Nearly one hundred volumes of exchanges have been prepared 
for binding, and as soon as the works in the French language have 
been selected and arranged, will be placed in the binder’s hands 
as directed by the Council. 
It has been thought fit for the information of members to pre- 
sent with this report a list, as complete as possible, of the publica- 
tions now received in exchange for the Record of Science.! In 
looking through this list it is seen that it requires revision, and on 
comparing it with the lists of other similar institutions, it is evi- 
dent that it might be much extended. It is therefore suggested 
that the exchange committee might be asked to take this matter 
in hand. 
The Hon. Librarian in concluding his report cannot but express 
his sense of the loss sustained by the death of the late Mr. F. B. 
Caulfield, who was for so many years a member of this Committee. 
He was for some time Librarian, and as he always took great in- 
terest in examining new books as they were added, was so well 
acquainted with the contents of the cases, that his knowledge and 
advice were at all times of the greatest assistance. 
Respectfully submitted, 
| E. T. CHAMBERS. 
ANNUAL FIELD DAY. 
The students of the different branches of natural history, 
organized under the name of the Natural History Society, 
have a good field for the pursuit of their specialties on 
Montreal Island, but with the view of extending the field of 
research,.the annual outing of the society is an established 
institution. This year, as last, their destination was the 
River Rouge, near Calumet, to which they flocked in large 
numbers on Saturday, June 4th. 
A special train under the courteous and efficient charge - 
of Abe KE. Wright, left the Windsor Depot at 9 o’clock.
