EXCURSION NO. 3. 



The last field day of the O. F. N. Club for the season of 1895 was 

 held, as announced, on 14th. September. The objective point was 

 the Paugan Falls on the Gatineau River near Low Station, about 

 40 miles from Ottawa. 



About 120 members and friends of the club were present, but there 

 was a dearth of leaders of sections, and owing to this cause and the rapidly 

 advancing autumn, the collection of specimens made was unusually 

 meagre. O.i the reassembling of the party in the afternoon, however, 

 and after a shurt introductory address by the president, Mr. F. T. Shutt, 

 M. A , the leaders in Botany discussed the flowers and plants collected, 

 Mr. !<. I'.. Whyte giving particular regard to the composite to which 

 order as he pointed out most of the autumn flowers belonged 



Mr. Craig drew attention to the number am! variety of the 

 coniferous trees standing near and made some interesting remarks upon 

 their nature and uses. 



After a short address by Mr. R. H. Cowley upon the importance of 

 natural history studies in education, the train for home drew up, and 

 the party reached Ottawa at S p. m.
