HAMILTON SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION 127 



Washington, D.C., a scientist of eminence who has made a 

 study of these early and obsctnre silurian fossil remains. The 

 result of his labors has not yet been made public. 



The Museum has been kept open on Saturday afternoons 

 during the year, and no doubt much information has been 

 carried away by every student who has studied intelectually 

 the rich collection of fossils which now fill our cases, and 

 also those that lie upon our shelves, an opportunity which 

 every earnest seeker after knowledge will fully appreciate. 



There have been three meetings held, at which papers of 

 more than ordinary geological interest were read by Col. 

 C. C. Grant. 



Following are the dates upon which the different papers 

 were read and the subjects discussed : — 



November 28th, 1906 — Notes on the Late Collecting 

 Season, by Col. C. C. Grant. 



December 28th, 1906 — Notes on the Late Collecting 

 Season, continued, by Col. C. C. Grant. 



March 22nd, 1907 — Remonstrance respectfully submitted 

 to the Council re the Preparation of a Catalogue, by Col. 

 C. C. Grant. 



When Col. C. C. Grant read his first paper of the session, 

 he produced some specimens of archsean and other rocks from 

 the glacial Erie drift at Winona, and he said then that they 

 belonged to a valuable deposit of feldspar and granite which 

 must exist somewhere north of this district. Some time 

 after a Mr. George Hawkes worth Armstrong writes that a 

 valuable deposit of feldspar had been found about 100 miles 

 north of Cobalt, from which a very hard cement can be pro- 

 duced, called Krenite, much used in Russia. 



Respectfully submitted. 



A. T. NEILL, 



Chairman.
