In accordance with a vote passed at the last annual meeting, the Council 
have caused to be printed the “Transactions” (No. 1) of the Club for the year 
1879-1880. Included therein are the list of officers, list of members, rules 
report of Council, inaugural address, and such papers as dealt with the natural 
history of this vicinty, or with the original researches of members. These are 
contained in a well printed pamphlet of sixty-two pages, enriched, through the 
kindness of Mr. Grignard, by two fine lithographic plates. The Transactions are 
certainly most creditable to a young club, and have been so recognized and wel- 
comed in every direction, deservedly obtaining for this Club a reputation, to 
enlarge and retain which will call for well directed and energetic work in the 
future. Exchange of publications has already been requested by influential 
societies in Canada, the United States and England, and complimentary notices 
have appeared in papers and periodicals of these countries The Club has thus 
been brought into contact with kindred societies, and henceforth must strive to 
preserve the good name it has so soon acquired in the scientific world. Five 
hundred copies were obtained at a cost, including plates, of $78.43. Toward 
payment of this amount, the sum of $28.54, the balance in hand from 1879-80, 
was appropriated, and the Council is happy to inform you that the remainder 
has been defrayed by receipts from the sale of copies, of which 175 are yet held 
by the Club for future sale or distribution. Your attention is strongly urged to 
the value of these Transactions, both to individual members and to the Club. 
Annexed is the Financial Statement for the year, wherein you will find 
that, after the settlement of all accounts, the Club is in possession of the ex- 
tremely satisfactory balance of $55.52.
