Provisional plans and estimates for a building worthy 

 of the Institution and its work, and in keeping with the 

 fine neighbourhood in which it is to stand, have already 

 been made, and an active canvass of the friends of the 

 Society is now going on. It is hoped that the whole of 

 the money required for the building and its requirements 

 will soon be raised, and that actual work thereon will be 

 begun in the near future. With a home in every way 

 adequate to the work which the Natural History Society 

 feels it should be doing, in and for Montreal, we con- 

 fidently look forward to entering upon a new lease of 

 life replete with fresh zeal and courage.
