The Provenclier Society has recently been founded in 

 Quebec for encouraging the study of Natural History and 

 especially for the preservation of the Canadian fauna, and 

 in fact to take on the functions of the Audubon Societies 

 of the United States in Canada. The Society derives its 

 name from the Rev. L. Provenclier, described as the Great 

 Canadian Naturalist. The present publication lias, in 

 addition to the regulations and the list of members, a 

 number of short notes on natural history subjects and 

 some pleasing coloured plates of the couimoner Canadian 

 birds. One remarkable feature of the publication is that 

 commencing from one cover the first 48 pages are in EngUsh, 

 while commencing from the other cover there are some 

 39 pages of French text with distinct notes and illustrations.
