THIRTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF COMMITTEE. 



At the end of another year your Committee is again in a 

 position to present a favourable account of the Club's affairs 



During the twelve months ending December, 1895, twenty- 

 nine new members were elected, a slight increase on the 

 number for the previous year. By resignation and death our 

 losses amount to twenty-five. Amongst the latter are two past 

 Presidents, viz., Prof. Huxley and Mr. A. Durham, and two 

 distinguished Honorary Members, Prof. Williamson and Mr. F. 

 Kitton, and our former esteemed Treasurer, Mr. F. W. Gay. 



The attendance at the meetings has been remarkably good, 

 showing an average at the ordinary business nights of 52, and 

 at the conversational meetings of 27. This is distinctly 

 encouraging and goes to prove that, in spite of the recent 

 popularity of certain other branches of science and art, micro- 

 scopy still holds attractions for many. 



The chief communications at the meetings have been as 

 follows : —
