Dominion, the Ottawa Naturalist includes reviews and notices of scien- 
tific writings from the pen of various workers in several branches of 
the club’s work, which are of value to Canadians. There remains only 
to add that during the past season several members of the club have con- 
tributed specimens to the Local Herbarium in the Provincial Normal 
School at Ottawa, besides other specimens to the geological collection. 
It is hoped that in the near future the club will assist in establishing at 
Ottawa a reference collection which will comprise not only the Phanero- 
gamia and Cryptogamia, amongst the plants illustrating the flora of 
Ottawa, but also collections of the minerals, insects, shells, and fossil 
organic remains of the “ Ottawa district.” The grant to the club from 
the Ontario Government has enabled the publishing committee to illus- 
trate the volumes of the Ottawa Naturalist just issued more copiously 
than heretofore and the club desires to place on record its appreciation 
of the Provincial Government’s action. 
On behalf of the club, I have the honour to present herewith to the 
library of the Royal Society of Canada, a copy of Volume XIII. of the 
Ottawa Naturalist, which represents Volume XV. of the Transactions 
of the Ottawa Field-Naturalists’ Club. 
Appended is a list of the officers of the club elected at the last 
annual meeting held March 20th, 1900, for the term March, 1900, to 
March, 1901.
