256 Canadian Record of Science. 



REPOET OF THE EDITING AND EXCHANGE 

 COMMITTEE. 



Your Editing and Exchange Committee beg leave to 

 report that two numbers of the " Record of Science " were 

 issued since the last annual meeting, one in July, 1903, 

 vol. ix, No. 1, and one in January, 1904, vol. ix., No. 2. 

 There was serious delay occasioned by our printer, with 

 regard to both issues. The contents consisted mainly of 

 papers communicated to the Society, and pertained to 

 many of the fields of Natural History, while they were of 

 special interest to those engaged in local research ; they 

 were of greater or less intrinsic value as aiding in the 

 extension of a knowledge of Natural Science generally. 



The exchange list continues to be large and valuable. 



Respectfully submitted in name of the Editing and 

 Exchange Committee. 



Robert Campbell, Chairman. 



REPORT OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE. 



Montreal, 30th May, 1904. 

 To the President of the Natural History Society : 



Sir : — Your Committee begs to report that the lease of 

 the present tenants has been renewed for one year to 

 May, 1905. The many repairs to the building which 

 have been reported aud delayed for several years for want 

 of funds have been carried over owing to the property 

 being under offer for sale. The option is given to 1st 

 November next. Should this sale be carried out, your 

 Committee is ready to carry out a proposition that will 

 (with the consent of the Society) place the Natural History 

 Society in a position to make it independent in the future. 



The thanks of the Society are due to the Superintendent 

 and Mrs. Griffin for their many extra services during the 

 past year. — Yours respectfully, ^ Holden 



For the Committee.
