REPORT OF THE MINER ALOGICAL AND 

 GEOLOGICAL SECTION. 



The Director of the Mineralogical and Geological Section would 

 respectfully report that owing to the unusual absence from the city 

 of the members most active in the Section, the meetings have not 

 been as numerous or as large as in former years but there has 

 been no lack of interest. The meetings jointly with the Academy 

 have been generally regarded as interesting and successful. Con- 

 siderable additions have been made to the collection. Many of 

 the specimens were procured by purchase with the funds of the Sec- 

 tion.

 year : —
