeyman has addressed himself with some success to the work of tracing the relations and continuation of the bedo exposed in the Arisaig section, and has published an interesting papr** on the subject in the Journal of the Geological Society (1864). In this paper ho divides the whole scries seen at Arisaig into five sub-sections, noted respectively in ascending order as A, B, B', C, D. He distinguishes the groups A and B from my Lower Arisaig series, wiiich he regards as equivalent to his groups B' and C, while D is the equivalent of my Upper Arisaig series. Group A, of Dr Honeyman's paper, includes the altered jaspideous shales seen near Arisaig Pier, and the gray argillaceous and arenaceous shales of Doctor's Brook. Dr Honeyman mentions, as occurring in them, species of Orthoceras, Murchisonia, Strophomena, Orthisj Rhyn- ehonella, Calymene, Comulites, Tentaculites, and Petrala (?), and, on the authority of Mr Salter, regards them as equivalents of the English Mayhill sandstone, a member of the Upper Llandovery series. Their thickness is estimated at 200 feet. Groups B and B' include principally dark and ferruginous shales. One of the most characteristic fossils of which is GraptoUthus Clinto- nensis. They contain also Tentaculites^ joints of crinoids, Strophomena depressa, and other fossils; and Dr Honeyman has added in his paper two species of Grammysia, G. triangulata, and G. cinffulata, and several other fossils not determined as to species. This group is regarded by Dr Honeyman and Mr Salter as equivalent to the Lower Ludlow of England, which is above the horizon of the American Clinto
