well attended; and the character and scope of the papers and discourses 
were interesting and varied, as a glance at the bulletin of the Associa- 
tion will show. In July, the Association made an outing for a week 
to Red Bank, the site of an ‘extensive village during the Stone Age, 
and succeeded in collecting a large variety of stone implements, and 
many interesting facts connected with prehistoric man in this region. 
Further exploration will be conducted in the same locality. 
MUSEUM, HERBARIUM, ETC. 
Constant additions are being made to the museum, representative 
of the natural history of the province, an encouraging feature being the 
general interest taken in the Association by the people at large, as 
shown by the number of donations thus received. These donations 
are various, but all valuable, comprising birds, mammals, fishes, insects, 
plants, fossils, and prehistoric relics. Systematic study of the 
entomology, ichthyology, botany, etc, of Northern New Brunswick 
is carried on by members of the Association, and it is pleasing to 
mention the valuable help given by Professor Macoun in identifying 
plants, and in other helpful ways. 
The financial standing of the Association is satisfactory, and during 
the coming summer cabinets to the value of $120 will be placed in the 
museum. The need of more cabinet space is felt at present, to accom- 
modate the material finding its way into the museum. In this 
connection it must be remarked that, owing to an oversight, only one- 
half of the donations were published in the Bulletin issued this year. 
From the record of the last four years, it can be confidently 
inferred that the Association must become a permanent, and growing 
institution, the popularity of which is evidence of the want it is filling 
and the way in which it is being appreciated.
