valuable specimens being obtained. On this trip we had the 
pleasure of meetings Messrs. David Balmain and Duncan 
London. In past years, these gentlemen have given a 
large amount of stone age material to the Museum, and a 
reference to the list of this year’s donations will show that 
they have again contributed liberally to our collection. Among 
the noteworthy articles obtained from Mr. Balmain was part 
of a drilled stone, probably a pendant, and a very fine gouge 
wdth two protuberances on the back. This is the only ex- 
ample of this type of gouge in our collection. 
Mr. London presented a large number of objects of which 
some are of more than usual interest. One of these is a very 
large, plummet-shaped sinker, 334 x 634 inches, being at least 
six times heavier than any other plummet in the Museum. 
Mr. London also gave some fine axes and* flaked blades. 
Miss Norma M. L. Fenton, one of our junior members, 
found a beautiful example of a notched, barbed and stemmed 
arrow-head. This is the first arrow-head of this type to be 
added to our collection. 
Other specimens were obtained which are unique and 
worthy of mention, did space permit. Altogether there have 
been added to the collection this season, 239 New r Brunswick 
stone age implements and many hundreds of pottery fragments. 
Library (James A. Estey, Librarian.) 
As described in last year’s report, the library was trans- 
ferred to the third floor, and the books systematically 
arranged, only such works as are constantly required for re- 
ference being kept in the book-cases in the office. 
A large number of valuable books have been presented to 
the library during the year, and the thanks of the Society are 
due the donors whose names with a list of their gifts will be 
found elsewhere in this report.
