The papers that form this Bulletin describe differ­ ent groups of fossils that are important to correlation in the sedimentary basins of northern and western Canada, and consequently of relevance to petroleum explora­ tion which is so dependent on accurate stratigraphic interpretation.

THE EARLY CANADIAN (TREMADOCIAN) TRILOBITES CLELANDIA AND JUJUY ASPIS FROM THE SOUTHERN ROCKY MOUNTAINS OF CANADA by B. S. Norford Abstract Five species are described from the lower part of the Survey Peak Formation of southwest Alberta and adjacent British Columbia. Clelandia texana Winston and Nicholls, C. albertensis new species, and Jujuyaspis borealis Kobayashi are from the Symphysurina-Euloma Zone (Zone A); Clelandia utahensis Ross and the new species C. wilsoni are from the Bellefontia-Xenostegium Zone (Zone B). These two zones are the basal zones of the Canadian in western North America. They are of Tremadocian age, and are either Lower Ordovician or Upper Cam­ brian, depending upon whether the Tremadoc Series is included in the Ordovician or in the Cambrian.The bases of these zones are defined by the first appearances of Symphysurina and Bellefontia. Clelandia and Jujuyaspis seem to be restricted to rocks of Tremadocian age. The type species of Clelandia is redescribed.
