8 The Ottawa Naturalist. [April 



.if 



nest boxes will be put up this spring and at the Experimental 

 Farm 160, under the direction of the Club. The question of 

 protecting birds, the economic value of certain common species 

 and the proposal of the Club for the protection of the native 

 birds around Ottawa were dealt with at one of the winter 

 lectures by Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt, Dominion Entomologist. 

 An abstract of this address was printed in the March number of 

 The Ottawa Naturalist. 



The Ottawa Naturalist. 



Under the direction of the Publications' Committee, The 

 Ottawa Naturalist, the official organ of the Club, has appeared 

 regularly during the year and Volume XXVII is now complete. 

 Mr. Arthur Gibson has continued to edit it. The ten numbers 

 issued (two of which were double numbers) comprise 180 pages, 

 in addition to which 23 plates appeared. This large number of 

 plates adds very much to the appearance of our journal, and, of 

 course, increases its value very materially. 



The following are the most important papers which have 

 appeared in the volume : —
