The thanks of the Society are due to the gentlemen who 
gave their valuable time in preparing and delivering these 
lectures. The Society’s field day at the River Rouge, on 
the 4th of June last year, was a success in every respect. A 
full sy nopsis of the day’s outing will be found in the 
Recorp or Science, Volume V, No.3. We beg to extend 
the thanks of the Society to the Hon. J. K. Ward, for his 
kind invitation and hospitality. Our thanks are. also due 
to the officers of the C.P.R. for their kind, and courteous

mote the comfort and enjoyment of the excursionists. ‘The 
thanks of the Society are hereby tendered to the editing 
Committee, for the Recorp oF Sciences, issued regularly, 
full of interesting and instructive matter; and we desire 
especially to thank Dr, Campbell for his work on this Com- 
mittee. It gives us pleasure to welcome back from the 
South our Hon.-President, Sir J. W. Dawson, in renewed 
health, after his long and severe illness, and we hope that 
he will again, as much as possible, give his valuable as- 
sistance to the work of the Society. The health of our 
esteemed President, the Very Rev. Dean Carmichael, during 
the past winter, prevented him from being with us as fre- 
quently as we could have wished, but we are glad that he 
is very much better, and able to preside at this meeting 
to-night. 
The membership Committee have not met during the 
past year; we would urge them for next year, to meet 
monthly, and endeavour, as far as possible, to prevent 
members from resigning, and give their attention to get- 
ting new members. 
The field day of the Society for this year, will be on 
Saturday, the 3rd of June. The place selected is the village 
of St. Agathe, formerly called Beresford, on the Canadian
