like most of the other lectures delivered under the auspices of the 
Society, were illustrated by means of the electric lantern and proved 
very popular, the children attending them coming chiefly from the 
public schools. The titles were as follows :—

The Society has also conducted, for the first time this spring, a 
series of short excursions to various points of interest in the vicinity of 
Montreal, in the hope that it may foster an interest in “ Nature Study,” 
and help to make the members better acquainted with the forms of life 
in our vicinity. The attendance at these has not been as large as was 
hoped for, but it is expected that the interest in this new line of the 
Society’s activity will increase as time goes on. 
The regular annual field day was held in June, at Montfort, and 
was one of the most successful in the history of the Society. 
The Society’s museum is now open to the public, the entrance fee 
having been abolished, and the number of visitors this year is about 
double that of last year.
