TREASURER'S REPORT. 



To the Council of the Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club. 



Gentlemen, — I have the honour to report that the finances of the 

 club are in a satisfactory condition. Notwithstanding heavy and ex- 

 ceptional expenditures during the past year we still have a balance on 

 hand of $30.69, after clearing up all indebtedness. During the 

 year many subscriptions which had fallen in arrear have been collected. 

 A few raembers from various causes have left the club^ but their place 

 has been filled by new raembers. Our heaviest expenditure is 

 the publication of the Transactions of the Club in the shape 

 of the " Ottawa Naturalist." This during the year just ended cost 

 $220.95. Besides this a further sum of $40.56 was expended in 

 reprinting entirely the first thirteen pages of the Flora Ottawaensis, 

 and in having 100 extra copies struck off of pages 14 to 45. 

 This makes a total of $261.51 expended upon transactions, against 

 which there was received $67 for advertisements and $33.75 for trans- 

 actions sold j in all $100.95. A new item in the accounts is $11.00 

 as rent for the room in which we hold our meetings. The balance 

 sheet is submitted herewith.
