Author Description

Excerpt from The Ottawa Naturalist, Vol. 32: April, 1918-December, 1918 The time has come, however, when a local periodical of this nature is inadequate and the Dominion requires a more creditable and representa tive publication for the record and dissemination of the results of scientific research. The ottawa naturalist, with its already established position, long and honorable history and scientific standing, seems a logical nucleus from which such a publica tion should be developed.
