The Club notes with pleasure the honor conferred upon two 

 former Presidents. Dr. J. F. Whiteaves has been awarded the 

 Lyell medal by the Geological Society of London, an honor that 

 has been conferred upon only two other Canadian scientists, Sir 

 William Dawson, and Prof. Frank Adams; and Dr. R. Bell has 

 been awarded the Patron's Gold Medal by the Royal Geograph- 

 ical Society, the Cullum Gold Medal by the American Geograph- 

 ical Society, and the Queen's Coronation Gold Medal for geological 

 work in Canada. 



The Club desires to express its gratitude for the apprecia- 

 tion of its work shown by the Ontario Legislature in increasing 

 the annual grant from $200 to $300. 



The Treasurer's Report shows a balance on hand of $48.63. 



The thanks of the Club are due to Principal White for plac- 

 ing the Normal School at its disposal, to the Library Board of 

 the City Council, and to the Librarian, Mr. Burpee, for the use 

 of the Lecture Hall of the Carnegie Library, and to the Press of 

 the city for its efforts in furthering the work of the Club. 



All of which is respectfully submitted. 



T. E. Clarke, 



Secretary.
