many availed tlieniselves of this oj)[)Oitunit/ of acquiring more 

 knowled^'e of tlie insect worul. We were p rticularly crratified to see 

 so iiianv present on ti.e evening wlicn the President delivered his 

 address, as it evidenced sucli an int^u-est as should 1)-; taken by our 

 members in the work of a kindred society. 



We would ])articular]y imi)ress upon any nieuibeis wlio may not 

 vet liave paid their subscription fees for tlie current year, tliat these 

 dues are payable in advance. Formerly when the transactions of tho 

 Club were {)ublished almost at the close of the year, the Treasnrei' did 

 not lind it necessary to call upon the members before tliat time, bnt 

 under the present method of monthly publication the Treasurer (M i-. 

 James Fletcher, Ex[)erimental Farm) has corres|)onding payments to 

 make, and must look to the inembeis to provide hiui with the requireil 

 funds. 



Another, and veiy important, way by which the treas\iry can be 

 repleted, and the Club at the same time strengthened at every point, is 

 in the securing of new mendiers. There are nndoubtedly s ill many 

 j)ersons in the city who might deiiNc both pleasure and advantage from 

 attending the Leccures and Classes of the coming winter, and who only 

 await information as to the objects and work of tlie Chib to induce them 

 to join it. 



Members will have observed no doubt that the September and 

 October nunibei-s of onr magazine contained only twelve pages each. 

 The eight pages tliereby at ])resent lost will, however, be regaine<J 

 when the proposed revised List of Ottawa Plants is ready for [lubliea- 

 tion, and will enable the first portion of that list to l)e printed without 

 subdivision. This new list of our plants will be one of great value to 

 botaiii ts, as numeror.s additions have been made to the " Flora 

 Gttawaensis" [mbli.-hed in Transactions No. T, and information regard- 

 ing the habitat, etc., (A each species will be given.
