CIV ROYAL SOCIETY OF CANADA 
programme is becoming more and more difficult from year to year. 
The rapid extension of the city and the development of suburban 
resorts are greatly restricting many of the collecting grounds. Never- 
theless, during the year 1909-10 many interesting excursions were 
held, at which, as has been customary, addresses by leaders of branches 
and others were given. 
Volume XXIII of The Ottawa Naturalist (the official organ of 
the Club) was published monthly under the editorship of Mr. Arthur 
Gibson. It contains 230 papers and three full-page plates. 
There are Associate Editors for nine departments of Natural 
History, the names of whom and the branches they represent, for 
1910-11, are as follows:—W. T. Macoun, Botany; Rev. G. W. Taylor, 
M.A., Conchology; W. H. Harrington, Entomology; W. J. Wilson, Ph.B., 
Geology; Alex. McNeill, Meteorology; J. W. Gibson, M.A., Nature 
Study; Rev. G. Eifrig, Ornithology; L. M. Lambe, F.G.S., Palæon- 
tology; Prof. E. E. Prince, Zoology. 
The bound volumes and exchanges of the Club have been placed 
in the Carnegie Library, where, through the courtesy of the Librarian, 
Mr. L. J. Burpee, the members of the Club and others may have ready 
access to the Club’s literature.
