Geological Section 



Since the death of the late President of the Geologi- 

 cal Section, A. T. Neill, practically it has ceased to exist. 

 It has had merely a few members at any time, and when 

 these died off or removed from the city, no fresh mem- 

 bers were forthcoming to replace them. 



The writer can see no chance, unfortunately, for 

 the present, for a revival of the section, while he feels 

 satisfied we may have still much to learn here regarding 

 the plants and fossils in our local silurian rocks. Where 

 new specimens have been discovered of late years, after 

 nearly half a century's exploration, who can imagine re- 

 search is quite exhausted. W'e must not forget that 

 many organii remains in former times were sent away 

 from this and are yet unrepresented in our collection.
