Tne five on Botany were delivered before the student} of the 

 Normal School by request of Principal McCabe. 



In additio.i to these lectures, and at the request of the Inspector 

 of Public Schools for Ottawa, a weekly class in Botany has been 

 organized as part of the regular instruction for the senior students at 

 the Central School West. The atteudance and attention displayed at 

 this class hive been most encouraging to the senior leader in botany 

 who has undertaken the work. 



The Council is much gratified to know that its efforts in the way 

 of encouraging the study of Natural History are more appre- 

 ciated. The attendance at the Soirees, the Excursions and the Classes, 

 was larger and the interest shown by those present was much 

 more mai'ked than, in any previous year. 



A copy of the Club's Transactions No. 6, containing 132 pages and 

 two plates, is herewith submitted, and we hope that it will be found a 

 creditable addition to our list of publications.
