The Society consists of about 200 local members besides a number 
of corresponding members. Sixteen names were added to the list 
during the year now ending. The following members died during the 
year: Prof. D. P. Penhallow, D.Sc.,ex-President, who died at sea, October 
20th, 1910; Hon. J. K. Ward, M.C.L., Honorary Vice-President; Mr. 
J.T. Molson, and Mrs. J. H. R. Molson, a warm friend of the Society. 
The Annual Excursion of the Society took place to the Boys’ 
Farm at Shawbridge, June 4th, 1910. This farm is situated at the 
foot of the Laurentian Hills, and afforded a profitable day’s outing to 
the members of the Society and their friends. 
It is a matter of regret that the report has again to be made that 
the interesting and valuable Museum of the Society is still stored in 
cases, and has been since the sale of the old property in University 
Street. The crying need of a museum for the instruction of the people 
is deeply felt in a city the size of Montreal, which at present is without 
such an institution. A valuable site has been secured for one, on 
Mountain Street, out of part of the proceeds of the sale of the Univer- 
sity Street property; and plans have been prepared for the erection 
of a suitable building thereon, but thus far it has not been found prac- 
ticable to procure the funds required for the purpose. This is much 
to be regretted, as through the Museum the Society used to do its 
most effective educational work. It is hoped that the citizens will 
realize the loss from which Montreal is suffering for want of a building 
in which to exhibit the priceless collection of the Society. 
Another regret has to be expressed, namely, the continued suspens- 
ion of the publication of the Record of Science the Society’s quarterly 
journal, which for so long a period had rendered signal service to Science. 
The Government of the Province has been appealed to, to aid in reviving 
this periodical which with its predecessor The Canadian Naturalist 
and Geologist did so much in the half century of its history, to set forth 
the natural resources of the province, and good hopes are entertained
