BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 
557 specimens were given away, largely material for use in 
school studies and as additions to small natural history collections. 
The Junior members outings and other excursions gave 
opportunity for some collecting. The trip to Grand Lake by 
Mr. Leavitt and myself can not be classed as part of the Society’s 
work as it was taken in vacation and at our own expense, but 
as it resulted in the Society receiving over 1,000 ethnological 
specimens, perhaps it is not out of place to mention it here. 
Exclusive of the above material, I was able to collect 554 speci- 
mens, as follows: botany, 240; zoology, 55; fossils, 218; minerals, 
41. 
Over 2,600 (printed script) labels were written, some of the 
large descriptive labels containing over 160 words. Sixteen 
Junior Members outings were held during the year. 
The number of persons who visited the museum during the 
past nine months was 1,949. 
The thanks of the museum are due to the press of the city 
for their kindly interest in keeping the public informed regarding 
the work of the museum. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Wm. McIntosh, Curator .

Remains of fishes — parts of the body and plates — were

Dr. Matthew and Mr. Bastion of the U. S. Geological Survey. 
These sandstones are the equivalent of the Albert shales of Albert 
co., where fishes have been found in numbers and in a fine state 
of preservation. 
The party of the Canadian Geological Survey under Dr. 
Ells completed the work of surveying around St. John for the 
large map which is to be made of the vicinity of that city. 
Dr. Matthew did some field work in St. John county and in
