SUB-EXCURSION No. i, 1900. 

 The first sub-excursion of the season was held on the 28th 

 April to Rockliffe, and thence to Beechwood. About twenty were 

 in attendance, the majority of whom were Normal School students. 

 Two of the Club's Leaders were present, viz.. Messrs. Wilson and 

 Gibson. The afternoon was pleasantly spent but the backward- 

 ness of the season, owing- to the cold, late spring made it very 

 difficult to find specimens of interest. Hepaticas, a few Trilliums, 

 and Dogtooth Violets, with Aspens, Willows, Red and Silver 

 Maples, together with a few other common spring flowers were 

 all that rewarded the naturalists. Mr. Gibson secured some spe- 

 cimens oiGrapta /aMw?#.y, Edw.,an uncommon species in this district.
