30th October, 1900. 



Mr. Alex. Somerville, B.Sc, F.L.S., President, in the chair. 



This being the 49th Annual General Meeting of the Society, 

 the Hon. Secretary read the 



Report of the Council (1899-1900). 



Meetings. — Eleven were held, at all of which business was 

 transacted. The attendance was satisfactory, the large hall 

 having on two occasions to be requisitioned. 



Excursions. — A programme of excursions was drawn up for 

 four whole day, eight afternoon, and three evening excursions, but 

 some of the latter had to be abandoned owing to the inclemency of 

 the weather. Three of the excursions were held jointly with the 

 Geological Society, two with the Andersonian Naturalists' Society, 

 two with the Edinburgh Field Naturalists' and Microscopical 

 Society, and one with the Airdrie Natural History Society. In 

 no case, however, was there a large attendance.
