III.—Review of the Evidence for the Animal Nature of Eozoön Canadense

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Bearing in mind the statements made in the previous note, respecting the stratigraphical relations of the Grenville Series, and referring to the excellent account by my friend Dr. Bonney of his observations at Côte St. Pierre, and to some difficulties stated by him which merit attention, we may sum up the evidence so far, under the following statements:—

page 506 note 1 It is a curious coincidence that Dr. Johnston-Lavis has described in the July Number of this Journal, the aqueous deposition at ordinary temperature of crystals of pyroxene and hornblende, in cavities and crevices of bones included in an ash-bed of recent date, and in presence of calcite, apatite, and fluoride of calcium, as in the Grenville Series. This is a modern instance analogous to that suggested above.
