Book Description
Excerpt from Archaeological Report, 1899: Being Part of Appendix to the Report of the Minister of Education, Ontario Upwards of two thousand Specimens have been added to the muse um during the past twelve months. We are indebted to numerous friends for single, and small numbers of specimens from various parts of the province, and outside of it, but our largest additions represent the work of collectors in the counties of Victoria, (north) and Brant, those from the former locality having been brought together by Mr. George E. Laidlaw, of The Fort, Balsam Lake, and presented by him as an accession to the fine collection he placed in our possession last year. The only field work prosecuted by your curator was in connection with the examination of some mounds on Pelee Island, to which refer ence appears in what follows. Had time and circumstances permitted, much more work of this kind might have been accomplished, and the hope may be indulged that opportunity for original research will more frequently present itself next year, for the reason already so often urged, namely, that the march of improvement is rapidly destroying traces, the existence of which, and particulars respecting which, should be recorded.
