The Council here desires to thank tlie Leaders of the several 

 Branches for their efforts to make the Outings instructive and interest- 

 ing, and also those members who read Papers at the Soirees or gave 

 Aftei'noon Lectures, especially Prof. Macoun, who, in addition to the 

 work originally undertaken by him, kindly and ably supplied the place 

 of two members who were unable to deliver their lectures. 



The Library has been enriched by many valuable exchanges and 

 donations, lists of which have been published from time to time. 



In accordance with the resolution passed at the last Annual 

 Meeting, the Transactions and Proceedings of the Club have been 

 published monthly, under the title of The Ottawa Naturalist, form- 

 ing a volume of ISO pages, and containing reports of all Excui'sions 

 and Meetings, as well as the Papers and Eeports which formerly were 

 alone published. 



As members have been thus kept fully informed as to the work of 

 the Club, it is unnecessary to further enlarge this Report. 



Signed on behalf of the Council,
