There have also been five of the Private Meetings 

 established by the Rule adopted at the last Annual 

 Meeting, and the Council were in possession of ma- 

 terials for a sixth. Whether the experiment has or 

 has not succeeded, is a question on which there is a 

 difference of opinion : some pointing to the extremely 

 thin attendance as proof of failure, — others relying on 

 the nature and quality of the Papers produced there 

 as incontrovertible evidence of success. The subjects 

 brought before the Private Meetings have been as 

 follows : — 



First Private Meeting, 



" On the Anatomy of Limaces, (Slugs) with a separation of them into 

 distinct Species, founded on their internal organization" — ^by 

 Mr. Nunneley — (read Nov. 14th, 1834.) 



2nd. "On the Temperature of the Tunnel of the Leeds and Selby 

 Railway" — ^by Mr. West.
