THE NEXT MEETING OF THE ASSOCIATION 



will be held in the assembly hall of the museum, 154 Stuyvesant Place, 

 St. George, on Saturday evening, November 16, 1912, at 8:15 o'clock. The 

 program will be under the auspices of the Section of Biology, and Mr. 

 Howard H. Cleaves, assistant curator, will give an illustrated lecture 

 entitled " Camping in Nova Scotia." J. Q. ADAMS, 



■ Acting Secretary. 



Arrangements have been completed for the course of high school lectures 

 to be given on Monday afternoons, and the list of dates, speakers and 

 subjects follows. On behalf of the museum we desire to express our deep 

 appreciation of the courtesy extended by visiting lecturers from other in- 

 stitutions, particularly the American Museum of Natural History. 



The lecture by Mr. Andrews on February 3 will be given at 8 p. m. All 

 other lectures will be given at 3 p. m. 



These lectures are intended for students of Curtis High School and for 

 those equally advanced in private schools. As the museum maintains a 

 course of Friday lectures for pupils in the grade schools, younger children 

 cannot be admitted to the high school lectures. Adults will be admitted, 

 however, in case the hall is not filled with the school attendance. No tickets 

 for the course are required.
