ordinary to Cairo, Egypt. The Archaeological collections number

from 333 to 350 inclusive. The collection of the late J. C. Sample,

of Perrysville, O., was presented by Mrs. Elizabeth Sample. Mr.

D. S. Leech of Lima, Ohio, presented a very wonderful specimen,

the effigy of a fish, found by Mr. Leech's father many years ago.

Considerable attention has been given to the Mineral col-

lections. Labels have been made giving name, composition, local-

ity and uses of the mineral, as well as the name of the donor.

It is proposed to form a collection of the various minerals found

in Ohio and some progress has been made in this direction. The

Ohio shales exposed along Paint Creek have been examined and

fine specimens of quartz, pearl-spar, barite and calcite in crystal-

lized form have been found, lining cavities in concretions weath-

ered out of the Ohio shale. Pyrite and marcasite have also been

found in the lower strata and this may have been the source of

the nodules found in the mounds of the Hopewell Group.
