Through the efforts of members of the Society, the common schools 

 of the city of Fredericton have been supplied with sets of common 

 minerals for class use, and the High School is being supplied with a 

 collection of the minerals of New Brunswick. Some field work has 

 been done by the members of the Society, but not as much as might 

 be desired. Mr. AY. H. Moore, however, one of our ornithologists, has 

 been able to add two birds to the list of summer residents of New 

 Brunswick — the Marsh Wren (Cistothorus palustris) and Lincoln's 

 Song Sparrow (Melosphiza Jincclni).
