THE HAMILTON ASSOCIATION. 37 



to the Redpath Montreal Museum. In fact we are open to the 

 taunt, while the Geological section of the Hamilton Association 

 furnishes our own cases with few specimens, we are, perhaps, • too 

 liberal in recklessly distributing far and wide all that may be more 

 wisely retained as characteristic of that upper portion of the Silurian 

 age here. Unfortunately we have not sufficient room. The Hamil- 

 ton Graptolites alone would fill the largest case in the museum, and 

 if a complete set of the Niagara Sponges, sections and varieties, dis- 

 playing internal structure, etc., could be procured, they would take 

 up a far greater space than we can now afford. 



Only a few visits were paid, during the past season, to the 

 water-lime quarry (Barton-Niagara), Russeaux Creek, and nothing 

 new was found there. Appended to this Journal of Proceedings you 

 will find a catalogue of our local Niagara fossils by Dr. Spencer, F. 

 G. S., etc. Others are added, although the list is supposed to be 

 yet incomplete.
