from Millidgeville to the city. The visitors will preserve many 
pleasant recollections of the day* and of the kindness and hospi- 
tality of Mrs. Grannan and her friends. 
The third meeting on the programme for August 4, to Ray’s 
Lake, by invitation of Mr. Henry L. Everett, had to be cancelled 
on account of the wet weather. 
The fourth meeting, which was under the charge of Dr. G. U. 
Hay, was held at Land's End, Kings County, August 20th, on 
the heights overlooking the St. John and Kennebecasis rivers. 
The invitation from Mrs. (Dr.) Skinner, Miss White and Miss 
Carrie M. Skinner had been cordially accepted, and the reception 
given by the kind hostesses to members of the Society, as they 
climbed the steep hill from the river, or came by way of Millidge- 
ville and Bayswater, was especially cordial. . 
The day was perfect, the river smooth and the view from the 
picturesque spot far extending, embracing the waters and hills 
of the lower St. John in all their grandeur and loveliness. Mrs. 
and Miss Skinner and Miss White made charming hostesses. 
After all had partaken of afternoon tea on the lawn provided 
by the hostesses, Dr. Bailey and Professor Klugh, of the biolog- 
ical station at St. Andrews, who are making a survey of the lower 
St. John, spoke of some results of their work. Dr. Bailey said the 
surface water of the St. John at Westfield is almost fresh owing 
partly to the volume of the St. John and the Nerepis. A stratum 
of salt water lies below this. 
Professor Klugh gave some interesting facts about the large 
leaved aster and referred to the dozen or more kinds of asters 
and golden rods now found in bloom in various places in the 
Province. 
A walk was then taken over ‘‘Ouangondy” path which over- 
looks the St. John, giving a series of picturesque views — none 
more lovely than that of Sunset Rock — onward to the ‘‘Amphi- 
theatre,” formerly the site of a house whose grass grown cellar 
is still visible, up to which from the cliff overlooking the river, 
rises a series of gentle knolls bordered with noble pines and 
cedars of rare beauty in shape and outline. The walk was enlivened
