the Hairy honeysuckle L. hirsuta, Eaton. This was covered with its 

 charming orange yellow colored flowers, making it most attractive. 

 Others exhibited were the native Wolf Willow, Eleagnus, of the North- 

 west in fruit, and Saskatoon, Amelancliier, in addition to representations 

 of our. best conifers. 



President Shutt added some interesting remarks on the role of the 

 Leguminosae in agriculture, and congratulated the club on its success- 

 ful outing. Mr. Sinclair, 15. A , of the Normal School also spoke 

 felicitously of the benefit of such excursions. A number of members 

 of the Ottawa Camera Club who were of the party succeeded in getting 

 several interesting views of the Mississippi Falls. 



The 8.30 train brought to Ottawa a cheerful and thoroughly 



satisfied party of excursionists* each with a strong desire to say "Rah ! ! 



for Galetta.

July and August Excursions. Owing to the absence from 

 town of a number of the officers and members of the O. F. N. Club, it 

 has been decided not to hold any field day during July. 



It is probable that the August Naur \i is 1 will contain an announce- 

 ment of one, to take place about the middle of that month. 



THE LATE PROFESSOR HUXLEY. 



British Science has lost one of its foremost leaders by the death of 

 Professor Huxley. He was recognized the world over as the greatest 

 of modern biologists and he was not only a profound original discoverer 

 he was also one of the best popular expounders of science. His con- 

 tributions to science were of a voluminous and varied character, and in 

 the field of Comparative Anatomy his work was especially brilliant and 

 successful As a lecturer he had but one rival, viz. : the late Professor 

 Tyndall, and the interesting circumstance may be recalled at this time, 

 that both these scientists were, in the course of their career, candidates 

 for Professorships in one of our Canadian Universities (Toronto). 

 British S< ieiv e may look with just pride upon the achievements of the 

 late Professor Huxley E. E. P.
