PROCEEDINGS FOR 1899 XCVlI 



Invertebrate Zoology. 



In this section excellent work has been done. The entomolo- 

 gical cabinet shows over fifteen hundred specimens, and many molluscs 

 and marine articulates have' been collected, but owing to lack of room 

 no systematic arrangement of the latter material has yet been made. 



Archœology. 



In this department are to be found about twenty-five pre-historic 

 implements and a number of interesting relics of early French occu- 

 pation.
