Sub-excursions At a joint meeting of the Council and Leaders 

 of the Ottawa Field Naturalists' Club, held in the Normal School, 26th 

 April, 1895, ^ vvas unanimously agreed "That sub-excursions be 

 arranged for Saturday afternoons, as in former years. Sub-excursion 

 parties will assemble at the City Post Office beginning Saturday, 

 May 4th, at 2.15 p.m. sharp where leaders in different branches of 

 the Club's work will be in attendance. Interesting localities within 

 easy reach of the electric car system will be visited, and special oppor- 

 tunities afforded to those who desire to study the flora and fauna of 

 Ottawa and its environs. 



Fees The new Treasurer elect, Mr. D. K. Dowling, Geological 

 Survey Department, Ottawa, calls the attention of the members of the 

 Club to the date which he has taken the trouble to place on the address 

 slips informing each member of the time of expiring of his or her subscrip- 

 tion. As the Naturalist cannot be published without funds, a prompt 

 payment of the fees now due by members of the Club, will enable the 

 publishing committee to carry on its work with greater facility and suc- 

 cess. Membership fee, comprising subscription to Ottawa Natura- 

 list, only one dollar. 



The Ottawa District For purposes of Natural History and 

 for more exactly defining the limits of the phrase " Ottawa District," it 

 was unanimously agreed at the last Council meeting of the Ottawa 

 Field Naturalists' Club to limit the territory included, to that which is 

 comprised within a circle whose centre is Ottawa, with a radius of 

 thirty miles. 



Meteorological Observations The members of the Ottawa 

 Field Naturalists' Club are particularly indebted to Mr. R. F. Stupart, 

 the new Superintendent of the Dominion Meteorological Service at 

 Toronto, for a most valuable abstract of observations which we publish 

 in this number of the Naturalist.

 the Ottawa Field Naturalists' Club, held since the annual meeting, it
