During the summer an excursion was made to Little Falls, near 

 Dm-liam, and some very tine specimens of ichtliyolites were ob- 

 tained. 



The September meeting of ^e Association was devoted to the 

 memory of Miss Emily J. Leonard, who died in July. A memorial 

 address was delivered by Dr. Chas. H. S. Davis, and papers on the 

 lite and character of Miss Leonard were read by Eev. J. T. Pettee, 

 Mrs. J. T. Pettee, Mrs. H. H. Keulrick, and Mr. J. H. Mabbett, 

 and remarks were made by Rev. J. H. Chapin. 



The Association may well feel satisfied with its work during the 

 past year, and it has established the fact that it is an educational 

 force in the community, and represents, to a large extent, the 

 intellectual life of this city. But there is yet need of developmg 

 a more thorough and practical interest in the work of the Associa- 

 tion among the citizens. 



It is hoped that the museum of the Association will be utiHzed 

 by the pupils in om- public schools, and by others interested in 

 natui-al science.
