A series of the new Apochromatic objectives, made by Zeiss, 

 of Jena, was also exhibited at the October meeting by Mr. T. 

 Curties. 



Some interesting informal communications on various 

 matters were given by the President, Prof. C. Stewart, Mr. 

 Buffham, and others, which will be found in the Proceedings. 



Your Committee, however, desire to impress upon all mem- 

 bers the importance of bringing forward subjects — not neces- 

 sarily new — for discussion ; many facts and matters of in- 

 dividual experience would thereby become known, and much of 

 the original intention of the Club fulfilled. 



The " Demonstrations ' : previously given on some of the 

 conversational evenings were intermitted in deference to a 

 generally expressed opinion that several of the series were 

 better suited to the business of the ordinary meetings. It is 

 to be hoped, therefore, that similar material will be forth- 

 coming in the shape of papers.
