have been arranged. 
Educational Work . — For the past two or three years, we 
have been loaning to the teachers of the city schools, birds, 
minerals, plants, and other scientific material with lessons to 
accompany them. Last year, forty-one specimens were 
loaned to city teachers, but the demand has quite outgrown 
our supply. 
A great number of specimens and nature lessons have been 
supplied to schools in various parts of the province, and over 
1740 specimens have been named for teachers and others. 
The Curator has given a number of talks in the city 
schools during the year. There is a great demand for the 
extension of this work in the schools, but a multitude of 
duties in the Museum makes it impossible to supply all the 
lessons and material asked for, or to accede to all the requests 
to give nature talks in the schools. 
Lecture Committee (W. McIntosh, Chairman.) 
The loss which this committee has suffered by the death 
of Dr. Geo. U. Hay, and Dr. H. G. Addy is well nigh irre- 
parable. 
For the past twenty-two years, Dr. Hay has been the 
chairman of this committee and the success which has at- 
tended the lectures given before this Society during almost a 
quarter of a century, was largely due to the untiring zeal of 
the chairman. It will be almost impossible to find a successor 
so well suited as he for this department. 
Dr. Addy was a member of this committee for many years. 
His amiable qualities, sympathetic interest in everything per- 
taining to the Society and his considerate disposition won for 
him the respect and affection of those associated with him. 
Ten regular meetings of the Society were held during the 
year, including the Annual meeting. In November, the 
Society had a gathering to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary.
