THE HAMILTON ASSOCIATION 1 23 



REPORT OF THE BIOLOGICAL SECTION. 



Read at the Annual Meeting, May 7th, 1896. 



The Biological Section have held regular monthly meetings 

 during the past winter at which we had a fair attendance and pleasant 

 intercourse on subjects of interest to the section. 



Our chairman has undertaken the listing of all wild plants found 

 in this district. Of this we shall hear more later. 



At one of our meetings Mr. Alexander read a paper on the 

 subject, " Why should we study Biology." 



Although this was the only original paper read during the season, 

 our meetings have been full of interest and instruction. 



The opening up of the T. H. and B. Railway will make localities 

 formerly distant easier of approach for botanical research. 



We start the summer with good intentions to make large addit- 

 ions to the Herbarium and to the other branches of the Museum. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



J. M. Dickson, H. S. Moore, 



Chairman. Secretary.
