obtaining sufficient accommodation for the existing Library. This 

 difficulty is now, however, in a measure solved through the kind- 

 ness of Mr. J. G. Waller, who has placed a room in his house at 

 the disposal of the Club. In this room the Committee propose 

 storing such volumes, unbound parts of periodicals, &c, as are in 

 least demand ; a list of these will be kept by the Librarian, and any 

 of them can be obtained by giving notice at a previous meeting. 



These volumes have been included in the Club's policy of 

 insurance. 



The thanks of the Club are due to Mr. Waller for this privilege, 

 which will materially lessen the perplexity and lighten the labour 

 of our Hon. Librarian, Mr. Alpheus Smith.

By permission of the College authorities, a Special Exhibition 

 Meeting will be held on the second Friday in March, full notice 

 of which has been sent in due course to all members. 



The attendance at the Excursions and the specimens secured 

 were fully up to the average of former seasons, but nothing extra- 

 ordinary was recorded. The day excursion to Whitstable, owing 

 mainly to the kind services of Mr. Sibert Saunders, was greatly 

 enjoyed by a numerous party. 



The Journal of the Club, under the editorship of Mr. Hailes, 

 has been kept up to its usual standard ; but members are reminded 

 that a constant supply of contributions is necessary, if it is to retain 

 the reputation it has already acquired. 



The Council of the College have again accorded to the Club the 

 privilege of holding its meetings in the Library. 



Your Committee further desire to thank the Treasurer, Secre- 

 taries, Reporter, Librarian, and Curator for the services they have 

 rendered in carrying on the business of the Club. 



They trust finally that the past history of the Club will act as 

 a stimulus to future efforts, and that it may long continue to 

 flourish.
