REPORT. 



1911-1912. 

 The Miramiclii Natural History Association, having completed 

 its fifteenth year, begs leave to report as follows : — 



We have never had a more successful year than the past one. 

 Our average attendance at our weekly lectures now averages one 

 hundred, and the interest in the subjects presented steadily 

 grows, the pupils from the High School taking particular interest 

 in them. Quite a large number of our old members have married, 

 moved away, or died, but now new ones bave joined, so that our 

 roll is about the same. A large geological cabinet, 32 x d feet, has 

 been added, and a large vacancy in one of the wall cabinets 

 finished out, as well as a large addition to the library shelving. 

 There has been presented to us, by the kindness of the Local Gov- 

 ernment, a fine specimen of a bear, which is a valuable addition 

 to our museum. A large number of strangers who have visited 

 our rooms to inspect the collection, which they had heard of, 

 expressed much surprise that so much had been done in so short 

 a time. When some persons will walk two miles and others drive 

 twenty to attend the lectures, it is a pretty good index of the 

 interest taken. Our roll stands about as follows : — 



Life members, 6 



Honorary members, 3 



Members, 57 



Associate members, 30 



Corresponding members, 9
