XL — Prom The Ottawa Field Naturalists' Club, through 

 A. E. Attwood, M.A., President and Delegate. 



On the 19th of last March, the Ottawa Pield Naturalists' Club com- 

 pleted the thirtieth year of its existence. Since the year of its inaugura- 

 tion, there has been a steady development in work, interest and mem- 

 bership. During the past year there was a net gain of thirty, making 

 the present membership 335 — the largest in the history of the Club. " 



Efforts are being made to have branches of the club organized in 

 towns and villages within the Ottawa District. We have reason to be- 

 lieve that two o,r three of such branches will be organized during the 

 present year. 



During the past winter the Ottawa Field Naturalists' Club co- 

 operated with nine other societies of the city in arranging a joint course 

 of free lectures, all of which were given in the Normal School. This 

 Club contributed two : one by Prof. J. W. Robertson, Principal of the 

 3VIacdonald College, and the other by Dr. A. P. Knight, of Queen's Uni- 

 versity. His Excellency, the Governor-General, was present at Prof. 

 Robertson's lecture.
