EIGHTH MEETING. 13 



sign of pain if I could help it. I felt the knife touch and press into 

 the flesh, but strange to say not the slightest pain. I looked at my 

 hand, saw it red, and till the end of the operation saw everything, the 

 incisions, the scissors clipping the tendons ; I also distinctly felt the 

 resistance, but no pain even when the stitches wei'e put in. The last 

 stitch on the back of the hand having been put in, Prof. Seymour let 

 go my arm, which he had held all tliis time, and my hand was turned 

 over. It was then decided to put one more stitch in the palm, and 

 that one I felt in all its intensity. WJiile Prof. Seymour laid his 

 hand on my arm I felt not the slightest pain, but as soon as he took 

 his hand off the next stitch gave me acute ])ain. 



NINTH MEETING. 



Ninth Meeting, 12th January, 1889, the President in the 

 chair. 



Exchanges since last meeting, 108. 



Mr. A. F. Chamberlain, B.A., read a " First Contribution to 

 the Bibliography of the Archaeology of Canada and New- 

 foundland." 



In general archfeology the name of Sir Daniel Wilson stands fore- 

 most, and the number of papers written by him at various times is 

 very large. For our own Province of Canada, the most exhaustive 

 work on the subject is the report of Mr. David Boyle, the curator of 

 the museum of the Canadian Institute for the year 1887. Other 

 writers upon the ai'chseology of Ontario are Prof. H. Croft, Rev. 

 C. Dade, Paul Kane, R. W. McLacblan, E. Van Cortlandt, T. C. 

 Wall bridge, and Sir Daniel Wilson. The papers of these writers 

 describe local archfeology and are to be found in the Canadian 

 Journal and the Proceedings of the Canadian Institute. To various 

 reports of the Smitlisonian Institution, Messrs. E. W. G-uest and 

 others have contributed papers relating to the archaeology of Ontario.
