TREASURER'S REPORT. 



To the Council of the Ottawa Field-NaturalisU Club. 

 Gentlemen, 



I have the honour to report that the finances of the club are in * 

 better condition than they have ever previously been, Owing to some 

 unforeseen circumstances, including a short illness on my own part, just 

 before the annual meeting, by which 1 was prevented from collecting seve- 

 ral subscriptions and advertisements which were due the balance shown 

 on the balance sheet, is much smaller that it would otherwise have been. 

 The arrears have again been considerably reduced during the past year, 

 and of those still upaid, nearly all have promised to pay up before the 

 next annual rneetiDg. With the assistance of the Secretary and Libra- 

 rian, I have been able to keep the expenditure down to the very lowest 

 figure, as will be seen by the balance sheet submitted herewith, which 

 I trust will be found satisfactory.
