HULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 
Arch.eology. 
Mr. S. W. Kain has been doing some very valuable archieological' 
work in the vicinity of Grand and Maquapit Lakes during the past 
summer. 
This region owing, no doubt, to the abundance of fish and game, 
was a favorite camping ground of the Indians, and, in exploring these 
ancient camp sites, Mr. Kain discovered a large number of stone imple- 
ments, consisting of arrow-heads, stone-axes, hammer-stones, celts, and 
many fragments of aboriginal pottery. A number of these fragments 
show ornamentation distinct from any hitherto observed in New Bruns- 
wick specimens of the Indian potters’ art. All the articles collected 
were presented to the Society. 
AVhile at Grand Lake Mr. Kain purchased for the Society a large 
number of relics of the New Brunswick stone age from local collectors. 
Geology. 
Dr. Matthew has been doing some geological work in Cape Breton 
and New Brunswick during the past summer. Among interesting 
additions to our knowledge of Cambrian geology from the former 
region, is the discovery of two new faunas in the Cambrian — one in 
the flags corresponding to those in St. John, this is the Upper Para- 
doxides fauna. The other is the Tremadoc fauna of Wales, whose 
place at St. John would be in the channel of the river at the Straight 
Shore, therefore inaccessible here. 
Dr. Bailey has done a summer work for the Geological surveys of 
Canada in Central and Eastern New Brunswick ; in the former district 
he has found extensive areas of Upper Silurian slates, and in the latter 
has been investigating the probable occurrences of coal and oil. 
Mr. Kain’s discovery of submerged fire-places of the stone age 
seen in Maquapit I.iake are referred to in the report of the Geological 
Committee. 
Warping of the Earth’s Crust near St. John in Recent Times, 
By the term “ recent times,” in the above title, is -intended times 
geologically recent. 
Assuming that Post-Pleiocene time closed with the emergence of the- 
Leda clay and the formation of the Saxicava, or Macoma sands, the
