THE HAMILTON ASSOCIATION. 139 



a work on the North American fossil star fishes, and asks the loan 

 of such specimens as we have in our collection. 



A request has also been made by one of the geological staff at 

 Ottawa (Mr. Ami) to send him the printed proceedings of the Ham- 

 ilton Association, particularly those numbers which contain papers 

 on geological subjects, because he is engaged writing a biblio- 

 graphical work on the paleontology of Canada, and wishes to include 

 the names of the authors of papers on geology and subjects treated 

 in them. 



During the year just ended there have been many specimens 

 added to the museum, particularly from the Niagara and Clinton 

 formations at Hamilton. 



A very liberal donation of miocene fossils from the museum at 

 Washington, D. C, has been added to our collections, obtained 

 through the influence of Col. C. C. Grant. 



The Chairman, Mr, A. E. Walker, has presented to the section 

 a carefully prepared profile drawing of the cutting on Hunter street, 

 extending from Park street to Queen street. It shows the various 

 strata throughout, and indicates points where animal and vegetable 

 deposits were found. 



Papers of geological interest were read at all our meetings, and 

 it is a matter of regret that more of the members do not avail them- 

 selves of the opportunity to attend these meetings and take part in 

 the proceedings. 



Following are the dates of meeting and the subjects of papers 

 read : 

 Nov. 22nd, 1895, Geological Notes on the Grimsby Ravine. Col 



C. C. Grant. 

 Jan. 24th, 1896, Geological structure, as represented by the tunnel
