Report of Natural History Society '-Ol 



The Society would especially thank McGill Univer- 

 sity and its professors for valuable assistance given in 

 connection with the courses. 



The Annual Field Day was held at Phillipsburg, on 

 the shores of Missisquoi Bay. Its success was in a great 

 part due to Mr. Henry Timmis, who kindly gave the So- 

 ciety the freedom of the quarries and works of the Missis- 

 quoi Marble Co. The judges of the botanical and geo- 

 logical specimens were Miss Van Home and Dr. Milton 

 Hersey. 



The press of Montreal has continued generously to 

 give notices and reports of meetings.

 three highly valued members, Dr. J. C. Cameron, Wm.
