NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF GLASGOW. 



SESSION 1878-7 9. 



THE TWENTY-NINTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, 

 ANDERSON'S COLLEGE BUILDINGS, 



September 24th, 1878. 



Mr. James Barclay Murdoch, Vice-President, in the chair. 



The Treasurer submitted his Annual Financial Statement, which 

 showed a balance in favour of the Society of £73 13s. 5d. 



The Secretary read the Report of the Council on the business of 

 last Session. Since last Annual Meeting the death of four mem- 

 bers had been recorded, viz., Mr. Charles Malloch, a life member; 

 Mr. Thomas S. Hutcheson, Dr. James M'Pherson, and Mr. James 

 "\Vingate, ordinary members. During the Session 26 members 

 were admitted, one of whom paid the life composition, as did also 

 four who were formerly on the roll. The total number of members 

 last year was 150, and, making allowance for deaths, resignations, 

 and removals, the roll at present numbers 166, being an increase 

 of 16 since last Annual Meeting. No Special Meetings were held 

 during the Session, but the eight ordinary Monthly Meetings were 

 all well attended, and the business throughout was varied and 

 interesting. Several important papers were read, and many 

 specimens of interest were brought forward for exhibition. Full 

 Reports of all the Meetings appeared in the North British Daily 

 Mail, and the work of the Society was thus kept before absent 

 members, as well as before those of the general public who might 

 take an interest in Natural History pursuits. Part 3 of Vol, III,
