LX VI ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
The Ottawa Naturalist. 
The Ottawa Naturalist or Transactions of the Ottawa Field-Natur- 
alists Club was published regularly during the past year under the 
able direction of Mr. J. M. Macoun, assistant naturalist to the Geological 
Survey Department. The volume of Transactions published during 
the past year is the largest in the history of the club and we trust not 
the least useful and interesting from the nature of its papers. 
This volume constitutes Volume XV. of the Trans. of the O. F. 
N. C., or Volume XIII. of The Ottawa Naturalist, and contains upwards 
‘of 300 pages of text having six plates or illustrations of specially in- 
teresting forms treated in the volume. 
The editorial staff of the Ottawa Naturalist, for Vol. XIII., con- 
sisted of the following: James M. Macoun, Editor, together with a 
number of associate editors :— 
Dr. R. W. Ells, Geological Survey of Canada Department of Geology
