The atiairs of the club, I am happ3' to state, are in an exceedingly 

 satisfactory condition. The membership roll numbers 260 persons and 

 the interest evinced by all is evidence that the society is prosperous and 

 doing good work. Although unassisted by government or other aid, the 

 funds of the club (entirely derived from members' subscriptions) have 

 been sufficient to maintain the '-Naturalist" and carry on the work of 

 the club generally. For the further extension of our field of work by the 

 enlargement of the -Naturalist," more money is required, and we trust 

 that towards that end the Ontario Government may in the near future 

 see its way clear to assist us. 



The library continues to increase ; many valuable volumes, among 

 which I have to acknowledge with thanks the Proceedings of the Jîoyal 

 Society, having been received dui'ing the ])ast year. 



At the annual meeting held in March last the following officers were 

 elected for the season 18'.Hj-97.
