10 The Ottawa Naturalist. [April 



request, continued the Saturday outings into the month of 

 October. 



The Council recommends that in future a programme of 

 excursions for the entire season be drawn up at the first meeting 

 of the Council, and that a printed copy of the programme be 

 mailed to each member of the Club. 



The Ottawa Naturalist. 



Volume XXI of The Ottawa Naturalist, the official 

 organ of the Club, has been published under the editorship of 

 Mr. J. M. Macotm. It consists of twelve numbers paged 1-120 

 and 153-244, as explained on page 204. The numbers of this 

 volume present a more attractive appearance than those of 

 former years, due to the better quality of paper used and to the 

 clearer letter-press. The distinctive characteristic of this 

 year's publication, however, is the prominence given to the 

 proceedings of the Club. Full reports of papers read at the 

 soirees have been published, meetings of the Council have been 

 reported, the discussions at the branch meetings have been 

 excellently summarized and the lady members of the Club have 

 written the most interesting accounts of excursions ever pre- 

 pared for The Ottawa Naturalist.

 volume.
