The members of the biological section have made many and valuable 
additions to the herbarium of Canadian wild flowers, all found within our 
twelve-mile limit, the additions being thirty-seven species, representing in 

all sixteen genera. 
The collection of Jamaica ferns donated by Mr. Adam Brown has 
also been carefully mounted. These represent one hundred and two 
species of twenty-two genera. 
The valuable collection of Arizona and Mexican ferns devised to the 
association by the late Prof. Wright holds a place also in the herbarium. 
The geological section has been peculiarly active. Hamilton is 
credited now with three new genera and seven new species of fossil 
sponges. The graptolites, which are especially numerous in this locality, 
have attracted notice everywhere. 
Mr. A. E. Walker’s forty years’ collection of fossils now occupies a 
place in our museum. One specimen, especially noteworthy, obtained 
from the Utica shale, has a circular mass of spicules on its surface, bear- 
ing a close resemblance to those found in the Niagara chert beds at 
Hamilton. It is undoubtedly a connecting link between the glass-rope 
sponges and allied forms of to-day and their predecessors of the far-off 
ages. 
The association is doing good work. and its operations are evidently 
appreciated by the public. 
The Transactions are eagerly sought for, and form à valuable record 
of what is being done yearly by the various branches and subdivisions of 
the association.

En qualité de délégué de la Société de Numismatique et Archéologie 
de Montréal, j'ai l'honneur de présenter un rapport sur ce qui s’est passé 
chez elle pendant l’année qui vient de s'écouler. 
Poursuivant le but de son organisation, la Société s'est occupée, dans 
ses réunions, de rechercher tout ce qui pouvait se rapporter soit à la 
numismatique soit à l'archéologie particulières au Canada, à la province 
de Québec, et surtout à la ville de Montréal, 
Elle a, grâce à des dons assez nombreux, pu ajouter à sa collection, 
déjà considérable, plusieurs pièces de monnaie, des médailles de date
