Presented b}^ Dr. A. G. Nicholls, Delegate. 



The Natural History Society of Montreal beg to submit this their 

 Annual Report for the year ending May 31st, 1913, being the 86th 

 Annual Report of this Society. 



We are pleased to be able to state that, notwithstanding some 

 disadvantages, the past year has been one of sul^stantial progress. The 

 various courses of Lectures as stated below, including the Somerville 

 Course and the Saturday Afternoon Talks to Children, have been con- 

 tinued, and the attendance showed a marked improvement over any 

 previous year. So great indeed was the intei'est shown that in each 

 of the above courses seven lectures were given instead of six as in former 

 years. 



The papers presented at the Monthly Meetings were of an original 

 character, and of an unusual order of excellence, many of the subjects 

 ti'eating of matters of great economic importance to Canada.
