Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Naturalist and Quarterly Journal of Science, 1875, Vol. 7 As the Society has done me the honor to elect me twice in succession to the office of President, and as my address of last year was occupied almost entirely awith local details I may be permitted on the present occasion to direct your attention in the first place to some general topics of scientific interest, and merely to notice our own more special work in the end of this address. From the many subjects to which your attention and that of kindred Societies has been called in the past year, I may select the following as deserving our attention The present aspect of inquiries as to the introduction of genera and species in geo logical time. (2) The growth of our knowledge of the Primor dial and Laurentian rocks and their fossils. (3) The questions relating to the so-called Glacial Period.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Naturalist and Quarterly Journal of Science, Vol. 4: With the Proceedings of the Natural History Society of Montreal The building of the Sheffield School is better than that of Columbia College, though it is an old medical school adapted to its present use; and the scope of the institution is wider, includ ing six distinct courses, any of which may be followed by the student. These are: lst, Chemistry and Mineralogy; 2nd, Eu gineering and Mechanics; 3rd, Mining and Metallurgy; 4th, Agriculture; 5th, Natural History and Geology; 6th, A Select Scientific and Literary Course. The class-rooms and laboratories struck me as remarkably ingenious and neat in all their arrange ments, and combining in a great degree all possible contriva-nces for the convenience of Professors and students. The bungling and uncomfortable arrangements too often seen in Academic rooms had evidently here been replaced by the exercise of some engineering and mechanical skill and contrivance, and by a com bination of lecture room and cabinet the means of illustration had been rendered extremely accessible. In token that the She ield School is not altogether a school of mines looking down into the bowels of the earth, its liberal founder has presented it with an Equatorial Telescope, made by Clark, with an object glass having an aperture of nine inches. It is placed in a tower constructed for it; and with a meridian circle and other instru ments, enables students to learn all the work of a regular observatory, as well as the operations of astronomical geodesy. Any one interested in the training of the young men of Canada can scarcely avoid a feeling of envy in visiting such an institution as this, furnished with so many facilities for enabling the active mind of youth to grasp all that is of practical utility or pro vocative of high and noble thought in the heaven above and in the earth beneath. At this moment a Canadian Sheffield, judiciously aiding any University having an adequate and per manent basis, would do more to promote the trade and manufac tures of this country, and its scientific reputation, than can be done by any other agency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Naturalist and Quarterly Journal of Science, Vol. 10: With the Proceedings of the Natural History Society of Montreal This genus was established by Salter, in 1858, for a very curious shell found in Scotland, in the Durness Limestone, one of the lowest members of the Lower Silurian or possibly within the limits of the Upper Cambrian. Salter found in this limestone two species of the genus, but one was too imperfect for description. The typical species P. invagination he regarded as the shell of a cephalopod mollusk allied to Orthoceras, but of very simple structure, having the chamber and siphuncle united into one organ. His definition of the genus was in these words; "siphuncle and septa combined, as a series of conical concave septa which fit into each other sheathwise." In 1860, Billings described, in the Canadian Naturalist, a species from the Calciferous Formation of Belleisle, under the name Piloceras Canadense. The specimens showed that the part described by Salter was not the external shell, but only the siphuncle, and that the shell, when complete, must have included a chambered portion surrounding this enormous siphuncle, which thus corresponded to the great siphuncle of the Lower Silurian shells known as Andoceras.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Naturalist and Quarterly Journal of Science, Vol. 9: With the Proceedings of the Natural History Society of Montreal From a Paper communicated to the Nova Scotian Institute of Natural Science, by J. W. Dawson, LL.D., F.R.S., &c.) The following remarks have reference to two papers by the Rev. D. Honeyman, D.C.L., Curator of the Provincial Museum, Halifax, published in the Transactions of the Nova Scotian Institute of Natural Science, Vol. iv., Part iv., 1878. These papers are respectively entitled - "Pre carboniferous Formations of Annapolis and King's Counties," and "Nova Scotian Geology, Pre-carboniferous, Lower Carboniferous, &c." Special reference will be made to the following points: (1.) The age assigned by Dr. H. to the fossiliferous rocks of Nictaux and New Canaan and their relation to the intrusive granites of the region. (2.) The Geology of the Pre-carboniferous Rocks of the Eastern part of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. 1. Nictaux and New Canaan. In the first of the papers above referred to, Dr. H.very freely criticises my conclusions respecting the age of the rocks of these localities, but does not take the trouble to state what these conclusions are, so that a reader unacquainted with the facts might take it for granted that all these rocks had been referred to the Devonian system, or that no definite idea of their age had previously been given. For this reason I shall take the liberty to quote from a paper on the Silurian and Devonian Rocks of Nova Scotia (April, 1860), my actual results, which are given in nearly the same form in Acadian Geology, 2nd edition, 1868.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian Naturalist, Vol. 8: And Quarterly Journal of Science; With the Proceedings of the Natural History Society of Montreal The Spongillid or fresh-water representatives of the marine sponges, though very widely distributed, are not yet known to be represented by a great number of species. It is probable that a systematic exploration of the great North American systems of lakes and rivers might bring many new forms to light. With the exception of S. Lordii, Bowerbank, from the sources of the Columbia River, the only Canadian spongilla which appears to have been described, is S. Dawsoni, of the same author, a form inhabiting the St. Lawrence River near Montreal, and other neighbouring waters. Having become interested in the examination of a fine species from the Lake of the Woods, obtained in connection with the work of the British North American Boundary Commission, I have been induced, at the same time, to examine a number of other specimens in the collection of Principal Dawson. Among these, and including the Lake of the Woods form, I find four species which I believe to be undescribed. These are here defined, and though I have not the whole of the literature of the subject at hand, provisionally named. The descriptions, from the poor state of some of the specimens, are necessarily not in all cases complete; but will, I believe, at least serve for the recognition of the species, with the aid of the figures.
