of the geology, botany and zoology of Rockwood Park, the large public 
park established in the northern part of the City for the benefit of its 
citizens. Beside these papers, others have been read by Professor 
L. W. Bailey on the Diatoms found in the rivers and estuaries of New 
Brunswick, and by Professor W. F. Ganong on the Physical Geography 
of New Brunswick. 
The Ladies’ Branch (“Associates”) had a successful and well at- 
tended series of lectures at the close of 1910 on ‘ Folk-lore in Opera” ; 
and in the opening of the new year another series of lectures on more 
general topics. 
The usual annual field meetings of the Society were held last 
summer at various points near the City of St. John, and were well 
attended. Points on the Kenebecasis river and the seashore were 
visited, and the favourable weather added to the pleasure of those 
members who attended the field meetings. 
The finances of the Society are in a prosperous condition and the 
mortgages on its buildings have been paid off. The past has been a 
prosperous year in the Society’s history, and it now has more members 
than ever before.
