ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GEOLOCICAL SECTION 
OF THE HAMILTON SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATION. 
Read at the Annual Meeting May 7th, 1903. 
To the President, Officers and Members of the Hamilton Scien-

The Section has much pleasure in submitting their annual 
report for the term ending May, 1903.

of Tetiary origin. The ravine at Grimsby has always supplied 
a large number of interesting Crinoids among the varieties. 
Stephanocrinus and Pentocumitus have been found in excellent 
preservation. A very rare specimen of Lingula was also ob- 
tained this year from the Clinton beds at Hamilton, only three 
specimens of it being previously known to Col. C. C. Grant. 
_ An effort was made to locate the terminus of the Guelph Dolo- 
mites, which thin out toward the southeast several miles from 
the brow of the escarpment, but owing to the difficulty of ob- 
taining a proper vantage point, because of the superincumbent 
strata of earth, nothing definite was accomplished. 
Col. Grant said that he had been often asked, Flow far does
