ThirsTc Natural History Society. — The third annual meeting of this Society 

 was held on the evening of the 5th. of December, 1856, the President, 

 Mr. J. G. Baker, in the chair. The officers brought in their report for 

 the past quarter, and were re-elected unanimously. 



The Committee revised a list of the rules, and Mr. John Rhodes was 

 requested to put in circulation amongst the members the result of their 

 labours. 



It was agreed that all donors of money, or books to the amount of five 

 shillings, be recognised as patrons of the Society. 



The following works were proposed to be purchased for the library, and 

 accepted unanimously, — "Kirby and Spence's Introduction to Entomology," 

 and "Dr. Lauder Lindsay's Popular History of British Lichens." 



Mr. J. H. Davies exhibited a specimen of Cinclidotus riparius, of Ar- 

 nott, in fructification, from Sussex. Mr. J. G. Baker exhibited specimens 

 from Gormire of an Epilobium, resembling palustre in habit of growth, 

 but differing by its decurrent leaves and angular stem, which he suggested 

 to be likely to prove an undescribed species, and which he proposed, if 

 such proved to be the case, to call Epilobium ligulatum; he also shewed 

 to the meeting a series of specimens of the critical Manchester Barbaria, 

 described by Mr. Burton, under the name of B. vulgaris, variety intermedia.
