THE HAMILTON ASSOCIATION. WS; 
was possible to obtain would be represented in the new woik under 
preparation, entitled “The Graptolite of North America.” ‘These 
our Chairman supplied. Fossil specimens have been sent to 
Britain, different parts of the United States, and to Ottawa, King- 
ston and Montreal. The Section has also had fitted up a set of 
drawers in which to stowe the duplicated specimens. 
The papers read at the meeting of the Section have been very 
interesting. Some of them are devoted to the tracing of palaeozoic 
shells up through the successive formation to their present living 
representatives ; some recording and describing important discover- 
ies in the chain of palaeozoic life. Some deal with the question what 
was once considered problematical whether the Liceophycus was» 
animal or vegetable, but by the aid of some very excellent fossil 
specimens and convincing arguments of our Chairman, this question 
has been settled to be the latter. The thanks of the Section is due 
to the Chairman, who has contributed all the papers read before the 
Section, and to his untiring exertion in the collection of fossils, 
thereby adding a large number to the collection now in the museum 
of the Hamilton Association. 
The Section has held seven meetings, at five of which papers 
were read. Following are the subjects treated in these papers, and 
the dates on which they were read :
