 to four lectures on Archaeology by : — 



Prof. Carroll, of Columbia University. 



'Prof. Kelsey, of the University of Michigan. 



Prof. Myers, of Harvard, and 



Prof. Myres, of Liverpool, England. 



Thirty new members have joined the Association during the year 

 making our active membership 156. 



Our Museum has been kept open and an increasing interest in oui 

 rich collection of fossils manifested. Through the indefatigable energy 

 of our veteran curator. Col. C. C. Grant, many valuable specimens of 

 fossil remains, — many of them new to science, — have been added to our 

 collection. 



No less than 200 specimens collected in this neighbourhood Iiave 

 been sent during the past year to the British Museum, and the museums 

 at Dublin, Ottawa, and Albany, and also to Washington, embracing 

 Graptolites, Bryozoons, Lamellibranchs, Corals and Sponges, etc. The 

 Palasozoic Sea seems to have been most liberal in its deposits as regards 

 the Niagara fossils, especially of the Graptolite variety, which have been 

 found in great abundance in this vicinity. 



We are hoping, in the near future, to have more space to group and 

 exhibit our rich palîcontological collection according to families.
