THE HAMILTON ASSOCIATION. 149 
REPORT OF CURATOR. 
Since the last annual meeting of the Association there have 
been a few additions to the Museum, which has been kept open 
every Saturday afternoon, as heretofore, and many of the cases 
rearranged. Large meetings of the various sections, which 
now number five, have been held in the room, thereby causing 
constant shifting of the glass cases, greatly to their disadvant- 
age and injury. All are at present in tolerable order, and the 
Curator hopes they will not be so often shifted as they have 
been lately. The donations to the Museum have been few, but 
many of them are of great interest. 
The chalk fossil, from England, are all in one case. 
A fine tomahawk of one of the Indian Chiefs who fought 
at the Stony Creek battle, donated by Mrs. Pearson, who ob- 
tained it from the chief's grandson. 
A very large petrified shark’s tooth. 
Two sets of tin candle moulds used by the early settlers in 
Canada. 
An old flint lock pistol. 
Specimen of a porcupine fish. 
Various photos of curious promissary notes in circulation 
among the Morman stores in 1774. 
Specimen of native copper from the north shore of Lake 
Huron. 
Curious specimen of wood dove tailing, made of two differ- 
ent kinds of wood. 
A fine piece of wood sawing by a machine saw.
