Mar. 20.—Annual meeting of the O. F. N. C. for the reception and

N.B.—At each meeting various objects of natural history will be 
exhibited and conversation and discussion expected. Any member is 
at liberty to introduce a paper or note on any natural history subject in 
connection with the work of the club at any of the evenings of the 
course. 
I believe I am warranted in stating that the attendance at these 
meetings, during the past year, has never been surpassed in the history 
of the club. 
The lectures and soirées are free to members of the club and of the 
educational institutions of Ottawa as well as to any of the general pub- 
lic, no charge or fee being levied from any member, save the one dollar 
per annum subscription to membership. 
The club has no permanent headquarters but the field, and it is 
with special gratitude that we acknowledge with thanks the kindness of 
the Department of Education in providing rooms in the Normal School 
for council meetings, for the library, and for public meetings. Our 
thanks are also due to the Young Men’s Christian Association for the 
use of their Assembly Hall on three occasions, to the rector of the Uni- 
versity of Ottawa for placing at our disposal the Academic Hall of that 
institution for one of our meetings and also to the Ottawa Electric Light 
Company for placing and giving the use of wires and lamps for the 
microscopical evenings free of charge; and to the press for inserting 
notices of our meetings.
