During the summer afternoons — especially Saturday 

 half-days — members should meet and take train for good 

 fielding and hunting ground chosen by experts in the 

 vicinity and show hoAv to hunt for pond life, diatoms, 

 algae, mosses, micro-fungi, botanical, etc., and then 

 take supper and have a social evening and then take 

 train home. 



The publication of the meetings. Some of the work 

 should be printed in some one of the papers and notice 

 of excursions printed there. In this way friends are 

 made, health gained, Science becomes a pleasure and 

 a gain. Hours of winter or rainy day amusements. 

 Teachers' work lightened because some know a good 

 field for Amoebae, another for Volvox, another for Hyd- 

 rae and yet another for Micro-Fungi and from the 

 young mounters, we get our expert workers developed 

 and who become the machine and pillars of the Society
