^(3 ' Appendix— ^Report of the Council. 
Museum . — While there has been no large addition to any 
single department of the‘Mnsenm this year, there have been 
considerable additions in several departments. The com- 
mittees on Geology, Botany, Invertebrate Geology and Orni- 
thology have done valuable work in their several departments. 
School of Science . — A Summer School of Science was held 
during the first week of July under the auspices of the 
society, and was attended largely by teachers from the various 
parts of the Province. Practical instruction, both in the 
held and laboratory, accompanied the lectures and addresses 
on various branches of Natural Science given by several 
members of the society. 
Lectures on Science . — Another important work undertaken 
by the societ}^, and now in progress, is the course of lectures 
on Elementary Natural Science. They are conducted on 
the principle of the summer school referred to above. The 
series includes nineteen lectures on Chemistry, Mineralogy, 
Zoology and Botany, and thus far have been well attended. 
In closing, the Council would express their thanks to the 
gentlemen who have prepared papers to be read before this 
so(;iety; and also to the city papers for i)ublishing preliminary 
notices of the meetings.
