PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY. 127 



owing to the abnormal conditions occasioned by the War, there has been 

 some falling off in the numbers attending the meetings. 



The demonstrations which have been carried out have also been of 

 an importance which evoked corresponding enthusiasm, particularly 

 those by Mr. Barnard in connexion with the application of X-rays and 

 of Ultra-violet light to Photomicrography. 



The Biological Section, under the Secretaryship of Mr. Scourfield, 

 has maintained its reputation for interesting communications, and the 

 excellent attendance at the meetings. This section has held eight 

 meetings, with an average attendance of twenty. A number of well- 

 attended excursions has also been made during the session to various 

 laboratories and scientific institutions, and have proved highly in- 

 teresting and successful. 



Mr. Cyril F. Hill (Treasurer) read the Financial Statement for the 

 year 1915, and, after commenting on various points, remarked that 

 with reference to the subscriptions. Fellows would have noticed the 

 paragraph in the Report urging the payment of arrears of subscription. 

 During the last year there had been considerable trouble in getting in 

 the subscriptions ; he supposed it was on account of the War, as some 

 Fellows seemed to be under the idea that the Moratorium apphed to the 

 Society's subscriptions long after the true Moratorium had ceased. He 

 did not know how the Society would fare if that impression became at 

 all general. The balance seemed satisfactory, as far as it went, seeing 

 that the Journal kept up its reputation. 



Mr. Hiscott proposed, and Mr. Watson Baker seconded, the adoption 

 of the Report of the Council and that of the Treasurer, and this was 

 carried.
