REPORT OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY 

 OF MONTREAL. 



1909-1910. 



Presented to the Royal Society of Canada by Harry 



Bragg, M.J. I., Honorary Librarian. 



September, 1910. 



Mr. President and Gentlemen : — 



Herewith I have the honour to present to you the 

 Annual Report of the Natural History Society of 

 Montreal, which is now in the eighty-fourth year of 

 its age. 



It is very pleasant to be able to state that the work 

 of the Society during the year, so far as the regular 

 courses of Free Public Lectures is concerned, has been 

 carried on very energetically and successfully, and that 

 the larger attendance of the public has continued to 

 show increasing interest in the questions chosen for these 

 lectures. The Saturday Afternoon Lectures for Children 

 were so popular that a larger room had to be secured 

 to accommodate the audience, while the larger Hall of 

 the Y.M.C.A. Building was crowded at several of the 

 Somerville Course. 



The Programmes of the three Courses given by the 

 Society were as follows : — 



REGULAR MONTHLY MEETINGS OF THE 

 SOCIETY. 



"The work of the St. Andrew's Biological Station," 

 Dr. D. P. Penhallow. 



"Animal and Plant Life in the Mackenzie Basin," 

 Fred. S. Lawrence, F.R.G.S. 



"The Natural History of Death," Prof. J. C. 

 Simpson. 



"The Mineral Resources of Northern Ontario and 

 Quebec," Dr. Alfred E. Barlow.
