BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 
In the summer and autumn of 1905, several additions were 
made to the mycological plants or fungi of the province. The 
past season was so dry all over this province that the fungi did 
not come forth in the usual abundance, so that few collections 
were made. 
The committee realize more fully that a new and revised 
edition of our flora should be published at an early date. Such 
a revision can be made with better advantage after the publication 
of Gray’s New Manual, for which the committee is waiting.

Field Meeting. 
Three field meetings were held during the summer of 1906. 
The first was at Gondola Point on the Kennebecasis. 
The morning threatened rain but a goodly number of mem- 
bers assembled at the steamer Clifton which was to convey the 
party to their destination. The passage through the narrows 
gave excellent opportunity for observing the contrast of the 
Huronian Limestones, with the beds set up on edge and cut by 
dykes of dark colored trap, and the horizontal red sandstones 
that rest upon them and border the shores toward the Boar’s 
Head. 
Passing around Boar’s Head the steamer opened up the wide 
reach of the Kennebecasis River, dotted on the south side by the 
limestone islands of Ragged Point and the Brothers, and skirted 
on the north by Kennebecasis Island and the low granitic cliffs 
of Barlow’s Bluff. In passing up through Kennebecasis Bay, one 
of the members of the party gave an impromptu lecture on the 
chequered geological history of the Kennebecasis valley, showing 
the various geological forces which in the past had moulded its 
outlines; this history goes back to pre-Cambrian times. 
In the upper part of Kennebecasis Bay a fine opportunity is 
had to observe the contrasted contour, presented by the old 
volcanic rocks of the north shore of the river, and the worn 
sedimentary deposits of the south side — the former showing in
