BULLETIN OE THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 
work and object of the proposed University Extension Course, 
and in accordance with the resolutions of the Society, the 
council assisted the committee in charge of the course, in 
forwarding the movement. A number of these lectures have 
been delivered in the rooms of the society. 
Geological Committee. Some additions to our museum 
during the past year to which this committee might refer are 
of interest as helping to complete the series of fossils of the 
St. John group. One of these the well known Dictyonema 
jlalelliforme, an animal of wide distribution in the Cambrian 
seas, and of value in fixing a definite age for the rocks in which 
it is contained. This was discovered last spring at Navy Island 
by one of our members, Mr. G. Stead. With the discoveries 
of fossils previously made in different parts of the St. John 
group, that group has now become the most complete standard 
of comparison for the several successive faunas (assemblages 
of animals) of the Cambrian age in eastern North America. 
Botanical Committee. This committee report that many 
new plants, some twenty in number, have been found in New 
Brunswick since they made their last report. The committee 
will endeavour to prepare a list of them for publication in the 
Bulletin. 
Library. Beside a number of presentations to the library 
the usual exchanges for the Society’s Bulletin, and reports 
from other societies have been received. 
Museum. Numerous and valuable additions to the muse- 
um have been made during the year. The work of classifying 
and mounting the botanical collections has been continued 
by the custodian. 
The council wish to express their thanks to those gentle- 
men who have delivered lectures or addresses before the society, 
to the donors and benefactors, and also to the daily press for 
the inserting of preliminary notices of meetings. 
Respectfully submitted, 
J. Roy Campbell, 
Secretary to Council.
