Dr. Hay was for many years an active member 
of the Natural History Society, serving on the 
board of management in various offices. For a 
number of years he was president of the Association 
and since then has served as vice president, filling 
the position with much acceptability and holding 
it at the time of his death. 
After Rev. Jas. Fowler’s removal from St. John 
to take the chair of Botany in Queen’s University, 
Kingston, Ont., Dr. Hay remained as our leading 
local botanist and devoted his spare time to the 
study of the New Brunswick flora, making excur- 
sions to various parts of the province. A resume 
of the scientific work of Dr. Hay will be prepared 
and offered for publication in the next Bulletin.
