104 FIFTIETII ANN'UAL REPORT. 



Dr. Scott's Studies in Fossil Botany, a copy of which work is in 

 the Club's Library. The gift by Mr. Huish of a small set of 

 preparations of Mycetozoa has also filled a gap in the cabinets. 

 The Committee tenders its best thanks to Mr. Bestow for the 

 assistance he has given to the Curator in the issue of slides and the 

 work of the Cabinet, and to Mr. Todd, who as Assistant Librarian 

 has been full of energy in the work of the department. Also to 

 Mr. L. C. Bennett, who has been of the greatest service in making 

 visitors welcome and in introducing them and those newly elected 

 to the other members, and in thus promoting the social spirit 

 and friendliness for which the Club has always been notable. 

 Thanks are due to Mr. Robotham, who as Assistant Secretary has 

 supplied excellent reports of the meetings to the English Mechanic 

 on many occasions. 



The Committee wishes once again to express their thanks, and 

 those of the general body of members, to the various officers for 

 their care and often hard work in conducting the affairs of the 

 Club with such efficiency during the trying period of last year. 



Finally, they would call upon all if possible to increase their 

 efforts for continued success, by attending the meetings as often 

 as they can, by bringing a microscope with objects for exhibition 

 whenever possible ; and especially by making a communication 

 and taking part in any discussion at the Ordinary Meetings, and 

 by introducing the Club to the notice of anyone among their 

 friends who is likely to join it.
