“The Ottawa Naturalist” for 1894-95 comprises a volume of 162 
pages. This monthly publication is the official organ of the society. In 
it are printed the principal lectures delivered before the club. It also 
contains special papers on scientific subjects contributed to other learned 
societies, as well as notes of general interest on matters relating to natural 
history in Canada. The first issue of the new series appeared on the Ist 
April, 1895. The dress and general appearance of the journal have been 
materially changed, and several other improvements respecting its pub- 
lication have been made. Its circulation, which we confidently expect to 
increase in the near future, now numbers about 400.
