WHEN examining the great exposure of trap and associated Upper Silurian rocks at Cape Bon Ami, New Brunswick, I unexpectedly found fossils in the trap. I was at the time collecting agates and amygdals of calcite. One amygdal attracted my attention as singularly regular in shape. On detaching it from the rock and examining it with the magnifying glass, I found it to be a coral, Favosites gothlandica. The fossil is nearly circular. Its greatest diameter is 17/10 in., its smallest diameter 15/10 in., its greatest thickness is 1/2 in. Notwithstanding the rubbing by exposure oa the shore, many of the ceils are quite distinct: the side attached to the trap is without cells. I found a second specimen of a similar coral in another part of the trap-rock. Of this the length is 1 in., the width 8/10. The exposed part is a section having the structure perfect; it is slightly weathered. The fossil is indissolubly united with the trap, its sharp septa penetrating it: the trap of the specimen is very compact.
