Excerpt from The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 1981, Vol. 95 The late seventies have emerged as a time of retrospectives. There is widespread interest in heritage parks and buildings, historical exhibits, and retrospective collages of movies and television shows. There is no time more appropriate for a review of past achievements than at a centenary, and The Ottawa field-naturalists' Club, established 100 years ago, has not let the opportunity slip by. In my opinion, a periodic stocktaking 1s a worthwhile exercise. It tells you not only where you have been and where you are, but, if done seriously and thoughtfully, perhaps where you are going or ought to be going as well. In this spirit, then, the Council of The Ottawa field-naturalists' Club decided to conduct a kind of colloquium, inviting experts in various fields to tell us what has happened in their own fields of specialization over the last 100 years or so. It was decided that the talks should have a Canada wide rather than local focus to emphasize the role this club has played in the study of natural history throughout Canada. The meeting took place on 19 May 1979, at the Victoria Memorial Museum (home ofthe National Museums of Natural Sciences and of Man). The papers, as you will see, related a fascinating history of natural history in Canada. It was clear from the outset that the history took shape as a result of individual personalities reacting to events of the time. In fact, what emerged was a mini-history of Canada, with its stories of the explorations for the transcontinental railways, isolated Hudson's Bay Company trading posts, and growth of the major Canadian cities. They traced the change from the strong influence of Europe and Europeans on early endeavors to the gradual growth of a body of competent Canadian professionals and amateurs. It was pointed Ont by several speakers that serious amateurs made many significant contributions throughout this period. Throughout the talks, it became clear that much of the accumulating information on Canada's natural history was revealed in The Canadian field-naturalist. Members of The Ottawa field-naturalists' Club have every right to be proud of the part the journal has played in documenting the history and development of the field-oriented natural sciences in Canada.

Excerpt from The Canadian Field-Naturalist, 1955, Vol. 69 Five of these nine animals wandered over a mile, and were caught as follows. One was found frozen in a hole in a creek bank miles away, where it had probably frozen or drowned. Another was a kit which had been tagged in the nest in July and the following spring was taken in poor condition along a small stony creek three miles from the banding site. A third stepped into a trap along a creek over a mile from the place where tagged. The huge female killed 'by a dog in winter has been mentioned. The other was in a small creek eight miles distant from the place where tagged. Of 28 young tagged in the nest only three were recovered but each of these was a considerable distance from its home nest. A litter of 10 was tagged on June 5. Two of these were trapped the following spring one 175 yd., the other 500' yd. Away. The third was from a litter of 4 tagged July 26. It was taken in spring three miles distant. No'.
