106 JOURNAL AND PROCEEDINGS 



The Section regrets to have to place on record the withdrawal 

 of Col. C. C. Grant from its n)embership. He has been closely 

 identified wdtli the work of the Section since its formation, and has 

 contributed largely to its success He has been a most untiring 

 worker, spending all his spare time in the pursuit of this branch of 

 science and has contributed the greater number of the specimens 

 now in the Museum. He has by his generous contributions to 

 other museums in different parts of the world as a member of the 

 Section brought into prominence the Hamilton Scientific Associa- 

 tion. He has the best wishes of the Section in his retirement from 

 active co-operation in it, and the members express tlie hope that 

 they may some time in the near future again have the benefit of 

 his matured experience and counsel in the work of the Section. 



The Section had hoped that the usual number of meetings 

 would have been held during the past session, but owing to a cir- 

 cumstance which is fully explained, we held only two meetings, at 

 which papers of geological interest were read by Col. C. C. Grant. 



Following are the dates of meetings and titles of papers read : 



Nov. 24, 1905— Notes on the Past Collecting vSeason. 



Dec. 30, 1905 — Additional Notes on the Past Collecting Season. 



March 8, 1906 — The following paper v^'as handed in to the 

 Chairman : Notes Geological and Antiquarian. 



Respectfully submitted,
