The Library. 



Several new publications have been added to our exchange 

 list during the year, some of which are valuable contributions 

 to current scientific literature. There has been quite a demand 

 for back numbers of The Ottawa Naturalist, and in most 

 cases the requests were for a number of volumes. The most 

 important exchange was a shipment of 10 volumes to the Natural 

 History Museum of Hamburg, Germany, for which we received 

 a number of volumes of their Societ}' Bulletin, which is an 

 excellent one. 



The Club Library at present contains a number of extremely 

 valuable books, bulletins and periodicals, which, at present, are 

 little used, owing to the lack of an index. It is hoped, however, 

 that an arrangement will soon be made whereby a suitable 

 cataloguing of the exchanges will be maintained. 



Excursions. 

 The excursions arranged for by the committee in charge 

 were all well attended, and much interest was taken in local 

 natural history. The work accomplished at the various outings
