SUMMARY OF MEETINGS. 
Saint John, February ist, i88i.

Botsford in the chair, G. F. Matthew, Esq., delivered an 
address, showing in brief the work done by geologists in this 
Province during the past forty-two years. 
March ist, i88i. 
Mr. Robert Chalmers read a ‘paper this evening on the 
evidences of glacial action on the shores of the Baie de Chaleur. 
He described this evidence, which seemed to point unmistakably 
to the fact that the bed of this Bay was once the seat of a glacier, 
some one hundred and fifty miles in length, twenty-five to fifty in 
width, and in some places not less than one thousand feet in 
depth, moving eastward, and being probably a small independent 
glacier, — a portion left on the breaking up of the great ice sheet 
which had previously extended over the whole of this section of 
the continent. 
April Mh, j88i. 
A paper on “ Medicinal Plants,” from the pen of Dr. Dun- 
can, of Bathurst, was read this evening, and, on motion, was 
ordered to be published.
