two occasions, and left the camp before a third visit was paid 
as was intended. He expects to secure a few specimens from 
the locality yet next summer, having noticed a considerable 
amount of material there which seemed highly fossiliferous 
while a large portion of it seems to be above the reach of the 
lake waves even in the roughest stormy weather. 
Only a few visits were paid to the Waterlime beds above 
the Albion Mills, and nothing new was obtained ; but in the 
glacial clay resting on the Barton Niagaras, among some 
fragments of chert, were a few sections of sponges including 
a well defined transverse section of Astylospongia. You may 
remember the chairman, Mr. A. EK. Walker, found at or 
near the base of this Avze Clay a well marked tail shield of 
Asaphus Platycephalus. 1 noticed a statement in a Toronto 
daily paper lately, that Dr. G. Dawson, Director of the 
Dominion Geological Survey, has just discovered quite a num- 
ber of microscopical objects in this deposit. It may be neces- 
sary to mention the circumstance. Many members of the 
Association I am told, who do not belong to this section, are 
desirous of acquiring objects for their microscopical investiga- 
tions. Since the Cornulites figured in last year’s proceedings 
was shown a better specimen was obtained from the glacial 
chert. In forwarding it to the old country I suggested for it 
the name Zheca Niagarensts, if it proved to be a new species 
as was supposed.
