Notice to members of the Ottawa Field- 

 Naturalist's Club. 



During the winter and spring months, papers read at the 

 Club's Soirdes are given precedence by the Editor of the Ottawa 

 Naturalist when arranging MSS for the printer. This rule very 

 frequently delays the publication of articles which, had they 

 reached the hands of the Editor at this season of the year could 

 have been published in the November or December number. 

 Members of the Club who have notes or papers to be published 

 in The Ottawa Naturalist will ensure the early publication of what 

 they have written and sav- the Editor much embarrassment later 

 in the season if they will at once send in their contributions. 



The Ottawa Naturalist is intended to serve as the medium 

 for the publication of the original work of the Club's members and 

 no member should hesitate to send to the Editor any material 

 suitable for publication.
