I proceeded by rail road to the ferry of the Niagara river, at Black Rock. This road runs under a line of dark compact limestone quarries, which, judging from the fossils I collected in the neighbourhood, must belong to the Silurian group.* The ferry-boat, in which we had to stem the tremendous current of the river, was large enough to convey carriages: the paddles were worked by a horizontal wheel, turned by four horses, forming a horse-tread - wheel.
