contribution on the archmology of 
Manitoba, for which he has our sincere 
thanks. 
We are receiving most hearty en¬ 
couragement from arclupoiogists, and 
we trust our readers will appreciate 
the archmological articles with which 
we are presenting them. Editors will 
please bear in mind that all such arti¬ 
cles are written especially for the Com¬ 
panion, and should not be copied with¬ 
out our consent, and credit given also. 
By the time this number reaches

of old Ontario, enjo3dnga hard-earned 
vacation. On our return, we will write 
up an account of our adventures while 
in camp, which, we believe, will great- 
]y please our readers. All communi¬ 
cations intended for us onl}^ should be 
addressed “personal,” and the}^ will 
forwarded. All subscriptions and 
communications should be addressed 
as heretofore (address aliove) where 
they will await our return.
