J^xcursions. 



'Nine sub-excursions were held during the season of 1903. The 

 attendance varied from twenty to two hundred. Special attention was 

 given to the forest trees, their mode of growth and the various means 

 of identifying them. The two general excursions were to outlying 

 localities, and were stUl more largely attended. Much individual work 

 was also done by different members of the club. 



Work Done lij the Several Branches. 



The work of the branches covers a wide field. The Botanical 

 section was exceptionally fortunate in having several of the leaders in 

 Ottawa during the entire season. Prof. J. Macoun. in his officiai 

 capacity, spent the summer in Ottawa and vicinity, making a special 

 study of the fungi. He added over two hundred species to the Ottawa 

 flora. Dr. James Fletcher has continued his studies of violets, and 

 done much toward the differentiation of species. Dr. Guillet has 

 devoted much time to phenological observations, and Mr. D. A. Camp- 

 bell to the morpholog}^ of plants. During the winter several meetings 

 were held at the homes of the members. At each meeting a paper Avas 

 read and discussed.
