 I. AKCHiEOLOGICAL AND MIfSCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS. 
 CaMS on left-hand side and opposite stairway. These contain coiiectiona 
 
 of specinuius illustrating Ani'-iican Aicliaology, including Dr. G. M. 
 Dawson's collei tions from the Queen Charlotte Islands and Dr. Dawson's 
 collections from the site of Hochelaga. In these are many interesting 
 examples of Aboriginal wood-carving, pottery and stone implements and 
 weapons. There is also a collection of American skulls, with thos.> of 
 other peoples for comparison. 
 
 Wall on right-hand side. Casts of footprints of Sduroims ungui/er a large 
 batrachian from the coal-formation of Nova Scotia — presented by the 
 Geological Survey. Orthoceras titan, a gigantic shell allied to Nautilus, 
 from the Lower Silurian. Footprints of a gigantic biped reptile (Bron- 
 tozoum) from the Trias of Massachusetts. 
 
 In this room are also some casts of Greek and Assyrian Antiques, and a cast 
 of the famous Rosetta stone which gave the key to the interpretation of 
 Egyptian liieroglyphics.

 Fossil footprints from the Potsdam sandstone {Protichnites and Climac-

 King crabs, the latter are of doubtful origin. The original slabs con- 
 taining them were presented by the Heirs of the late Sir W. E. Logan, 
 and form part of the Logan Memorial Collection. They were collected 
 by Mr. James Richardson. Other specimens are casts presented by the 
 Geological Survey.

 the <()lle( tions of Sir W. E. Loiran and Dr. Dawson. 
 
 Second Table Case. Sihirri-Ciimhiinn. The fossils in this ctise t'Xtend from 
 the Caliiferoiis to the lindscm Iliver gronp. and arc of especial interest 
 as inclndin^' tin- Quebec group of Sir VV. K. Logan and the ('hazy and 
 Trenton limestones of the (piarries near Montreal. The ujiright cases 
 facinLT this case contain additional fossils of the same formation. The 
 (Jraptolites from Levis and the Lower St. Lawrence, collected by Mr. 
 James ]li( hardson and presented by the Heirs of Sir W. K. Logaii. are 
 especially noteworthy. 
 
 Third Table Case. Sifuiinn. This contains the formations from tlio Medina 
 sandstone to the Helderberg inclusive. It is specially rich in the fossils 
 of the Niagara limestone; many of them presented by Lieut. -Col. (irant 
 of Hamilton. In the upright case are large and beautiful specimens of

 Middle and Upj)er Carboniferous. These specimens are principally from 
 Dr. Dawson's collections, as are those in the upright cases and on the

 easts (if a gigantic aininuiiite and criiioid.) Most t>f the fossils in this 
 case are foreign. 
 
 Ninth Table Case. Cirtuc'on.i. The Cretac eons system closes the age of 
 reptiles, of which, however, sonn^ giganti<: tyjies, as 'Mo.sa.saurus, still 
 remain. It is marked hy the earliest appearance of the ordinary liony 
 and horny-scaled fishes, 'of wiiicii there is a tine collection from Mt. 
 Lehanon and from England, ami by the great clialk deposits, with many 
 sea-urehins, si)onges and foiaminifeia — the latter con- ising the greater 
 liart of the chalk. Here also are the earliest hroad-l. . - d fruit-bearing 
 trees (Angiosperms). of which there are collections fre :n Dakotah and 
 the North-West Territory ; tlie latter presented by the Geological Sur- 
 vey Here also are the earliest birds, illustrated by casts of the genus 
 IIr.yieroniiK of Marsh. Among the f(issils in the table (ase are specimens 
 from the cretaceous of British Columbia, iiresented by the Geological 
 (Survey. 
 
 Tenth Table Case. Eorene (in,/ Miocene. This introdiU'es tin; ago of mam- 
 mals, and these are represented by specimens and easts of parts of the 
 more important forms. There are also collections of the marine shells 
 of the Paris Basin, of the French Faluns^and of the Eocene and Miocene 
 of the United States, and some of the plants of the Laramie or Lignitic 
 group of the West. Skulls of two of the earliest apes (^/Jryopithecus and 
 Jlcsojiithecux) are represented by casts. 
 
