Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Canadian Stromatoporoids
In Canada, as elsewhere, only the more obvious characters of the Stromatoporoidea were examined by the first students of this di?icult group of fossils, and it is probable that some of the earlier species proposed will have to be abandoned, as inadequately defined.
Of late years, however, these organisms have been studied much more systematically, especially by Professor H. Alleyne Nicholson, of the University'of Aberdeen, and the minute structure of the different species has been elucidated and their probable affinities ascertained by means of thin microscopic sections.
