Fundy. It would seemto attain its maximum in April and May. Thalassionema.—Forms believed to be referable to this genius have been foundin several gatherings made by the Prince in Passamaquoddy bay. Some of these,collected in October, being composed of little else. The frustules bear considerableresemblance to those of Synedra, and again to some varieties of Rhizosolenia, but differgreatly from both. The most remarkable feature, the specimens referred to is theirenormous length, running from 300 to 800mu, with a zonal breadth from Z\ to 8 mu.The sculpture along the edge is a very minute row of points, perhaps running about20 in 10 mu. The cells show variations in diameter, and are often curved or flexuose,Plit do not taper at the ends or bear bristles, as in Rhizosolenia.. Perugallo followingVan ITeurek places the genvis Thalassionema between Synedra and Thalassiothrix.Dr. McKay is disposed to regard the form here described as new. It may be a varietyof Thalassiothrix nitschioides.

Of those who visit the Biological Station at St. Andrews, whether as touristsor as members of the staff and participants in its work, there are many who, attractedby the unusual beauty of its surroundings, would like to know something of the causesto which that beauty is due. I have therefore been asked by members of the Biologi-cal Board to prepare a short sketch of the geological features of the region. These,of course, are fully detailed in the reports of the Canadian Geological Survey, butare contained in many different volumes, and are not always easily accessible andare so associated with the geology of
