The objects of the Society, as set forth in its Constitution, are as

Meetings, Membership, Etc. 



Regular meetings are held at 9. 30. a. m. on the first Saturday in 

 each month. The Society, which started with twenty-four charter 

 members, has now fifty-two names on its roll. The increase in mem- 

 bership and interest has been steady, and the results obtained by 

 united endeavor, so far, satisfactory. For convenience in working, 

 the members are divided, according to their own preference, into five 

 sections, as follows : Geology and mineralogy, botany, zoology, orni- 

 thology, and entomology. Each of these sections is in charge of a 

 committee of three. The annual membership fee is twenty-five cents, 

 and visitors, invited by members, are welcomed. The election of officers 

 takes place on the Saturday before Labor Day in each year. The 

 thanks of the Society are due the Natural History Society of New 

 Brunswick, and especially to President G. U. Hay for help in organ- 

 izing, copies of bulletins, and many other favors. 



W. N. BIGGAR, 



Secretary.
