In his report, our energetic Librarian will give you a rdsume* of 
the duties devolving upon him and a list of the additions to our Library 
during the year. 
The Treasurer is able to show a balance on hand of $3-1.20 which 
is very creditable as we receive no outside help to enable us to publish 
the Ottawa Naturalist or "Transactions" of the Club. A new 
departure has been deemed advisable in the publication of the Natura- 
list, and Sub-editors were appointed to give notes of observations made 
in the different branches of the Club's work. This method has met 
with general approval and satisfaction and added interest to the reading 
matter in the volume. 
The Naturalist has been published regularly every month, and as 
near the beginning of the month as possible. It is distributed to the 
members and exchange list free of charge, whilst a number of copies 
of the volumes of the Transactions were sold during the year, 
showing the esteem in which its pages are held by outsiders. 
In conclusion, the Council hopes that the new year which will soon 
begin for the Club will be one marked by increased activity in all 
branches of the Club's work. 
All of which is respectfully submitted, 
Henry M. Ami, 
Ottawa, March 21st, 1893. Secretary.
