APPENDIX — REPORT OF THE COUNCIL. 45 



BOTANY. 



The botanical committee report the discovery of a number 

 of plants not heretofore known to occur in this province; also 

 a more extended range for some plants than yet recorded. 

 The report of this committee will be found attached. The 

 subject of forestry is full of importance to our people, and 

 is well worthy the attention and close study of some of our 

 members. 



MUSEUM. 



Our custodian has continued his work on the museum 

 during the year. 'I'he rooms are open every Tuesday night 

 and every Saturday afternoon, and we invite the members to 

 avail themselves oftener of these opportunities to examine and 

 study the collections. 



PUBLICATIONS. 



During the year our tenth Bulletin has been issued and is 

 now in the hands of the members. This number completes 

 the second volume of this publication and is furnished with 

 an index. Five hundred copies have been printed of all the 

 Bulletins except No. Ill, of which only three hundred were 

 printed. This proved, however, to be too few, and for some 

 time it has been impossible to secure copies of this Bulletin. 

 Iq consequence of this it was considered advisable to reprint 

 part of it in Bulletin No. X. 



FIELD MEETING. 



On Wednesday, August 10th, the Society held a very suc- 

 cessful field meeting at Sand Cove and Manawagonis Beach. 



The party proceeded to Sand Cove by the Shore Line R,R., 

 and through the kindness of James Manchester, Esq., were 

 permitted to use his grounds and buildings as headquarters 

 for their excursion. 



The geological party visited Sheldon's Point in the fore- 

 noon, and made themselves familiar with the trap-ash rocks 

 which there form the point on the West side of Sand Cove.
