REPORT or CURATOR FOR 1885-86. 



In the additions made to the Institute during my term of office, 

 specimens illustrative of aboriginal and pioneer life occuijy the first 

 place. 



In April, 1885, with the consent of the Council, I prepared a 

 circular, of which about one thousand copies were addressed to repre- 

 sentative men of all classes throughout the Province, asking for infor- 

 mation relative to localities connected with preliistoric and early historic 

 events, and requesting persons in possession of relics to forward them 

 to the Institute for the purpose of enabling us to form an archieologi- 

 cal exhibit worthy of the Province of Oiitario. 



In reply to that circular a lai-ge quantity of exceedingly valuable 

 information has been collected relating to ancient village sites, battle 

 grounds, portages, etc., and to persons in whose hands there ai-e 'private 

 collections of more or less value.
