Archeology. 
During the year there has been an encouraging interest taken in 
the study of archaeology. David Boyle, Duncan London, Dr. Smith 
of Tracadie, and others, have donated interesting specimens to the 
museum. Dr. Geo. F. Matthew read a paper on this subject at the 
May meeting of the Royal Society, which will be published in the 
next volume of Transactions. In another paper on the Rockwood 
Bog, the same author draws attention to certain evidences of the early 
appearance of man. This paper appeared in the Canadian Record of 
Science for July, 1900. Mr. S. W. Kain has also carried on archae- 
ological studies, and a paper from his pen appears in this Bulletin. 
In another paper, which also appears in this Bulletin, Messrs. Kain 
and Rowe figure and describe some relics of the early French occupation 
of the province. The Committee on Archaeology state that a new 
case for their department is urgently needed. 
Ornithology. 
The Committee on Ornithology report several donations of birds to 
the museum. Two lectures have been delivered on Bird Life. The 
specimens in the museum have received the usual care ; and much 
valuable field work has been done by members of the Society. 
Entomology. 
The Entomological Committee report that continued interest is 
taken in the study of insect life. During the past year much valuable 
work has been done in this branch of nature study. Systematic 
collecting has been carried on by members of the Society, particularly 
in the vicinity of St. John and in the Nerepis valley. About 450 
specimens have been sent to experts for identification. Many of these 
have proved of extreme interest to entomologists. 
Field Work. 
During the summer three field meetings were held. The first was 
held at Ingleside. Among those present were Prof. W. F. Ganong 
and W. A. Hickman. 
The second was held at Red Head. Here the fossils in the clay- 
beds were examined, and a well-defined example of post-glacial faulting 
was noted on a rocky point to the southward of Dr. H. G. Addy’s 
summer residence.
