GEOLOGICAL SECTION. 



rri HE work done in the Geological Section during the last 

 -L two years has been very limited. The number of 

 inembers in the Section is practically stationary. During 

 1895 Mr. James D. Marshall, a member of the Bristol 

 Geologists' Association, read two papers on British Brachio- 

 poda, his papers being illustrated by a unique collection 

 of fossils. 



The first of these papers had to be postponed from 1894 on 

 account of Mr. Marshall's illness. The second of the papers 

 was supplementary to the first one. Both papers will be 

 found published in full in the accompanying volume. 



At the first Annual Meeting for 1896, held at University 

 College, on March 25th, the accounts and expenditure for 

 the Sessions 1894-1895, together with the Annual Report, 

 were presented and passed, and the oSicers re-elected. 



The Hon. Secretary referred to the loss the Section had 

 sustained in the death of Mr. Charles Richardson, M. Inst. 

 C.E., past President of the Bristol Naturalists' Society, who 

 for many years regularly attended the Sectional meeting. 



On the motion of Professor Lloyd Morgan, in the absence 

 of the President, Mr. A. Capper Pass, it was carried unani- 

 mously that the Hon. Sec. should draft and forward to Mrs. 

 Richardson a letter of condolence and sympathy with herself 

 and family in their bereavement; this letter was subsequently 

 forwarded.
