1906J Report of the Council. 13 



the Club, has done valuable work in compiling a list of birds new 

 to Ontario which have been taken in the Western Peninsula since 

 the issuance of Mcllwraith's revised work. This list appears in 

 No. 11 of the volume of the Ottawa Naturalist just com- 

 pleted. 



The Treasurer's Report shows a balance on hand of $61.62. 



A Summer School for Teachers was held in Ottawa last July. 

 Several members of the Club delivered lectures in the Nature 

 Study Course and aided in the field work. Dr. White did prac- 

 tical field work wilh the class in Physical Geography. Mr. Put- 

 man delivered illustrated lectures and conducted experimental 

 work in Botany, Mr. Attwood delivered lectures on minerals and 

 did a great deal of field work, Dr. Fletcher gave two lectures on 

 birds and two on insects, Prof. Prince lectured on Fish Life, Dr. 

 Ami on Ferns, Dr. Saunders on Evergreens, Mr. R. B. Whyte on 

 the pleasures of gardening and other members on various other 

 subjects. 



The Council desires to call the attention of the Club to the 

 large number of unbound magazines in the library and would 

 suggest the binding of such of these as a committee appointed to 

 make a selection would consider most worthy of preservation. 



The thanks of the Club are again due to Principal White for 



so kindly placing the Normal School at its disposal, and also to 



the press of the city for its efforts in furthering the work of the 



Club. 



Respectfully submitted. 



T. E. Clarke, 



Secretary. 



The Library Committee, acting under instructions from the 

 Council of the Club, has almost completed the arrangement of the 

 periodicals in the Library with the object of having them bound. 

 A good many numbers are missing, and the members who have 

 borrowed them are asked to return them to the Library as soon 

 as they conveniently can, so that the Committee may conclude its 

 work It is hoped that this notice will make it unnecessary to 

 apply directly to those who have the borrowed numbers in their 

 possession.
