The membership of the society has been, considering the many 
attractions and varied social and religious interests of the city, fairly 
well maintained. But the council and members of the society are ear- 
nestly desirous that a larger number of the intellectual and public 
spirited citizens of Ottawa may avail themselves of the advantages 
afforded by the organization. 
Steps are being taken to publish another volume of the transactions 
of the society. The material is now in the printer’s hands and will 
be ready for distribution at an early date. 
VII.—From The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (Toronto 
Section), through Mr. JosEPH Pope. 
The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, as the name intimates, 
aims to be national in character rather than local. It has now an active 
membership of upwards of four hundred, distributed throughout the 
various provinces of the Dominion. 
With a view of best serving the interests of the entire membership, 
“ Sections ” have been or are being formed at various centres. All 
members of sections are full members of the society, receiving its pub- 
lications, etc., and have the additional advantage of local headquarters 
under their own control, without extra cost to themselves. One half 
of their fees being rescinded to the treasurer of the section to meet 
local expenses for meetings, etc. 
The society publishes a “ Journal,” of from sixty to ninety pages, 
-—free to its members—bi-monthly, thus affording a medium for plac- 
ing papers of immediate interest before the scientific world, without 
delay. The journal also contains world-wide gleanings from the field 
of science in which the members are particularly interested, as well as 
reports of meetings of sections, in this way serving the community of
