8 THe Orrawa NATURALIST. [ April 
EXCURSIONS. 
Sub-excursions were held as usual during the spring and early 
summer to localities in the immediate vicinity of Ottawa, viz :— 
Beechwood, Blueberry Point, Beaver Meadow, and Rockliffe. 
Sub-excursions were arranged for the fall months also, but were 
cancelled because of heavy rains or cold weather. Two general 
excursions were held during the season, the first to Casselman on 
May 21st, and the second to Chelsea a week later. The heavy 
rain of the preceding days was responsible for the small number 
who attended the excursion to Casselman. Those who went, how- 
ever, represented almost all branches of the Club’s work, and 
spent a very profitable field day. The excursion to Chelsea was 
attended by about 200 members and friends of the Club, who spent 
an ideal day in this most interesting locality. More detailed 
accounts of these outings have appeared in THE Orrawa Natur- 
ALIST from time to time.
