 the exception of the last) as the perch. 
 
 3. Etox boreut ? Agassiz.— The specimen preserved, was caught in the small 
 
 lake on lot 11, range 3, Montcalm, and 
 agrees very well with the description of E. 
 boreus ia Agassiz's "Lake Superior," p. 317, 
 with the exception, that the lateral line is 
 very indistinct, instead of being " very dis- 
 tinct." Pike were numerous in the same 
 lakes as the cat-fish and perch and in the 
 Rouge as far up as we ascended. 
 
 4. Salmofontinalit, Mitchill.— Abounds in nearly all the lakes and streams 
 
 in the district. In those lakes where cat-fish, 
 
 pike and perch occur, no trout were caught.

 found in Sixteen Island, Trembling and Three

 inches in length and about two pounds in 
 weight, was abundant in all the lakes and in 
 the Rouge and Devil's Rivera. On the aides, 
 the scales have a beautiful bronze or golden 
 lustre, and the basal half and margin of each 
 is black. The fin-rays are as follows : Br. 
 3, D. 9. C. 20. V. 8. P. 16. This fish 
 may be Cyprinut Corporalit, Mitchill, but does 
 not agree satisfactorily,with any species I have 
 seen described. 
 
 9. " pulchellut, Storer. — This was the most abundant fish in all th& 
 
 lakes and rivers throughout the district. 
 
 10. £euetieu</y'on^a{w, Agassis. — Abundant in streams flowing into the small

 their pectoral fins.

 markable that it should be so abundant to 
 the north of the Ottawa.

 Hipparchia nepkele ? Kirby.— Abundant amongst grass on Hamilton's

 Limenitis Arthemis, Drury. — Very abundant throughout the district, from 
 
 the 26th June till the end of July, a few 
 lingering till the middle of August. 
 Cynthia cardui, Linn. — One specimen met with at Hamilton's Farm on 
 
 the 21st August. 
 Vanessa Malanta, Linn. — I observed a butterfly which appeared to be of 
 
 this species, at Sugar-bush Lake on the 24th 
 of June. 
 " ^ntiopa, Linn.— Qrenville Village, May 13th ; a few seen in the

 " Milberti, GoAi.,furcillata, Say. — Grenville Village, May 14th ; 
 
 Rouge, July 10th, and occasionally seen at 
 Hamilton's Farm, up to the 31st August. 
 " /. album, Boisd. — Common throughout the district, from May 
 ' 19th till the end of September. One observed 
 
 near Grenville on the 18th of October. 
 Crrapta Progne, Fab. — Abundant everywhere, from the 14th May till tlic 
 
 middle of September. 
 " C. album, Godt. — I took several specimens of a Grapta along 
 
 the Rouge which I believe to be of this 
 ' ' species. 
 
 jlrgynnis Dalphnis (?), Cramer. — First seen, July 2nd, and last, Sep- 
 tember 12th. Abundant. I am of opinion 
 that Boisduval was in error in considering ^i. 
 ' Aphrodite, Fab. and A. Cybele, F&h., aa the 
 
 same species. There are at least three closely 
 • allied species of .4rgrynnis inhabiting Canada, 
 
 but nothing short of breeding each from the 
 ■ larva will satisfactorily separate them. My 
 ^; ' specimens are all too small for j3. Cybele, 
 
 Fab. 
 Argynnis Myrina, Cramer. — From June 5th till August 31st. Common. 
 " Bellona, Fab. — The only specimen met with, was captured in 
 
 Arundel on tiie 30th June. 
 Melitaa Tharos, Cramer. — Sugar-bush Lake, June 29th; Bevan's Lake, 
 
 July 2nd ; Devil's River, July I4th. 
 Thccla (?) — I observed a large Thecla at Huckleberry Rapids, July 30tb, 
 
 but did not succeed in capturing it. 
 Lycmna Americana, Harris. — Numerous on grass land at Hamilton's Farm, 
 
 from the 21st to the 31st August. 
 Polyommatus psevdargiolus, Boisd. — Numerous in Grenville and about 
 
 Sixteen Island Lake in May. Worn speci-

 rious localities in June, July and August. I

 138. Sphinx.— Two species of Sphinx were captured in July, in Arundel and 
 
 DeSalfaberry, allied to S. KalmicB, A. & S.

 tisfactorily with Dr. Harris's descriptions of 
 these species given in the Amor. Jour. Sci.

 body 5 lines. 
 
