There are eighty-four names on our associate membership roll, a 

 slight increase over the previous year. The organization continues to 

 be a very active one, anid the ladies have shown themselves at all times 

 desirous to assist heartily in the work and objects of our Society. 



Some important additions have been made to the Museum during 

 the past year, including objects of the French period and a collection 

 of insects, the latter from Mr. Wm. Mcintosh. The former are of special 

 interest at the present time, when we are celebrating the Ter-centenary 

 of Champlain. 



The field work of the Society during the past season was confined 

 to a series of Saturday excursions for the purpose of studying the 

 plants and animals of Eockwood Park and other places in the vicinity 

 of the city of St. John. 



It is a great gratification to the members of this Society that the 

 Royal Society of Canada responded so readily to the invitation of this 

 Society and two other kindred organizations to hold its annual meeting 

 for 1901 in this city on an anniversary which must be for ever memor- 

 able — that of the ^scovery of the river St. John by Champlain. It 

 is the desire of these societies to do everything in their power to make 

 tbe visit of the Royal Society of Canada profitable and agreeable.
