Proceedings of the Nat. Hist. Soc— 1910-1911 503 



building in which to exhibit the priceless collection of 

 the Society. 



Another regret has to be expressed, namely, the con- 

 tinued suspension of the publication of the Record op 

 Science, the Society's quarterly journal, which for so 

 long a period had rendered signal service to science. 

 The Government of the Province has been appealed to, 

 to aid in reviving this periodical which with its prede- 

 cessor, "The Canadian Naturalist and Geologist," did 

 so much in the half century of its history, to set forth 

 the natural resources of the province, and good 

 hopes are entertained that such financial assistance shall 

 be obtained from this quarter as will enable the Society 

 to resume the publication. 



Otherwise, the Society is in a flourishing condition. 

 It continues to receive most valuable assistance and en- 

 couragement, in prosecuting its work, from the scientific 

 staff of McGill University. Their presence at the So- 

 ciety 's meetings and on its lecture platform affords a 

 wonderful stimulus to the amateur scientific workers of 

 the Society. The Society also highly appreciated the 

 privilege extended by the university authorities in per- 

 mitting two of the Somerville lectures to be held in the 

 Physics Building. 



Mr. Alfred Griffin, the old and tried superintendent 

 of the Society's premises and property, continues to 

 efficiently discharge the important duties of his office. 



The following are the present officers of the Society : 



Patron — His Excellency the Governor-General of 

 Canada. 



Hon. President — Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal. 



President— Milton L. Hersey, M.Sc, LL.D. 



Hon. Vice-President — Hon. J. K. "Ward. 



Vice-Presidents — Frank D. Adams, Ph.D., F.R.S.C.,
