"become members of the Geological Section of the Hamilton 

 Association. We must impress on them that while success 

 or failure in collecting local organic remains greatly depends 

 on accidental circumstances, it is absolutely necessary to 

 know the places where Fosils are found, and also the Fossilif- 

 erous beds in the different quarries. This would save much 

 <lisappointment. Some of the layers seldom or never present 

 organic remains, and time is lost in a fruitless search. The 

 w-riter would be pleased to have an opportunity of pointing out 

 likely localities to any one wishing for information regarding 

 the Geologv of the District, and has put aside a few character- 

 istic fossils for an enquirer's acceptance.
