In all, some 30 articles on nature study have appeared in TJi3 

 Ottawa Naturalist during the past three years. They are of a popular 

 and decidedly practical nature and have added much valuable material 

 to the current literature on this subject. The papers published during 

 the past year have all been contributed by scientists and educationists 

 actively engaged in working out the best courses and methods in nature 

 study. 5,500 of each of these papers have been printed in pamphlet 

 form and distributed throughout Canada; 2,200 of these go to the 

 teadliers of Toronto, 500 to the Macdonald Institute of Guelph for use 

 in the Nature Study Department of the Ontario Agricultural College, 

 and 1,000 to Dr. Robertson, 500 of which are distributed among hi^ 

 nature study instructors in various centres. 



The following programme of winter soirées has been carried out 

 with some slight omissions and changes in dates. The attendance at all 

 the meetings has been most gratifying.
