As the study of the organic remains found by the author
and others in the Cambrian rocks around St. John is now
nearly finished, it is possible to give a list of these remains,
showing the zoological standing of the species and the various
horizons at which they have been found.
In order to make the catalogue more useful for reference,
a brief description is given of the rocks of the several levels
at which the fossils were found.
These rocks are divisable into two series, there being a
break in the succession of the beds at the top of the Basal
Series, where its upper beds have been considerably worn to
furnish material for the lowest beds of the next series, the
St. John Group.
Although we make two divisions in the lower series, we
have not ventured to call them stages, as the faunas, so far
as known, are not sufficiently distinct to make it advisable.
We therefore regard this as one stage.
Basal Skuies of rocks or Etcheminian Stage.
The section at Hanford Brook is one of the clearest
known for this series, and from the base upward is as f >llows
(all the following sections are ascending):

f> Soft purplish red slates with greenish glauconite grains,

Other f,'ood exposures of this series are found at Ratcliff'p,
Millstreani, Simonds, and at Caton's Island on the Ijong
Reach of the St. Jolin River.
St. John Group (Acadian Group, Dawson.)
This series is much more important for its faunas than
the preceding, and for this reason is divided into three stages.
