vitation of the same kind gentleman, will be at the “ Riviére Rouge.” 
As this is a delightful spot for scientific work, we would like to see 
our members turn out in full force. We are to have a special train

REPORT OF THE EDITING COMMITTEE OF THE 
RECORD OF SCIENCE. 
An attempt has been made to maintain throughout the year the 
high standard which the Recorp has reached as an exponent of 
the science of the Dominion, and it is believed that in this your 
committee has been successful. 
It would, however, render the journal more interesting to a larger 
number of readers if a greater proportion of papers on biological 
subjects could be secured. 
Though a couple of the numbers for this year were late, owing 
to unavoidable circumstances, the quality of the matter did not 
suffer, and excellent original papers have been found in all the 
numbers. 
It is desirable to introduce more and better illustrations into the 
Recorp, and for this purpose a sum not less than $150.00 per 
annum should be at the disposal of the committee. 
We think it would be well if some one competent and willing to 
devote special attention to the subject of exchanges were added to 
the committee. 
It is but right to mention that by farthe greater part of the work 
in connection with the Recorp has fallen to Mr. Frank Adams, 
who has devoted much time, energy and ability very cheerfully to 
the work. The Committee feel deeply indebted to him, and trust 
that he may continue to give his valuable services in this field of 
work. 
Westy MILs, 
Chairman.
