■WATFORD NATtTEAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 



Iv 



Dr. F. Y. Hayden, Director of the Survey, are the most important. 

 Several of the scientific societies with which exchange of publi- 

 cations is made, have presented entire volumes, and a few have 

 most liberally given complete sets of volumes of their publications. 

 A considerable number of books and pamphlets has also been re- 

 ceived from authors and others, both members and non-members of 

 the Society. The books, maps, etc., belonging to the Society in 

 the Watford Public Library have been insured, in the names of 

 the Trustees, in the Liverpool and London and Globe Fire In- 

 surance Office to the amount of £50. 



A cabinet for microscopic slides has been purchased, and the 

 Council invite donations of slides, which will be gladly received by 

 your Curator. "When a sufficient number has accumulated, it is 

 intended to let them circulate amongst the members, and those who 

 may desire to borrow the slides are recommended to procure, for 

 their safe conveyance, small cases such as are used by the members 

 of the Quekett Microscopical Club for this purpose. 



In conclusion the Council have again to express their thanks to 

 the Committee of the Watford Public Library, for the facilities 

 aif orded for the holding of the evening meetings of the Society ; 

 and more especially also to their Chairman, Dr. lies, for his kind- 

 ness in inviting the members of the Society to his conversazione on 

 the 27th of October.
