DONATIONS. TO THE LIBRARY, 1904. 
385 
was successfully conducted by the Associate members. Two 
lectures of the course have already been given. They were well 
attended, notwithstanding the stormy weather. 
The Association hasbuisieditself in procuring donations to the 
library and museum, and is pleased to report continued interest 
in the latter. The museum is open to the public on three after- 
noons in the week — Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Many 
school children come, and some teachers regularly bring classes 
and give them object lessons in Natural History. 
There is every prospect that the current season will prove not 
less useful and interesting to the members than former ones, and 
I would express the hope that the year will not pass without 
some steps being taken toward the better housing of the museum 
and library, which should be a source of pride and a centre of 
interest to the citizens of St. John.
