364 TRANSACTIONS, NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF GLASGOW. 



had the pleasure of welcoming you individually, and now do 

 so again collectively. The Council desire me to say that they 

 are much gratified at the warm response you have made to 

 their invitation. A few weeks ago the idea occurred to some 

 of us that the present would be a suitable occasion on which 

 to invite local Societies to send representatives to join us on 

 this auspicious occasion. That idea developed itself, and we 

 went beyond the boundaries of the City, inviting guests from 

 the north, south, east, and west. Representatives of twenty- 

 two Societies are here this evening, no fewer than four of these 

 Societies belonging to the sister city of the east. You will be 

 interested to hear the names of those Societies that are kindly 

 taking part in our celebration. They are as follows: —
