786 PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 



The President said he had arranged for two more visits of the 

 Society to the Natural History Museum; the first on Saturday, 

 November 28th, and the second on Saturday, December 5th, when he 

 should be pleased to welcome as many Fellows of the Society as came, 

 and to give them an hour's demonstration on each afternoon, which he 

 hoped would be of interest, the subjects chosen being Fossil and recent 

 Mammals and Reptiles. The party on each occasion would meet at 

 Owen Statue in the Central Hall at 2 . 30 p.m. This was somewhat 

 earlier than on former occasions, but it had been found necessary to fix 

 this hour as the Museum was closed at this period of the year punctually 

 at 4 o'clock.
