374 BULLETIN OF THE NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 
the guidance of members of the society who were experts in 
different dej:)artments. On one occasion we invited the 
University Club, who repaid the courtesy by giving us an 
excellent paper on Paracelsus. On another day we asked the 
Rector of Rothesay School to bring in any boys old enough to 
be interested, about fourteen or fifteen came and I am sure 
enjoyed the evening. Again we invited the Educational Class 
of the Kings Daughters who seemed to enjoy the occasion 
thoroughly. A short musical program was provided each 
evening and light refreshments at the close of the entertainment. 
Our membership continues about the same as last year. 
W e have lost some by withdrawal, several by removal and a few 
by death. Among the latter, there is no one who will be so 
much missed as Mrs. D. J. Leavitt, whose kindly presence and 
bright cheery countenance was to be found at almost every 
meeting. 
Our lecture courses for this fall and winter have been 
arranged, and will we hope, not fall behind in value or interest 
those of other years. We are glad to welcome one or two new 
lecturers to our platform and in recalling our motto that “Pro- 
gress is the Law of Life” we look forward hopefully to the progress 
we hope to make during the coming year with the blessing on 
our work of Him who said: “I am come that they might have 
Life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
