110 Canadian Record of Science. 



I have to acknowledge the great assistance received from Mr. 

 Griffin, the superintendent, who is always ready and willing to help 

 the committee — especially in caring for and acknowledging the large 

 and increasing number of exchanges received by the library. 



The following donations have been received : — 



From E. D. Wintle, Esq., "The Land and Game Birds of New 

 England," " The Natural History of Cage Birds." 



From Dr. G. M. Dawson, " Geological Notes on the Coasts and 

 Islands of Behring Sea and its Vicinity." " On the Occurrence of 

 Mammoth Remains in the Yukon District." 



E. T. Chambers, 

 Hon. Librarian. 



Report op the Editing and Exchange Committee. 



Gentlemen : — During the past year the publication of the 

 Canadian Record op Science has continued as usual. Three numbers 

 have already issued, while the fourth is now in 'press. The with- 

 drawal of the Government grant to the Society during the past two 

 years has made it doubtful whether the publication of the Record 

 of Science can be continued, and although the Council of the Society 

 have decided to carry it on for the coming year the financial 

 difficulties have rendered it impossible during the past year to issue 

 the several numbers at the dates on which they should have 

 appeared. 



The rule of accepting only papers of merit and as far as possible 

 original papers, for publication, has been adhered to and a high 

 standard has thus been maintained. One or two papers which 

 appeared in German periodicals, and which were of especial import- 

 ance to scientific workers in Canada, have also been translated 

 and published in the Record. 



As in past years a large number of valuable exchanges have been 

 received for the Record and placed in the library. 

 Respectfully submitted, 



Frank D. Adams, 



Chairman. 



The rules having been suspended, Mr. F. Xotman was 

 elected an ordinary member of the Society by acclamation. 



Mr. Justice Wurtele, who had been appointed as the 

 Society's delegate to the meeting of the Royal Society at 

 Ottawa, reported that \\q had attended the said meeting
