REPORl OF THE GEOLOGICAL SECTION. 



Mr. President and Mend^ers : 



I regret that the chairman of our section for the past year is not with us to night, 

 I refer to the Rev. Chas. Andra=!, who, you will remember, was with us a year ago at our 

 last annual meeting, but has now gone to reside in the North West. We expected with 

 his assistance to have presented a full and comprehensive report of the proceedings of 

 our Society for the past seas )u. We have had no more active member in our section 

 than he since its organization. All his spare moments were devoted to making a col- 

 lection of the minerals and fossils of this region, most of which were exhibited to the 

 class from time to time, adding very much to the interest as well as profit, and giving 

 us some idea of what might be obtained at our own dooi-s. He made a very large pri- 

 vate collection during the time he was with us. Together we visited most of the out- 

 lying towns in search of specimens for our cabinets, and have travelled on foot many a 

 mile in these holiday outings. 



Among other places we have visited St. Mary?, Dorchester, Kilworth, Byron, Kom- 

 oka, Kettle Point (Lake Huron), Ilderton, Thedford, Beachville and Woodstock. 



Occasionally we had some of our fellow workers to bear us company and assist in our 

 undertakings and researches. 



I can only mention a few of my observation:^ along the geological line. The work 

 undertaken by this section has been greater and more successful than in any previous year, 

 not only as regards the material that has been collected, but also in thf^ interest the mem- 

 bers have shown by regular attendance at our weekly meetings, and taking an active part 

 in the discussions tha', have arisen from the objects laid before them. 



We have also been favored with several interesting lectures and papers on various 

 geological subjects as follows : 



By the Rev. Prof. Andras : 



I. — Earthquakes. 



II.— Talk on British Coal Fields. 



III. — Sketches of his North West Travels. 

 By Prof. J. H. Andras : 



I. — Papers on Cephalapoda. 



II- — " " Arcidae.
