the glass rope sponges, or closely allied forms of to-day, to their

Mr. Walker's modesty would not allow him to claim this dis- 

 covery, but we cheerfully proclaim him as the proper person who 

 should receive credit for it. 



The papers read at the meeting of the section have been of more 

 than ordinary interest, especially to the local geologist, some of them 

 dealing with questions of local importance, affording a stimulus to 

 the novitiate, while others dealt with questions about which there is 

 still some uncertainty because of insufficient data upon which to 

 draw, so as to come to a definite conclusion. 



The section has held seven meetings during the year, at six of 

 which papers were read. 



Following are the subjects treated in these papers, and the dates 

 on which they were read : 



May 25th, 1894. — "Geological Notes," by Col. C. C. Grant. 



Nov. 2nd, 1894. — " Opening Address " by the Chairman. 



Dec. 22nd, 1894. — "Notes on the Devonian Rocks," by Col.

All of which is respectfully submitted.
