The adult male of Utaperla gaspesiana, a new species of stonefly from the Gaspé Peninsula (Quebec), is described and illustrated. This is the first record of a member of the Paraperlinae (Chloroperlidae) from Eastern Canada. The relations of this new species with the other two known species of the genus, the western nearctic U. sopladora and the eastern palaearctic U. orientalis are briefly discussed.

Acidolites Lang, Smith and Thomas occurs in upper Middle and Upper Ordovician, Lower and lower Middle Silurian rocks of Ontario and Quebec. On Anticosti Island, Quebec, the genus is represented by A. tenuis (Billings) in the Upper Ordovician (Gamachian) Ellis Bay Formation; the new species A. arctatus, A. compactus and A. helianthus in the Ordovician–Silurian boundary beds at the top of the Ellis Bay Formation; the new species A. arctatus, A. compactus and A. lindströmi in the lower Llandoverian Becscie Formation; A. arctatus in the mid-Llandoverian Gun River Formation; and an unnamed species in the upper Llandoverian Jupiter Formation. The lower Llandoverian Clemville Formation of the Gaspé Peninsula, Quebec, contains Protaraea clemvillensis Parks, now considered to be Acidolites. The upper Middle to lower Upper Ordovician Cobourg Formation near Ottawa, Ontario, contains A. cf. arctatus, formerly included in Protaraea vetusta (Hall). The lower Wenlockian Amabel Formation in southern Ontario contains a species of Acidolites as yet unnamed.

Chitinozoan and acritarch assemblages from Caradocian and Ashgillian strata forming part of the White Head Formation of the Percé region, Gaspé Peninsula, Québec, contain species known from the central United States, eastern Canada, and northwestern Europe. One new species, Orthosphaeridium gaspesianum, is described.

From a study of living materials and specimens in several regional herbaria, a list has been drawn up of all the common and several of the rarer tube-dwelling diatoms of eastern Canada. Descriptions, illustrations of living material and acid-cleaned valves, and a key to the species are provided. Most specimens were from the Atlantic Provinces and the St. Lawrence estuary, but a few were from the Northwest Territories. By far the most common species is Berkeleya rutilans. Other species occurring commonly in the Quoddy Region of the Bay of Fundy, and sporadically in space and time elsewhere, arc Navicula delognei (two forms), Nav. pseudocomoides, Nav. smithii, Haslea crucigera, and a new species, Nav.rusticensis. Navicula ramosissima and Nav. mollis in eastern Canada are usually found as scattered cohabitants in tubes of other species. Nitzschia tubicola and Nz. fontifuga also occur sporadically as cohabitants.

Two of the three species recorded in this paper (Ceratonereis scotiae sp. n. and Nereis diversicolor O. F. Müller) were collected some years ago, but hitherto their occurrence has not been noted. The third (Tharyx marioni (Saint-Joseph)) was collected recently for the first time in Canadian waters.

The higher taxonomic affinities of fin spines from the Lower Devonian (Emsian) Atholville beds, Campbellton Formation, near Campbellton, New Brunswick, Canada, originally identified as Ctenacanthus latispinosus, have been uncertain since they were first described by Whiteaves in the late 19th century. Woodward subsequently referred the species to Climatius, because the isolated Canadian fin spines were similar to those preserved in articulated specimens of Climatius reticulatus from the Lower Old Red Sandstone (Lochkovian) of Scotland. Spines of the same form as the Atholville beds specimens are also found in Emsian mudstones on the Gaspé Peninsula, Québec. One of the fin spine forms appears identical to the pectoral fin spines on an articulated specimen from the Campbellton Formation that has been assigned to the stem chondrichthyan Doliodus problematicus, a taxon erected for isolated diplodont teeth. By comparison with median and paired fin spine morphology on the climatiiform Climatius reticulatus from the Scottish Lower Old Red Sandstone and the spines preserved on the articulated Doliodus, isolated fin spines from Campbellton and several localities on the Gaspé Peninsula are now identified as belonging to Doliodus latispinosus comb. nov. The variety of spine morphotypes recognized—pectoral, prepelvic, prepectoral, and median—support a phylogenetic position within the “acanthodians” rather than “conventionally defined chondrichthyans”.

AbstractDioryctria resinosella, a species feeding on red pine cones or shoots, is described as new and recorded from Maine, southern Ontario, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The new species is distinguished from D. zimmermani (Grote) and D. banksiella Mutuura & Munroe by the differences in wing markings, genitalia characters, and ecological aspects.

A study was made of organisms concerned with the red discoloration of salted hides, also termed "red heat", which defect may occasion loss in the leather industry through spotting and weakening of the fibre. Red halophilic sarcinae were isolated from Argentine hide. From Canadian hides showing red discoloration, two species of pleomorphic rods were isolated as active agents. One of these, occurring on salted cowhides, was found to be similar to Serratia salinaria (Harrison and Kennedy) Bergey et al., a source of reddening of cured codfish in eastern Canada. The other organism causing discoloration, isolated from buffalo hide, was regarded as a new species and designated Serratia cutirubra n.sp. Both of these halophilic organisms, owing to their proteolytic action, are considered capable of greater damage to hides than the red sarcinal types which are non-liquefying, and which may also be present on Canadian hides. Non-chromogenic halophilic bacteria were also isolated from discolored hides. These develop at a lower salt concentration range than the red organisms and are probably less active in causing injury to fibre in well salted hides.
