Abstract op the Annual Report. 



During the year seven ordinary meetings have been held, at which 

 twenty-six papers have been read. These may be classified as follow : 

 Zoology, 6; geology, 2; botany, 3; chemistry, 3; physics, 11; pure 

 mathematics, 1. This list shows a slight increase as compared with last 

 year's. 



The membership now stands at sixty-six, which is the same as last 

 year ; but the number of associates has risen to seventy-six. 



The library has been increased by the usual periodicals and dona- 

 tions, but it has been enriched especially by the Proceedings of the 

 Linnffian Society of New South Wales. 



The photographic section still continues to be a flourishing branch 

 of the Institute. The attendance at its meetings is very large, and in 

 September it held one of the most successful exhibitions ever held in the 

 colony. 



The balance-sheet shows that the total receipts for the year have 

 been £80 2s. 5d., and the total expenditure £71 Is. 6d., which, with last 

 year's balance of £32 10s., leaves a credit balance of £41 10s. lid.
