the past ten years. These have all now been well nigh studied and 

 determined. The bulk of the fossil collection, consisting of crinoids 

 and cystideans, on which Mr. Stewart had spent a great deal of time, 

 were purchased by Mr. J. H. R. Molson for the Peter Redpath Museum 

 of McGill College, Montreal, and is now on exhibition in the cases of 

 that institution. 



A small collection was sent to Prof. F. A. Bather and Dr. Henry 

 Woodward, of the British Museum, who expressed themselves as highly 

 delighted with the specimens sent. 



Dr. Ami is preparing a list of the species of fossils in the Stewart 

 collection. Besides those from Ottawa and its environs there are not 

 a few from Belleville, Hastings, Madoc, Havelock, and from other 

 localities in central Ontario. 





The discovery of a gouge by Mr. J. Ballantyne or stone implement 

 belonging to the aborigines of this portion of Canada in Mr. Graham's 

 brickyard at Archville (Ottawa East), led to an interesting examination 

 of the circumstances attending the finding of it. Amongst the fossil 

 remains collected in the beds of clay and sand, were the following : 



i. Leda (Portlandia) arctica, Gray, abundant. 



2. Macoma fragilis, Fabricius. 



3. " calcarea ? Chemnitz. 



4. Natica afifinis, Gmelin. 



5. Cylichna alba, (Brown.) 



6. Balanus crenatus, Bruguiere.
