On motion of Mr. Williams seconded by Mr. Macdougall, 

 Messrs. J. H. Pearce, W. E. Middleton, W. Brodie, W. H. 

 Merritt, A. Harvey, J. B. Williams, A. Macdougall and Prof. 

 R. Ramsay Wright were appointed a committee to see the 

 Government in regard to the Algonquin National Park for 

 the preservation of wild animals and natural forests, 



Mr. L. J. Clark was elected a member. 



Mr. Arthur Harvey read a paper on " Outlines of the 

 Geology of the North-west ot Lake Superior with special 

 reference to the Silver District of Thunder Bay." 



Mr. A. F. Chamberlain, B.A., read "A Second Contribution 

 to the Bibliography of the Archaeology of Canada." 



The second " contribution " consists of about one hundred titles of 

 papers, articles, and passages in works of various travellers and 

 scientists referring to the archaeology of the Dominion of Canada 

 and ^Newfoundland, the first contribution containing about seventy 

 such items. To the citations of titles are added brief notes of the 

 contents and importance of the articles, etc. In the list of names 

 figure very prominently Sir Daniel Wilson and Sir J. William 

 Dawson ; of the latter some eight and of the former some twenty 

 articles are chronicled, besides their works " Fossil Men " and " Pre- 

 histoi-ic Man," respectively. 



The works of travellers afford many passages relating to ai'ch- 

 seology, etc., and when all have been examined the Bibliography will 

 be approaching completeness. For the Eskimo we have the works 

 of Ross, Parry, Richardson, Franklin, Hall, Schwatka, and many 

 more, besides the recent investigators, Kumlein, Rink, Rae, Turner, 

 Boas, etc. In Labrador we have the works of the Moravian mission- 

 ai'ies, and Kohlmeister, Cartwright, Chappell, Dobbs, etc., besides 

 the more recent explorers, Hind, Packard, Gordon and others. In 

 Nova Scotia the labours of Rev. Geo. Patterson, whose collection of 

 specimens is now in the museum of Dalhousie College, are especially

 Dawson are seen in the museum of McGill College. For Ontario,