 Eleventh Table Case. Pliocene and Pleistocene. The Pliocene age is 
 represented principally by fossils from the sub-Appenine beds of Italy 
 and the English crag. The former are interesting as having been those 
 which first directed attention to the study of fossils in a scientific man- 
 ner. Tlie Pleistocene is represented by Canudiau examples, this for-

 First Table Case on the right. This contains native elements, sulphides, 
 ch ori.les iuor.des, oxufes, &c. There are several good specimens of 
 native gold, ..ne of which, from Bakers Mine, Oldham, illustrates well 
 tlie mode of occurrence of gold in Nova Scotia. Native sulphur from 
 Sicily, zinc-blende from Si.ain, tetrahedrite from Clausthal, and fluor- 
 spar from a number of localities may also be mentioned, 
 the adjoining Upright Case to the left is a large specimen of ame- 
 tl.>st trorri Lake Sui)erior, a fine group of quartz crystals from Hot 
 Springs Arkansas; bornite or horse-flesh ore from the Harvey Hill 
 Mine, Q.; a large octahedron of magnetite from Ontario, crystals

 Out., presented by Mr. J. O. Miller, mica from Urenville, Templeton, Ac ' 
 and chromiferous garnet from Orford. On the nIicIvcs facing the third 
 table caHe are specimens of several varieties of serpi^ntinc, and a mitten 
 made from the fibrous kind called chrysotile, though often wn.ngiy 
 termed asbestus. There is also a series of specimens of apatite, a large 
 crystal of H|)hene or titanite from llenfrew, Ont. ; bla<k tourmaline from 
 Tem|)leton, Q. ; and poctolite from Bergen Hill, New Jersey. 
 
 Third Table Case. Thiscontainsspec imens of tourmaline, titanite, stanrollte 
 and a tew other anhydrous silicates, as well as a number of hydrous 
 silicates, including talc, .serpentine and the beautiful minerals known 
 as zeolites. Of the latter there is a special collection presente<l by Dr 
 Dawson, and collected by him in Nova Scotia, where /.eolitcs are fonmi 
 in great i)erfection. In thi.-i case are also specimens of apatite or phos- 
 piate of lime, mostly present'jd by Mr. J. G. Miller, pyromorphite or 
 phosj)hate of lead, Ac, Ac. 
 
 The next Upriglit Case is chietly devoted to carbonates and sulphates, and 
 to the dirterent varieties of mineral coal. Worthy of notice here is a 
 beautiful sbilactite from the Cave of Matanzas in Cuba, presented by 
 Mr. Peter Uedpath, and the large si)ecimens ot nail-head spar (calcite) 
 froin the Mile-End quarries, Montreal. Among th(! coals are sijecimens 
 of Cretaieous age from some of the mines of Vancouver Island, presented 
 '•y *''^', 9^"'"^'''"' ^"'vey. A collection of Canadian marbles, the gift 
 ot Dr. helwyn, is also placed in this case. 
 
 Fourth Table Case. Thiscontains sulplmtes(barite, celestite, gypsum, anhy- 
 drite, Ac), carbonates (calcite, aragonite, dolomite, siderite, dawsonite, 
 Ac), as well as coals and related substances. The mineral dawsonite 
 was originally found at Montreal, but has recently been discovered in 
 Tuscany. It is specially interesting on account of its unusual compo- 
 Bition, being a hydrous carbonate of aluminium and sodium. A collec- 
 ^'"^of P'»08phates from the Island of Mona (W. I.), pre.sented by Mr. J. 
 '"'" ease. In the upright cases at 
 
 G. Miller, is tempoi .-^ arranged in this 
 
 each end ot the Mid rol Collection, and adjoining the Palreontological 
 Collection, are specimens intended to illustrate peculiar rock structures, 
 effects of weathering, Ac, mostly presented by Dr. Dawson. Tlie Case 
 on the right contains good examples of shrinkage-ciw ks, ripple-marks, 
 rill-marks, slukenside, Ac, while that on the left holds numerous illus- 
 trations of concretionary structures, contorted strata, dykes, veins, Ac. 
 
 The lon^ Table Case, facing the mineral collections, is devoted to rock 
 specimens, and contains a small general collection of the more ordinary 
 rocks, and several special collections. One of the latter is composed of 
 eruptive rocks from Montreal and the vicinity, collected by Dr. Har- 
 rington. Among these may be mentioned as of special interest, the 
 ncpheline syenites, nephelinite, teschenite, and nepheline -basalt, 
 rhere is also an interesting series of one hundred specimens of 
 European rocks, the gift of Mr. J. F. Torrance, B. A. ; another series 
 from Europe consisting chiefly of volcanic rocks, and a nmall collection 
 oi miscellaneous rocks from New Hampshire.
