 TIic ()tta\v;i I'icld Xatunilists' Clul, was f)r-ani/c(l in \I:in li ,,S-n 
 (or thr cxpiv^s purpose of workin- up tlir Natural Hi>t.)rv of the (lis" 
 tnrt, iiii.l at the ixmc lime populari/in- llie studv of 'the (lifCerenl 
 lirani lies ol Natural Science. 
 
 I he v.ilue of these studies cantiot he f>ver-estiuiated, for, ftoui their 
 very nature, they are most heuelH i;,l JuHh to uuikI and I.odv while 
 Irom an ecouomit al pomt (.f view thev ate no le.s important'' I'verv 
 opportunity has been taken, since the or-ani/ation of the ( 'luh to 
 impress this ta< t upon the pul.lic, and to direct attention to the vilue 
 ol the work ai ( ()m|)lishe I. 
 
 The future of Ottawa is in lar-e measure dependent upon the 
 .ievcopment ol the va.t stores of minerals (ontained in the surruiind 
 iiiK distil, ts. and whi< h are as yet almost unexplored. The manifold 
 iLses and .lemand tor all ve-etable products make it necessarv tint the 
 nature an.l hahits of plants should he closelv studied, as well asth(.>eof 
 ihe countless mvna.ls of insect foes which dei^rive the cultivator ol so 
 nuu h ot his hard-earned gains. 
 
 It gives verv great .satisfaction to the memhcrs of the f'oimcil to 
 tmd that the Club is being graduallv re.omii/ed as a source of rdi ibl,. 
 reference on all these matters, 'j hev are i)arti. uiarlv anxious to en- 
 courage correspondei.ts, an<l they will gla.llv answer (uiestions and 
 urnish information on subjects relating to the Natural liiMorv of th.' 
 I'xahty. It IS hoped that all. whether members of the elub or not will 
 unhesilatmgly call its services into re(iuisiti.in. 
 
 'I'lic .Annual .Subscription is oulv ONE DOLLAR ; for which mem 
 I'crsare entitled to receive copie.s of anv publi.ations issued bv the

 chase tickets for the monthly Ia. uisions at reduced rates \uv one 
 wishing to jcim the Club can apply to a member of the Council. ' 
 
 I he su((ess which has accompanied this important undertaking - 
 as shown by the 'i'ransacticms alivadv published justifies the Council 
 in appealing conlulently to the public l„r .support and encouragement 
 inranv.ng out their work. This Circular will be received b^^nanv 
 who are not members, and although some mav not feel in a i-osition to

 ^•reat asMMance m p.romoting its aims by sending .spe'ciniens, makin- 
 iiuiiiines. or communicating informaticm relative to any new, rare o^r 
 remarkable objects or ])henomena which mav ((ane under" their 
 notice. " 
 
 A record of all work done bv the Club is published arnuallv in th.- 
 form of TRANSACTIONS of which three veaHv iuiihIh.is ha^ 'ulvldv

 25 cents ea.h. I hey contain Lists of nearlv all the Plants, .Shells and

 augur-l Auuresscs of the Pre.i(knt, and iiiteiesting and v.Uuable reports 
 ...Hi p,,pers m each branch of Natural llistorv. The number soon to
