During last year, the members devoted most of their time in 

 connection with the work of the section in rearranging the fossils 

 in the cases, and adding, where required, the missing species or 

 families to complete, as far as possible, the fauna, as known in the 

 different rock systems represented in our collection. Also the 

 classifying, labelling and arranging of the large number of fossils 

 added during the year from different sources, and particularly from 

 Col. C. C. Grant, who visited the Island of Anticosti during the 

 summer and there obtained a great number of specimens for our 

 collection from the Hudson River, Anticosti group, and Post 

 Pliocene formations. The Post Pliocene formation was not known 

 to exist on the island until discovered by Col. Grant, who 

 collected several varieties of the Mya, The section secured 

 donations from the following: Mr. Drake, on behalf of the estate 

 of the late Mr. W. Murray ; C. N. Bell, F; R. G. S., Winnipeg ; and 

 from the late Rev. Dr. Kemp (see appended list.)
