Excerpt from Bulletin of the Natural History Society of New Brunswick: On the Relics of the Stone Age in New Brunswick Straits and thence up to Caraquette and in the Bay Chaleur, the animal life is decidedly of a more southern type. Shells are found in these waters which do not thrive elsewhere north of Cape Cod, except at one or two isolated and very sheltered localities. A very conspicuous and familiar example of this is afforded by the oyster. It is abundant on the N orth Shore and formerly occurred at several points on the New England coast. It is now, however, altogether extinct north of Massa chusetts Bay, with this single exception. The persistence of this assemblage of southern forms amid the cold northern waters, shut off as it is from the similar fauna far to the south, is readily explained by the physical conditions of the region mentioned above. But how it came to be there, or the conditions which determined its connection with and severance from the fauna now south of Cape God, have not been satisfactorily explained. We have then, literally, upon our northern shore a southern fauna, and upon our southern shore a northern fauna. The following list is believed to include all works and papers of importance published up to the present time which relate to the marine molluscan fauna of New Brunswick. Papers which contain one or a few isolated references are omitted, but in the list of our mollusca which follows they are specially referred to when necessary. The following may be considered, then, to be comprehensive Bibliography of New Brunswick Malacology in so far as the latter relates to distribution.
