Abstract
THE organic nature of Eozoön Canadense may, I trust, be regarded as established conclusively by the evidence which has been adduced by Dr. Carpenter, Dr. Hunt, and myself, and I think I am safe in saying that it is accepted by all or nearly all those best qualified to judge. Since, however, the doubts expressed by your correspondent, Mr. Reade, may be shared by many who have not had full opportunity to satisfy themselves on the subject, I think it may be useful once more to direct attention to the facts serving to answer the objections which he has stated, and which, on more full consideration of the questions involved, I trust he may abandon.
