Division 2, as a comparatively barren ground, divides the lower from the upper faunas. Fossils of the lower orders prevail in the Basal Series; but the Hydrozoa, with a few exceptions, show themselves abundantly only in the Upper division (St. John Group). The Linguellae show their control of the Cambrian rocks by their uniform distribution; but the Trilobites, though abounding in the Upper and Lower divisions of the St. John Group, have left scarcely any remains in the intermediate strata. The Agnosti in this list are arranged in three groups or sections; Nos. 97-100 are Limbati; 101-106 ar z Longif routes; 107-108 are Brevifrontes; the fourth section of this genus, Lcavigati , is unknown in the St. John Group. Of the three groups present it will be observed that the Limbati have the widest range, and that the Brevifrontes are confined to the horizon Id. APPENDIX B. — DONATIONS TO THE MUSEUM. XX111. Committee on Invertebrates. — A part of the fine col- lection of Invertebrate marine animals from Passamaquoddy Bay, presented to the Society by Prof. W. F. Ganong, have been mounted and placed on exhibition in one of the rooms of the museum. They are specially valuable for reference, as they have been compared with collections in Harvard Museum and the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge, Mass., and the names accurately determined. Many of these objects are the skeletons or shells of animals of economical importance, of which two groups — the Echinodermate and the Mollusca — were described in Nos. VII. and VIII. of the Sociey’s Bulletin. They are therefore to the Canadian student of the Inverte- brata and of the food products of the country, a valuable typical series of specimens. A suitable case for the preser- vation of this collection is greatly require.d. DONATIONS TO THE MUSEUM. Date. Donor's Name and Description of Article. 1891 Mar. s W. D.