 141. Ctenucha Latreillanaf Kirby.— One specimen taken in Arundel, July 16th. 
 
 142. Crocota brevieomi$, Walker. — Township of DeSalaberry ; Hamilton's 
 
 Farm, July and August. 
 
 143. Medariamendiea, Walker. — NearBevan'ti Lake, July. 
 
 144. Jtrctia Parthenot, Harris.— I took a fine ^rctia on the Devil's River, July 
 
 19th, agreeing in every respect with the 
 description and figure of this ipocies in Agas- 
 siz's "Lake Superior," with the exception that 
 it has five, instead of three cream-coloured

 straight and has a yellow spot on its inner

 The Polyzoa dredged at Marsouin on the north coast of Gasp<j, were kindlj 
 determined by Dr. J. W. Dawson, Principal of McQill College. The following 
 is his communication in full. 
 
 The Polyzoa in Mr. Bell's Collections are numerous and fine, but much time 
 and care would bo required for their accurate determination. The appearances 
 presented in various stages of growth and preservation, are so perplexing, and 
 the characters given for the species of authors, of so little value, that little 
 can be done with a collection of dead cells, except to indicate the described 
 species with which they seem to be identical. The following species were all 
 attached to dead shells and stones, from a depth of about thirty fathoms.

 Hippothoa cxpunsa. New species. Description. Cells oval, depro«a('d, and 
 
 oxpnnflf'd at the sides, not contracted at the 
 base, branching dichotomously. When mag- 
 nilied liio siirfaco presents indistinct lians- 
 vcrse wrinkles and delicate longitudinal 
 lines. Aperture, small, round, with p slight 
 sinus. Texture hyaline, but less delicate 
 than //. diiHirirata. 
 
 All the three species above mentioned are 
 found associated on small pebbles and sheila. 
 Lepraliapertusa, Thompson. — Very abundant. 
 
 " Peachii, Johnston. — Very abundant also. 
 
 " trispiiiostt, Johnston. — Abundant. 
 
 " hyalimi'i *, Johnston,— Rare. 
 
 " punctata^ llasaal. — Rare. 
 
 " puncturata, Busk. — A little group of three colls on a shell of 
 
 Maclra oralis have the precise characters of 
 this species, obtained by Busk from the En- 
 glish Crag. It appears still to live, though 
 as a rare species, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 
 
 " Belli. New species. Description. In large patches. Young 
 
 cells granular, semi-hyaline, confluent; mouth 
 immersed, sinuated, with a vibraculum or 
 avicularium inside the middle of the lower 
 lip ; ovi-celio rounded, granulous like the 
 cells. Old cells white, opaque, flat above, 
 and separated by a deep sinuous furrow. 
 Cells having a strong tendency to form rows 
 radii' ting from the centre of the patch. I 
 can find no described species possessing 
 the above characters. It is allied to L. con- 
 cinna, Busk, but differs in essential points from 
 his description and figure. 
 
 " plana. New species. Description. Cells flat, confluent, shallow ; 
 I walls deeply and irregularly furrowed; mouth 
 
 rounded above, straight below, often with a 
 narrow sinus in the middle. Young cells 
 hyaline ; old cells, opaque and deeply fur- 
 rowed in a stellate manner. Forms very thin 
 and flat expanding crusts. L. adpressa, 
 Busk, from Chiloe, resembles it more nearly 
 than any other species known to me.
