Bulletin of the Natural History Society 
of New Brunswick. 
Reprints From Bulletin No. Ill, 
[For several years past Bulletin III. (1884) has been out of 
print, and the Society has been unable to satisfy the applica- 
tions made for it. These applications have been mostly for 
the purpose of obtaining Mr. Matthew’s article on the Village 
of the Stone Age at Bocabec. The Council of the Society has 
therefore resolved to reproduce this article, and also a list of 
the mammals of New Brunswick by M. Chamberlain, which 
appeared in the same Bulletin. 
No further work has been done on the collections made at 
Bocabec, except on the implements of stone, bone, etc. The 
article on these, referred to by Dr. Bailey in Bulletin VI., is 
in course of preparation, and will appear in the next number 
of the Bulletin. 
In addition to these there is a collection of the bones of 
the mammals used for food by the Stone Age people of Boca- 
bec, which have not yet been studied, as well as a few objects 
of other kinds. 
In the years that have elapsed since the exploration was 
made at Bocabec, death has been busy among us, and, among 
others, has shorn from our membership one who has been an 
active promoter of the Society^ work since its organization, 
Dr. George A. Hamilton (at that time a leading physician in 
St, John) and who, with his family, was one of the camping 
party at Bocabec.* 
The article on Bocabec appears here without alteration or 
addition, except some slight changes and corrections of error 
in the typography, suggested by the author. The frontis- 
piece, however, is an addition to the original article, and is 
from a water-color view of the camping ground made by Miss 
B. Whitney. The view is from a point in front of the beach 
at the site of the village, and shows the flat on which the 
village was situated and the wooded ridge behind it.] 
* The party consisted of Dr. and Mrs. Hamilton, Arthur M. Hamilton, Frances 
Hamtlton, George U. Hay and Mrs. Hay, Joseph Pritchard and Mrs. Pritchard, Geo. 
A. Whitney and Miss Bessie Whitney, Geo. F. Matthew and W. D. Matthew, all of 
St. John; and Messrs. W. F. Ganong (now a professor in Harvard) and J. Vroom. 
both of St. Stephen; and Jas. E. Wetmore, of Grand Lake.
