THE HAMILTON ASSOCIATION 99 
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GEOLOGICAL SECTION. 
for the Year Knding May 11, 1905. 
The Section, in submitting this, the annual report, wishes to 
place on reeord that although composed of few members the 
usual interest has been maintained throughout the term just 
ended, and that the work of collecting fossils has been diligently 
and successfully carried on. Many specimens new to science 
have been placed in our Museum and many have been sent away 
to different Museums of the world, to wit, the British Museum, 
the Washington Museum, the Dublin Museum, the Albany Mu- 
seum, the Ottawa Museum. Other specimens have been sent to 
such eminent men as Prof. Rupert Jones, of England, Prof. Clark, 
of the State of New York, Prof. Gurley, of Washington, and also 
to others interested in Paleontology. Some of these specimens 
have been sent away for identification. The Graptoltes found 
here represent a great many varieties not yet figured, so far as 
known by the members of the Section. Some new forms of 
Stromatopora have been found, also some Fossil Sponges, show- 
ing that the rocks south of us and the shingle on cur beach contain 
many new varieties heretofore unknown, only waiting for the 
diligent student to bring them to light. The result of these dis- 
coveries have been made known to eminent Paleontologists. 
Col. Grant received a communication from Prof. Lapworth, of 
Birmingham, one of the leading authorities on the Hydrozoa, ex- 
pressing a desire to obtain some specimens from the neighborhood 
of Hamilton, and Prof. Clark has signified his intention to come 
over and bring with him the President of the American Geologi- 
eal Society, and Prof. Parks, of the Toronto University has ex- 
pressed his intention of visiting Hamilton this summer. These 
gentlemen are coming to examine the rich paleontological field 
which has yielded so many rare specimens, some of which are to
